The Birth of Krishna
King Kamsa of Mathura was a tyrant and an evil king. It was prophesied that Kamsa would be killed by the eight child born to his sister Devaki and her husband. Vasudeva. Kamsa imprisoned both of them and ensured that each of their newborns were eliminated on the day of their births. Krishna was born as the eighth son to Devaki and Vasudeva. The night Krishna was born, a divine voice directed Vasudeva to smuggle the new born out of the prison and take him to his friend’s house in Gokul and exchange his son with his friend’s new born girl. He is assured that his son would have a safe upbringing in Gokul.
Vasudeva follows the instruction and safely delivers the new born to Gokul and get’s his friend’s new born daughter to the prison. Kamsa thinks that the eighth child, born to his sister, is not a boy but a girl. Nevertheless, he decides to eliminate the girl but is unable to do so as the new born girl was an incarnation of Goddess Durga. Kamsa finds out that the child destined to kill him is safe and out of his reach.
