Janmashtami 2022 History

Lord Krishna was the son of Vasudeva and Devaki. He was born when Mathura was ruled by his uncle Kansa. Kansa was a tyrannical ruler. He wanted to kill his sister’s children as the prophecy said that the eighth son of the couple would cause the downfall of Kansa and kill him in the future. Kansa then imprisoned Devaki and Vasudeva and killed their first six children.

But when their seventh child, Balarama, was born, the fetus magically passed from the womb of Devaki to the womb of Princess Rohini. When their eighth child, Krishna, was born, the whole palace fell asleep, so Vasudeva saved the child and took him to Nanda Baba and Yashoda’s house in Vrindavan.

After the exchange, Vasudeva returned to the palace with a baby girl and handed her over to Kansa. When the evil king tried to kill the child, she turned into Durga, warning him about his impending doom, and thus, Krishna grew up in Vrindavan and later killed his uncle Kansa.
