Krishna

Lord Krishna was born in the Dwapar Yuga. He was the eigth child of Devaki and Vasudeva. Devaki and Vasudeva were imprisoned by Devaki’s brother Kansa, because he was warned by a celestial voice that the eight child of his sister Devaki will kill him. Mythology says that all the Gods approached the cell and suggested Vasudeva to take Lord Krishna to Dwaraka and leave him with Yashoda. In return, bring back the girl born to Yashoda. The night Krishna was born, the world favoured Vasudeva who was carrying his child in the torrential rain that was flooding all over. The river Yamuna shallower itself so that Vasudeva could cross the river. Also the prison doors opened itself, making a way for him to go. After reaching Gokul, he handed over his child to Nandgopa and brought back their daughter Maya. Lord Krishna’s birthdate is celebrated as Janmasthami every year in India.
