A Tale of Little Krishna
You must have heard people chanting:
hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare
hare ram hare ram ram ram hare hare.
As per the Gurus, Chanting this helps them mental peace and stable mindset.
Krishna means the all-attractive person, Rama means the highest pleasure, and Hare refers to Krishnas internal pleasure potency known as Srimati Radharani. By chanting of this transcendental vibration we can cleanse our hearts of all impurities. Krishna consciousness is not an artificial imposition on the mind.
Lord Krishna is very pure ever and perfect in all situations, as a child, as a friend, as a true lover, as a teacher and as a guide. Among all the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, only Lord Krishna was 16 kalaa sampoorna god.
Here I will be telling you a cute little story of his birth, These stories from Lord Krishna’s childhood offer profound insights into morality, spirituality, devotion, and the essence of life. They continue to inspire and guide people on their spiritual journeys, encouraging them to live virtuous lives and connect with the divine.
I will telling them One by one in these blogs
Birth and Escape from Kansa’s Prison
Once upon a time, in a land called Mathura, there lived a king named Kansa. He wasn’t a kind king; he was actually quite mean and cruel. One day, Kansa’s sister named Devaki got married to a good man named Vasudeva.
When Devaki was going to have a baby, something special happened. The sky lit up with bright stars, and everyone felt something magical was going to happen. But Kansa heard a prophecy that said Devaki’s eighth baby would be a big problem for him.
Kansa got scared and locked Devaki and Vasudeva in a prison so that he could keep an eye on them. Whenever Devaki had a baby, Kansa took the baby away and was very mean to them. This made Devaki and Vasudeva very sad.
Then, something incredible occurred on a stormy night. Devaki had her eighth baby, a boy named Krishna. When Krishna was born, the prison room became filled with a warm, bright light. it was so mesmarising as mentioned in this shloka
mandaṃ hasantaṃ prabhayā lasantaṃ janasya cittaṃ satataṃ harantam। veṇuṃ nitāntaṃ madhu vādayantaṃ bālaṃ mukundaṃ manasā smarāmi॥
Meaning: Whose laughters is subtle, who glows with luster, who always attract people’s mind and the one who plays the melodious flute, I bow down to Lord Krishna.
A divine voice told Vasudeva to take Krishna to a safe place.
Vasudeva took little Krishna and placed him in a basket. He bravely carried the basket through the heavy rain and reached a river called Yamuna. But guess what? The river made way for Vasudeva! He walked across the river without any trouble.

Vasudeva took Krishna to a village called Gokul, where a nice couple named Nanda and Yashoda lived. They had just had a baby girl. Vasudeva exchanged Krishna with the baby girl, and this was a magical moment too.
Back in Mathura, Kansa didn’t know what happened. He thought Devaki’s eighth baby was lost. But that was good news for Devaki and Vasudeva.
Krishna grew up in Gokul, loved and cared for by Nanda and Yashoda. He did many wonderful things, like lifting heavy hills and playing flute music that made everyone happy. People loved Krishna because he was kind and playful.
This story teaches us that good things happen even when things seem tough. It shows that love and goodness are more powerful than badness. And most importantly, it reminds us that kindness and love can change the world for the better.
There is another story of lord Krishna which I will talk about in our next blog. Stay tuned.
