Gopashtami 2025: According to the calendar, Gopashtami will be celebrated on Thursday, October 30th. This festival is celebrated every year on the Ashtami Tithi of the Shukla Paksha (bright fortnight) of Kartik. On this day, Lord Krishna and Mother Cow are worshipped. Along with Mother Cow, her calves are also served. Worshipping Lord Krishna on Gopashtami is believed to bestow the desired boon.
Hinduism holds that to break the arrogance of Lord Indra, Lord Krishna lifted Mount Govardhan on his little finger and remained in this position for seven days. However, on the Ashtami Tithi of the Shukla Paksha of Kartik, Indra accepted defeat, and from that day onwards, Gopashtami began to be celebrated. Today, we will tell you about the auspicious time and the Yoga that is formed for GoYogatami.
