In the second part of the videos of Krishna that story got more intense as the baby Krishna was growing up to defeat his evil uncle Kansa. One of the scene that was interesting was when he first reachers Mathura and uses his powers to heal people of Mathura and even defeat an evil elephant. It was also interesting to see the chariot, who was talking Krishna and his brother Balram to Mathura saw the first glimpse of Krishna's old avatar. H e was just washing his face in a nearby river and saw a glimpse of Lord Vishnu. The best part about the film was when Krishna kills Kamsa, which leads to killing of Kansa as his last plan failed. That's also when he first meets his birth parents, where Kansa had locked them up. I was wondering how this story and his meeting with Pandavas was related as it did not seem to connect but at the and it kinds of makes sense as Krishna becomes the king of Dwarka.

Reading notes: Krishna Part A

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.
