Note: According to Hindu mythology, Lord Krishna was born on the eighth tithi of Shuklapaksha in the month of Bhadra. As Sanatan Dharmalambi believed, when brute power rose to devour justice, truth and beauty, Lord Krishna of Mahavata appeared to subdue that power and establish justice and welfare for mankind. Their belief is that this is how God descends from time to time to suppress evil and establish truth and beauty.
