Janmashtami 2025 Shubh Muhurat: Today, the festival of Shri Krishna Janmashtami is being celebrated with great pomp across the country. On the day of Janmashtami, devotees fast all day and worship Lord Krishna’s child form i.e. Laddu Gopal. One of the most special worship methods of Janmashtami is Bal Gopal to bathe with Panchamrit and cucumber on midnight. It is believed that Lord Krishna was born during the Rohini Nakshatra at midnight, so Laddu Gopal is given a panchamrit bath on the night of Janmashtami. So let’s know how Laddu Gopal is bathed in Panchamrit.
Make Laddu Gopal born with cucumber
On the night of Janmashtami, the process of cutting cucumber stalk is called very important without which worship of Shri Krishna is considered incomplete. This process of cutting cucumber stalks is called ‘Naal piercing’ and in the same way the child is also given birth by cutting umbilical cord.
This method is completed at 12 o’clock on the night of Janmashtami or at the time of auspicious time. First bathe the cucumber kept in the puja. Then cut the cucumber stalk with a coin, as if the baby is being born by cutting the placenta. After that, rip the cucumber slightly and remove the statue of the small Kanha from it. And then loudly chant ‘Jai Kanhaiya Lal Ki’.
