This sacred occasion is also known as Masik Janmashtami, which holds deep religious meaning for devotees across India and the world. This day is dedicated to Lord Krishna. But, along with Lord Krishna, his birth parents Vasudev and Devaki, his foster parents Nand Baba and mother Yashoda, Lord Krishna's brother Balram, and his sister Subhadra are also worshipped.
Masik Krishna Janmashtami is different from the annual Janmashtami, which is celebrated in the month of Bhadrapada (August-September). The festival is observed on the Ashtami (eighth day) of the Krishna Paksha, which is the dark fortnight of the lunar cycle.
Masik Krishna Janmashtami offers an opportunity to devotees towards Lord Krishna and to seek his blessing. It is believed that fasting on the monthly Krishna Janmashtami destroys sins and fulfills all wishes. Worshipping Bal Gopal on this day gives the blessings of having a child. Devotees also get salvation by observing this fast.
