What is Yashoda Jayanti?
Of all the women in Krishna's story, only his foster mother gets her own birth anniversary — and this is it. Falling on Phalguna Krishna Shashthi, Yashoda Jayanti is observed mainly by Pushtimarg Vaishnavas and Braj families, with mothers fasting for their children's safety and long life.
Why is Yashoda Jayanti observed?
The day belongs to the woman who actually raised Krishna in Gokula after he was carried across the Yamuna to escape Kamsa. The Garuda Purana's Mathura-mahatmya explains her name simply: Yashoda is 'she who gives fame (yasha) to the cowherd community.' Two episodes from the tenth book of the Bhagavata Purana dominate the day's storytelling. In the first, an exasperated Yashoda ties toddler Krishna to a wooden grinding mortar after his butter-stealing — earning him the name Damodara, 'the one with a rope around his belly.' In the second, she peers into his mouth to check for eaten mud and sees the entire universe inside. Pushtimarg households in Gujarat and Braj read these chapters aloud, dress baby-Krishna images on a swing, and offer butter and curd — the foods of his Gokula childhood.
Which prarthanas are recited on Yashoda Jayanti?
Govinda Damodara Stotram and Bala Mukundashtakam are recited on Yashoda Jayanti. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
