Whenever other weapons failed, Shri Krishna used the Sudarshan Chakra, and his glory echoed everywhere. The Chief Minister also said that the life and leelas of Lord Shri Krishna offer timeless lessons for humanity. Jaanapav has also been included in the 'Shri Krishna Pathey" pilgrimage circuit, and all necessary development works will be undertaken here for the convenience of visiting speaking to ANI, CM Yadav said, 'Parshuram ji gave Lord Shri Krishna the Sudarshan Chakra here in Jaanapav… We are fortunate that Jaanapav is a part of Madhya Pradesh. Today, we enjoyed Janmashtami here with all the legislators. We all have the blessings of the Lord…"Janmashtami is celebrated as the day when Lord Krishna was born. Lord Krishna's birthday falls on the Ashtami Tithi of Krishna Paksha in the month of Bhadrapad. Although the celebration takes place in different parts of the country, Mathura and Vrindavan hold a special significance. One being his birthplace, and one where he spent his childhood and did his baal leela. At midnight, a special ritual is performed when the idol of Lord Krishna is bathed in milk, yoghurt, honey, ghee, and water. During the Krishna Abhishek, bells are rung, conch shells are blown, and Vedic hymns are performed. (ANI)
