jAYANTHI kALPAH

Jayanthi Kalpaha

Jayanthi is yOga.  The yOga is Rohini nakshathra.  Jayanthi means victory.  If in ShrAvana mAsa, in Krishna paksha, in Ashtami, yOga comes then it is Jayanthi.  In the mid-night if, Rohni yOga comes then it is Jayanthi; i.e. called “Krishna Jayanthi” which is very auspicious.  KrishnAshtami comes usually in ShrAvana mAsa in Krishna paksha.  If fasting is done on this day, it amounts to 20 crores of EkAdashi vrutha.  Krishna avatAr took place in Bhadrapada mAsa, Krishna paksha on Ashtami day, which happened to be an Adhika mAsa.  (Adhika mAsa comes once in 33 months in Chandra mAna).  In Soura mAna KrishnAshtami comes in Simha mAsa. If KrishnAshtami falls on a Monday or a Sunday it is very auspicious.

In the morning bath must be taken by uttering the following mantra:

                        “YOgAya YOgapatheyE YOgAshwarAya

                          YOgasambhAvAya Shree GovindAya NamO Namaha”

The bath must be taken three times on this day by uttering the above mantra.  One must remember VAsudEva while taking bath.

Bilva pathre must be offered to Lord Krishna.  Panchamrutha Abhisheka must be performed.  Mahabhisheka must be performed with “Vishnu SUktha”.  Janivaara in the combination of 9 threads must be offered as vanamaala to Lord Krishna.  While praying, his sister Subhadra must also be worshiped.  In the mid-night after taking bath Argya must be offered.  Arghya must be given after seeing the moon. Arghya must be given three times.  Arghya must be given in conch shell (Shanka).

Chandra Arghya mantra

                        “Kshherodhaarnavasambhootha! Athrinethra samudhbhava

                          Grahaanaargyam mayaa datham rohinyaa sahithaha shashin”

To Chandra Arghya must be given in water and milk.

Shri Krishna Arghya mantra

                        “Jaathaha Kamsvadaarthaaya Bhubhaarothaayacha

                          Kouravaanaam vinaashaaya dhythyaam nidhanaayacha”                   

“Paandavaanaam hithaarthaaya dharmasamsthaapanaayacha

 Grahaargyam maya datham rohinyaa sahithaha shashin”

To Lord Krishna, Arghya must be given in milk.
