Krishna is another of the avatars of Vishnu that came down on the Earth thousands of years ago, to destroy the evil Kansa, his uncle. His birth was very strange, but interesting and spiritful! It goes as follows: Vasudeva, a nobleman, had married the princess of Mathura, Devaki. After the wedding, Devaki's brother, Kansa, drove the chariot back to the capital of Mathura, but suddenly, a heavenly voice told Kansa, that he was to be killed by Devaki and Vasudeva's eighth child, Krishna. Kansa was about to kill his sister Devaki, but after much pleading by Vasudeva, she was kept alive, but she and her husband, were kept under guard in a prison cell. Child after child, was killed by Kansa, but by a miracle, the seventh child was saved. When the eight child came around, the guard had all suddenly fallen asleep, the prison doors opened, and Vasudeva's chains fell off. He quickly took his eighth child Krishna to the house of his second wife, Rohini in Gokul. He returned to his cell, and everything went back to normal, and Kansa had learned of the escape of the little god Krishna. Kansa sent the demoness Putana out to poison him from breast-feeding him, but she is the one who ended up dying. Sam with Hastin the evil bull, Kaliya the snake in the ocean, a crazy elephant, and the gigantic wrestler Chanura at a challange match. After the wrestling match, Krishna just stood up, ran towards Kansa, took his knife, and killed him on the spot. After this, Krishna took Kansa's crown and gave it to Ugrasena, Kansa's father who was forced to be imprisoned. After all these events of great valour, courage and respect, Krishna decided to stay in the capital, Dwarka, to hold the position of a royal prince, general of the army, chief consultant. He lived for many more years, destroying the evil forces of the planet, protecting the innocent, and marrying the willing women. He married many women, and they all turned out to be the Goddess Laxmi, goddess of wealth. The most famous ones being Radha, and Rukmini.
