Krishna Janmashtami Bhajans
Darshan Do Ghanshyam
Darashan do ghanashyam naath mori
Ankhiyan pyaasi re
Man mandir ki jyoti jagaado,
Ghat ghat basi re
Mandir mandir murat teri
Phir bhi naa dikhe surat teri
Yug bite naa aai milan ki
Puranamasi re
Dwaar dayaa kaa jab tu khole
Pancham sur mein gungaa bole
Andhaa dekhe langadaa chal kar
Pahunche kasi re
Paani pi kar pyaas bujhaun
Nainon ko kaise samajhaaun
Aankh michauli chhodo ab
Man ke basi re
Nibarl ke bal dhaan nidharn ke
Tum rakhwaale bhakt janon ke
Tere bhajan mein sab sukh paun
Mite udasi re
Naam jape par tujhe naa jaane
Unako bhi tu apanaa maane
Teri dayaa kaa ant nahin hai
He dukh nashi re
Aaj phaisalaa tere dwaar par
Meri jit hai teri haar par
Har jit hai teri main to
Charan upaasi re
Dwaar khadaa kab se matavaalaa
Maange tum se har tumhaari
Narasi ki ye binati sunalo
Bhakt vilaasi re
Laj naa lut jaaye prabhu teri
Naath karo naa dayaa mein deri
Tin lok chhod kar aao
Gangaa nivasi re
Bhajo Radhe Govinda
Bhajo Radhe Govinda
Gopala Tera pyara naam hai
Gopala Tera pyara naam
Nandalala Tera pyara naam
Mor mukat maathe tilak
Gale vaijanthimala Gale
Koi kahe Vasudev ka
Koi kahe Nandalala Koi kahe
Bhajo Radhe Govinda.
Gaj aur Grehe lade jal
Jal mein chakra chalaya Jal mein chakra chalaya
Jab jab bhid padi bhagaton par
Nanggi pairin dhaya Nanggi pairin dhaya

Mayajaal ke rang hai kacche, bas tohre naam ke pukke,
Rang lo mohe
Apne rang mein murari
Tohre naam se hoga is bhav sagar ka paar

Apne rang main murari

If you want to know the interesting story of Lord Krishna, read the article. Given below is the legend of Lord Krishna, which drives the people to celebrate Janmashtami, year by year.
Krishna Janmashtami Legends
Kansa
According to the legends, Kansa was a mighty and discourteous prince of Mathura. His father Ugrasen had chosen Vasudev, one of the highly ranked officials in his army, as the groom for his daughter - Devki (Kansa's sister). Agreeing to the decision, Kansa arranged a lavish wedding for his only sister. When Kansa was riding on a chariot along with the newly wed couple - Devki and Vasudev - a heavenly voice interrupted the journey. It predicted that Devki's eighth son would kill Kansa. Upon hearing the prophesy, the self-centered Kansa imprisoned the newly wed couple.
Apart from imprisoning Devki and Vasudev, Kansa also put his own father (the King of Mathura) behind bars. Consequently, Kansa took over as the King of Mathura. He waited until the arrival of the Devki's first child. The moment Kansa heard the news of the birth of Devki's first child; he headed towards the prison ferociously, got hold of the newborn and killed the child. The following six newborns of Devki were killed by Kansa in similar manner. When she was about to give birth to her eighth child, a heavenly voice commanded Vasudev to take the newborn to Gokul and exchange it with the newborn girl child of Nanda and Yashoda.
Birth Of Lord Krishna
The guards of the prison had fallen into deep slumber. They were unable to inform their master about the birth of Devki's eighth child. The shackles and the prison gate opened miraculously and Vasudev stepped out of the prison with the newborn, carried in a small basket. In the midnight, Vasudev carried the newborn in the basket and traveled through the waters of stormy Yamuna River. Since it was raining heavily, a huge snake known as Adisesha with its 2000 hoods, glided behind the father and the newborn, in order to act as a protective canopy for the divine child. When Vasudev returned from Gokul, the shackles fastened automatically, the doors of the prison closed and the guards woke up.
Upon hearing the news of the birth of Devki's eighth child, Kansa went to the cell and got hold of the newborn. Ironically, the child slipped out of his stranglehold and appeared as Goddess, laughing at him. She vanished after telling that the eighth son of Devki (Lord Krishna) had already born and was safe elsewhere. Lord Krishna grew up at Gokul as a mischievous prankster who was the heartbeat of Gokul and the favorite of Gopikas. He grew up as a lovable brat, who played around mischievously and looted fresh Makhan (homemade butter) from every household of Gokul. Year by year, people in Mathura, Gokul and elsewhere in India celebrate the birth of the favorite deity - Lord Krishna on the eighth day (asthami) of Savan month and name it as Janmashtami or Krishnashtami.
