Birth of Krishna
Birth of Krishna God Krishna was born as a son of Vasudeva and Devaki. Devaki’s brother Kansa was a cruel man who engaged in heinous activities. During Devaki and Vasudeva’s wedding rituals, Kansa is warned by the divine light of sky that their 8th child would kill him. Hearing this, Kansa imprisons the couple and kills every child that is born But when Krishna is born, Vasudeva secretly arranges for the infant to be carried away and replaces him with another baby (Krishna’s foster-mother Yashoda’s daughter). When evil Kansa tries to kill this replaced baby girl, she turns into goddess Adi Parashakti and warned him that his destroyer has arrived and he can’t change his fate. Meanwhile, the newborn Krishna is carried to the other side of the river Yamuna, where he is rescued and fostered by Nanda and his wife Yashoda in Gokul. The birth of Lord Krishna is celebrated as Janmashtami.
