Reading notes: Krishna Part A


Krishna as a child eating butter, which he stole from Gopies
In this week's reading I decided to watch Krishna's videos. This story line was amazing, I loved all the videos that showed the birth of Krishna and how he was going to be slayer of Kansa. The most interesting story line was how Krishna was born. Even though Kansa knew that he was going to be destroyed by the eighth child of Vasudeva and Devaki, the birth of Vishnu was unstoppable. Kansa prisoned his sister Devaki and her husband Vaswedeva as he was afraid of being slaughtered by their child. I liked how when Krishna was born, gods helped Vasudeva saved his child by taking him across river Yamuna. It was nice to see the childhood of Krishna, where he misbehaved and caused small mischievous troubles around his town Gokul. It was interesting to see Krishna have a first battle as a child against the snake that poisoned his friends. He won against him just by playing with his flute.
