So, as Krishna Janmashtami is nearing, you will find decorations and religious functions to be held in several temples where Lord Krishna idols or images are placed. Here are some amazing benefits of visiting Shri Krishna temples in your locality or in a famous location.
Why walk on the path shown by Lord Krishna?
1) Peace of mind:
It is believed that Lord Krishna is the ultimate hero in Hindu mythology. It is because Shri Krishna appeared in several important events in the Bhagavad Gita that also had chapters of Mahabharata, Harivamsa, Puranas, among others. He is mentioned as the Supreme Being who includes the various forms of Gods within him. So, when the mind gets turbulent with a lot of negativity, just chanting “Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare. Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare” is believed to bring a lot of positive energy to human beings. The powerful mantra can be recited at any time of the day or night whenever you feel uneasy or restless. Especially if you visit a Krishna God temple and recite these mantras during your time inside the temple premises, you will achieve the peace of mind that you have been looking for, all this while.
2) Gives you positive energy:
When you visit a Lord Krishna temple, you will definitely see the various forms of Krishna in the architecture, the idols will be of small baby Krishna with a smiling face and also pictures of Lord Krishna that will narrate the entire story of Lord Krishna while he lived on the earth in the human form. This will mesmerize you the history and also give you a positive mindset of how Lord Krishna overcame all the struggles and challenges of his life with sheer determination and courage. On the temple premises, you will also get to hear Krishna kirtans and bhajans, or devotional songs that will help you express your devotion to the Lord. The positive energy that you will get by visiting any Lord Krishna temple will help you get clarity in all your life’s decisions and thus, attain happiness and prosperity in your life.
3) Gives you a spiritual mindset:
You cannot visit a temple at any time of the day or night. There is a Brahma Muhurat visiting the Lord Krishna temple between 4 am and 6 am. If that time is not possible, you can still visit the temple between 7am to 8.30am after taking a good bath at home. Avoid eating anything before going to the temple. You can even sit in a meditation pose inside the temple premises and chant your chosen mantra with a Tulsi mala and count 108 times. Walking inside the temple premises barefoot will help you explore the pure vibrations of positive energy and also help the energy pass through your body. This will also help you to leave your ego and pride aside and get the needed relaxation you have always desired.
