श्राद्ध में क्या करें, क्या न करें ?
Pitar paksh shardha
दूसरेकी भूमिपर श्राद्ध नहीं करना चाहिये। जंगल, पर्वत, पुण्यतीर्थ और देवमन्दिर – ये दूसरेकी भुमिमें नहीं आते; क्योंकि इनपर किसीका स्वामित्व नहीं होता । - कूर्मपुराण
श्राद्धमें पितरोंकी तृप्ति ब्राह्मणोंके द्वारा ही होती है। -स्कन्दपुराण
रात्रिमें श्राद्ध नहीं करना चाहिये, उसे राक्षसी कहा गया है। दोनों सन्ध्याओंमें तथा पूर्वाह्णकालमें भी श्राद्ध नहीं करना चाहिये । - मनुस्मृति ३।२८०
श्राद्धकालमें आये हुए अतिथिका अवश्य सत्कार करे। उस समय अतिथिका सत्कार न करनेसे वह श्राद्ध कर्मके सम्पूर्ण फलको नष्ट कर देता है। - वराहपुराण
श्राद्धमें पहले अग्निको ही भाग अर्पित किया जाता है। अग्निमें हवन करनेके बाद जो पितरोंके निमित्त पिण्डदान किया जाता है, उसे ब्रह्मराक्षस दूषित नहीं करते। - महाभारत, अनु. ९२।११-१२
जो अज्ञानी मनुष्य अपने घर श्राद्ध करके फिर दुसरे घर भोजन करता है, वह पाप का भागी होता है और उसे श्राद्धका फल नहीं मिलता। - स्कन्दपुराण
एक हाथसे लाया गया जो अन्न (अन्नपात्र) ब्राह्मणोंके आगे परोसा जाता है, उस अन्नको राक्षस छीन लेते हैं। - मनुस्मृति ३।२२५
वस्त्रके बिना कोई क्रिया, यज्ञ, वेदाध्ययन और तपस्या नहीं होती । अतः श्राद्धकालमें वस्त्रका दान विशेषरुपसे करना चाहिये। -ब्रह्मपुराण
श्राद्ध और हवनके समय तो एक हाथसे पिण्ड एवं आहुति दे, पर तर्पणमें दोनों हाथोंसे जल देना चाहिये। - पद्मपुराण,नारदपुराण,मत्स्यपुराण,ब्रह्मपुराण,लघुयमस्मृति
श्राद्धके पिण्डोंको गौ, ब्राह्मण या बकरीको खिला दे अथवा अग्नि या पानीमें छोड दे । - मनुस्मृति ३।२६०, महाभारत,अनु. १४५
जो सफेद तिलोंसे पितरोंका तर्पण करता है, उसका किया हुआ तर्पण व्यर्थ होता है । - पद्मपुराण
जहाँ रजस्वला स्त्री, चाण्डाल और सुअर श्राद्धके अन्नपर दृष्टि डाल देते हैं, वह अन्न प्रेत ही ग्रहण करते हैं। -स्कन्दपुराण
श्राद्धमें तीन वस्तुएँ अत्यन्त पवित्र हैं – दुहितापुत्र, कुतपकाल (जब सूर्यका ताप घटने लगता है, उस समय का नाम है ‘कुतप’) तथा तिल । - महाभारत, आदि. ९३,अनु. १४५, सकन्दपुराण, मनुस्मृति

Shree Krishna Janamasthmi
Mother Earth, unable to bear the burden of sins committed by evil kings and rulers, appealed to Brahma, the Creator for help. Brahma prayed to the Supreme Lord Vishnu, who assured him that he would soon be born on earth to annihilate tyrannical forces.
One such evil force was Kamsa, the ruler of Mathura (in northern India) and his people were utterly terrified of him. On the day Kamsa’s sister Devaki was married off to Vasudeva, an akashvani or voice from the sky was heard prophesying that Devaki’s 8th son would be the destroyer of Kamsa. The frightened Kamsa immediately unsheathed his sword to kill his sister but Vasudeva intervened and implored Kamsa to spare his bride, and promised to hand over every new born child to him. Kamsa relented but imprisoned both Devaki and her husband Vasudeva.
When Devaki gave birth to her first child, Kamsa came to the prison cell and slaughtered the newborn. In this way, he killed the first six sons of Devaki. Even before her 8th child was born, Devaki and Vasudeva started lamenting its fate and theirs. Then suddenly Lord Vishnu appeared before them and said he himself was coming to rescue them and the people of Mathura. He asked Vasudeva to carry him to the house of his friend, the cowherd chief Nanda in Gokula right after his birth, where Nanda’s wife Yashoda had given birth to a daughter.
He was to exchange his boy and bring Yashoda’s baby daughter back to the prison. Vishnu assured them that “nothing shall bar your path”.At midnight on ashtami, the divine baby was born in Kamsa’s prison. Remembering the divine instructions, Vasudeva clasped the child to his bosom and started for Gokula, but found that his legs were in chains. He jerked his legs and was unfettered! The massive iron-barred doors unlocked and opened up.
While crossing river Yamuna, Vasudeva held his baby high over his head. The rain fell in torrents and the river was in spate. But the water made way for Vasudeva and miraculously a five-mouthed snake followed him from behind and provided shelter over the baby.
When Vasudeva reached Gokula, he found the door of Nanda’s house open. He exchanged the babies and hurried back to the prison of Kamsa with the baby girl. Early in the morning, all the people at Gokula rejoiced the birth of Nanda’s beautiful male child. Vasudeva came back to Mathura and as he entered, the doors of the prison closed themselves.
When Kamsa came to know about the birth, he rushed inside the prison and tried to kill the baby. But this time it skipped from his hand and reaching the sky. She was transformed into the goddess Yogamaya, who told Kamsa: “O foolish! What will you get by killing me? Your nemesis is already born somewhere else.”
In his youth Krishna killed Kamsa along with all his cruel associates, liberated his parents from prison, and reinstated Ugrasen as the King of Mathura.
