Keeping Fast on Janmashtami is more than thousand times beneficial than Ekadashi Fast. Lord Narayan Himself incarnated on this Night at 12.

Janmashtami Night is one of the Mahaaraatris, doing Japa Dhyan on this Night is uncountable times beneficial than on a normal day.

Yudhishthira asked  Lord Krishna, “What merit accrues from observing a fast on Janmashtami ?” The Lord says, “One observing fast on Janmashtami  will never be lacking in wealth, food and fame.” One having sex on Janmashtami day should prepare himself for some fatal disease or to have a physically challenged child.
