Furthermore, the devotee will stay protected from a premature death, stated the Pandit.

The fast should be done with a resolution, according to Pandit Dheeraj. The resolution should be, “Lord, I am fasting for you on Janmashtami. Make it successful.” The devotees should keep a vigil till 12 in the night and must worship Lord Krishna in his child form, after his birth. After the night puja, the Lord should be given the Dhanush Panjari Prasad with some mawa.
