How pleasant and happy the atmosphere of the surroundings would be where the Lord is born! It was about midnight. Calm and peace reigned everywhere. The sky was clear and the stars were glowing bright. The star Rohini was in the ascendant, denoting auspiciousness to the earth. The lotus flowers in lakes were in full bloom, expressing, as it were, their happiness in the coming of Lord Krishna to the earth. The breeze was blowing very gently lest it should cause pain to Devaki who was carrying the Lord of the universe in her womb. The forests were full of beautiful birds. They began to sing sweetly. The peacocks began to dance with their consorts. There was peace in everyone’s mind. In the heavens the gods beat drums to announce the Lord’s advent on the earth. They showered flowers from the sky to express their joy. At such a time, in the pitch darkness of midnight, Mahavishnu, was born to Devaki in the form of child Krishna. Vasudeva was intently looking at the lovely child. Then a great miracle happened. As he looked at the new born child, Vasudeva was amazed. It was not an ordinary child. The great God Vishnu had appeared in his real form. Vasudeva saw that it was not a child, but Narayana Himself who was lying there. What was the form he saw? The child had lotus eyes, four arms, holding conch, discus, mace and lotus. The child was wearing a yellow cloth. He had a pair of ear rings set with precious stones. His body glistened with a brilliant girdle, armlets, bangles and other ornaments. When Vasudeva saw the extraordinary form, his eyes glowed in wonder. He understood that the child was none other than Narayana Himself. HAPPY JANMASTAMI …….JAI SREE KRISNA ( source Belurmath Website , Kids section
