Spiritual Remedies on Janmashtami
Janmashtami is a powerful spiritual gateway. It’s believed that meditating or performing remedies during this time brings peace, success, and protection from negative energies.
Here are some effective yet simple spiritual practices:

Tulsi is very dear to Krishna. Offering it with devotion pleases the divine and purifies your aura. - Feeding Cows or Brahmins

Post-Janmashtami, during Rohini Nakshatra (17–18 August), meditating on Krishna’s image or yantra brings deep emotional healing. - Donate Yellow or White Clothes
It is considered highly auspicious to donate yellow (Krishna’s color) or white clothes to the needy on Janmashtami.
