Janmashtami: When is Janmashtami 15, 16 or 17 August? There is a big confusion this year..

There is a big confusion about the date of Janmashtami this year. Is the date of Shri Krishna Janmashtami 15 August, 16 August, or 17 August? This question is because different dates have been given in different calendars. According to Drik Panchang, Janmashtami is on 15 August, according to Mithila Panchang, Janmashtami is on 17 August, and other Panchangs are telling Janmashtami on 16 August. In such a situation, it is natural for people to have doubts about the date of Janmashtami. Let us know what is the correct date of Janmashtami?

How to decide the date of Janmashtami?

According to Shiva Purana, Vishnu Purana, Brahma Purana, and other Puranas, the fast of Janmashtami is observed on Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami Tithi. Lord Krishna was born on Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami Tithi on Wednesday at midnight in Rohini Nakshatra in the Moon of Taurus. Now people choose yoga according to their own for Janmashtami.

In the scriptures, two types of yogas are mentioned for this, Shuddha and Viddha. Shuddha is from Udaya Tithi to Udayaparyant, while Viddha is from Saptami or Navami. In principle, the Tithi that is at midnight is more valid. If that Tithi is for two days or not on both the days, then Viddha of Saptami should be discarded and Viddha of Navami should be taken. This Janmashtami fast is suitable for everyone.

From when to when is Janmashtami Tithi?

Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami Tithi starts from 11:49 pm on 15th August and ends on 16th August at 9:34 pm.

Date of Janmashtami
This year, Janmashtami will be celebrated on 16th August. This time, Udayatithi has been considered for Janmashtami. On August 16, sunrise will be at 05:51 AM, and at that time, the Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami date is.

This time, the Rohini Nakshatra does not match with the Ashtami date. Rohini Nakshatra is from 04:38 AM on August 17, which lasts till 3:17 AM on August 18.

On August 16, the Moon is in Taurus from 11:43 AM. In such a situation, the Udayatithi of Ashtami and the Moon of Taurus are meeting on August 16. If we look at the combination of Janmashtami, then on this day, two combinations of Ashtami Tithi and Moon of Taurus will be found, whereas on August 15, only Ashtami and on August 17, Rohini are meeting.

Janmashtami Shubh Muhurta
