History of Krishna Janmashtami

Lord Krishna was the eighth avatar of lord Vishnu, who was born in Mathura to Devaki and Vasudeva. When lord Krishna was born Mathura was ruled by Kansa who was the brother of Devaki and uncle of Krishna.

Kansa wanted to kill all the children of Devaki and Vasudev because it was destined that the eighth child of the couple would be the reason for Kansa’s downfall and death.

After knowing this Kansa imprisoned Devaki and Vasudeva and he used to kill each and every newborn child of the couple and he killed 6 fetus of Devaki and mystically the seventh fetus of Devaki was transferred from Devaki’s womb to Princess Rohini’s and later he was named Balram elder brother of lord Krishna.

When the eighth child of the couple was born, the entire palace went into slumber, and Vasudeva rescued the baby to Nand Baba and Yashodha’s house in Vrindavan.

And after that he exchanged the babies, Vasudeva returned to the palace with a newborn baby girl and handed her to Kansa, when the evil king tried to kill the baby, she transformed into the Goddess Durga, and she warned him about his impending doom.

And lord Krishna spent his entire childhood in Vrindavan and saved the people of Vrindavan from bad and evil monsters and later he moved to Mathura and as per the destiny he killed the evil Kansa.
