King Kansa trembled as the divine voice prophesied his doom. His sister Devaki's eighth child would end his reign. Fearing his fate, Kansa imprisoned Devaki and her husband Vasudeva.

The Prophecy

When Krishna was born at midnight, a miraculous light filled the prison. The chains binding Vasudeva fell away by themselves. The prison doors swung open while the guards slept deeply.

Divine Birth

Vasudeva carried baby Krishna in a basket through the stormy night. The raging Yamuna River parted to make way for them. Sheshnag, the divine serpent, shielded the baby from rain with his hoods.

The Escape

Krishna grew up safely in Gokul, far from Kansa's reach. He filled the village with joy and performed many miracles. Years later, he returned to Mathura to face Kansa. The prophecy was fulfilled as Krishna ended the tyrant's cruel reign.

Long ago, in the city of Mathura, there lived a cruel king named Kansa. He was feared by all for his wickedness. Kansa had a sister named Devaki, whom he loved dearly. He arranged her marriage to a nobleman named Vasudeva.​

During their wedding celebrations, a divine voice echoed from the skies, prophesying that Devaki's eighth son would be the cause of Kansa's downfall. Terrified, Kansa imprisoned Devaki and Vasudeva to prevent this prophecy from coming true.​

One by one, Kansa took away their first six children. The seventh child, Balarama, was miraculously transferred to the womb of Vasudeva's other wife, Rohini, sparing him from Kansa's wrath.​

When the time came for the eighth child to be born, a divine light filled the prison cell. Lord Krishna was born at midnight, and the chains binding Vasudeva fell off, while the prison doors opened on their own. The guards were fast asleep.​

A divine voice instructed Vasudeva to take the newborn to Gokul, where his friend Nanda lived. Carrying baby Krishna in a basket, Vasudeva stepped out into the stormy night. The Yamuna River was in full spate, but as Vasudeva approached, the waters parted to make way. A serpent named Sheshnag appeared, spreading his hoods over the baby to shield him from the rain.​

Upon reaching Nanda's house, Vasudeva found that Nanda's wife, Yashoda, had just given birth to a baby girl. He quietly exchanged the babies, placing Krishna beside Yashoda and taking the baby girl back to the prison.​

When Kansa learned of the birth, he rushed to the prison to kill the child. But as he tried to harm her, the baby transformed into the goddess Yogamaya. She warned Kansa that his nemesis had already been born and was safe elsewhere.​

Krishna grew up in Gokul, bringing joy and performing many miracles. As he matured, he returned to Mathura, confronted Kansa, and ended his tyrannical reign, fulfilling the prophecy.
