The Hindu Avatar Krishna

These Hindu tablets called the Upanishads were recorded thousands of Years before those of

Lord Krishna

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; yet, they have a Krishna or Christ that was Crucified long before the Bible and Koran were created.

Lord Krishna was the eighth Avatar of Vishnu. Lord Vishnu came in Krishna Avatar to protect Dharma and to spread peace and love on earth. The name Krishna was given to him because of his color (in sanskrit krsna means the color of night i.e is Dark).

Krishna is portrayed as an attractive young boy with bright eyes and divine glow on his dark or blue’ skin playing a flute. Krishna was the son of Devaki and Vaasudeva. Deavki was the sister of Kansa and daugher of King Uggarsen of Mathura. King Kansa was a cruel King he was known for his brutishness.

He arranged the marriage of his sister Devaki with one of his deserving friend Vaasudev. After their marriage when King kansa was about to bid farewell to Devaki , Vaasudeva , he decided to ride the marriage chariot till Vaasudeva’s home, while he war ridding their marriage chariot he heard the AakashVani (voice coming from Sky i.e heavens) that he will be killed by Devaki’s eighth Son.

Hearing this the evil Kansa stepped into the marriage chariot and tried to kill Devaki with his sward but Vaasudeva stops him.

Vaasudeva convinced him saying that they will submit their eighth child and he can do anything to him. Kansa imprisoned Dewaki and Vaasudeva , he even imprisoned his father Uggersen. Kamsa imprisoned the couple and he killed each and every child of Devaki and Vaasudev the day it was born by lumping it on the stone.

Turn by turn, year by year six sons was killed mercilessly by Kansa. Now Devaki was pregnant with the seventh child. Lord Vishnu called upon Goddess Mahamaya and asked her to transfer the seventh child in Devaki’s womb to Rohini’s womb. Rohini was the first wife of Vaasudeva.

Mahamaya did so, she transferd the seventh child of Vaasudeva in Rohini’s womb who resides in Gokul with Yasodha and Nanda Raj , Nand Raj was the brother in Law of Vaasudeva. This seventh Child was Balraam who was very brave and Robust. After an year Devaki was having her eight child in her womb. She gave birth to Krishna on mid night of Ashtami (a day according to hindu calender, this day is now celebrated as Janamashtami) it was raining heavily.

The prison Guards were sleeping, Devaki and Vaasudeva prayed to God to to have mercy on their child and to protect him from evil.

 Kansa, by that time the chains of Vaasudeva broke and the prisons doors opened itself . The Guards were sleeping as if the were dead. Devaki hugged the child closed to her heart and gave it to Vaasudeva. Vaasudeva took the child and rushed towards Gokul.

Vaasudeva reached River Yamuna he saw baskets on the river bank, he placed the child in one of the basket and lifted it over his head. The water of Yamuna was flowing wildly, Vaasudeva stepped in the river to cross it . The water level rose higher till Vaasudeva’s nose, it seems as if Yamuna was eager to touch Lord Krishna. Krishna touched the river with his foot and instantly the water level started falling.
