Why Perform Shree Krishna Janmashtami Puja?
According to Hindu Scriptures, Lord Vishnu took birth as Krishna to end the oppression of his maternal uncle Kansa. Kansa was the demon king of Mathura. There was a prophecy that Kansa would be killed by his nephew due to his sins. Instead of hundreds and thousands of attempts and tricks, Kansa could not kill Krishna (The 8th Avatar of Lord Vishnu) and Kansa was killed by Krishna.
Hence, with the end of Kansa, the era of oppression and terror was ended. Here Lord Krishna was the protector of humanity and peace. So, by commemorating the Krishna Janmashtami puja, we celebrate the birth of our protector who teaches us to establish righteousness in every age, fight against evil, and win over injustice.
