Krishna is reported to have Killed only 4 people in his life time. Chanoora - the Wrestler
Kansa - his maternal uncle, Shishupaala and Dantavakra - his cousins.
Life was not fair to him at all.
His mother was from Ugra clan, and Father from Yadava clan, interracial marriage.
He was born dark skinned.
He was not named at all, throughout his life. The whole village of Gokul started calling
him the black one - Krishna. He was ridiculed and teased for being black, short and
adopted too.His childhood was wrought with life threatening situations.
Drought and threat of wild wolves made them shift from Gokul to vrindavan at the age of 9 years.
He stayed in Vrindavan till 14-16 years of age. He killed his own uncle at the age - 14-16 years
at Mathura. He then released his biological mother and father.
He never returned to Vrindavan ever again.
He had to migrate to Dwaraka from Mathura due to threat of a Sindhu King - Kala Yaavana.
He defeated Jarasandha with the help of Vainatheya Tribes on Gomantaka hill (now Goa).
He rebuilt Dwaraka. He then left to Sandipani's Ashram in Ujjain to start his schooling at the
age of 16-18 years. He had to fight the pirates from Afrika and rescue his teachers son -
Punardatta who was kidnapped near Prabhasa, a sea port in Gujarat.
After his education, he came to know about his cousin’s (Pandava’s) fate of Vanvas.
He came to their rescue in Wax house and later his cousins got married to Draupadi.
His role was immense in this saga. Then, he helped his cousins to establish Indraprastha
and their Kingdom.
He saved Draupadi from embarrassment.
He stood by his cousins (Pandavas) during their exile.
He stood by them and made them win the Kurushetra war.
He saw his cherished city, Dwaraka washed away.
He was killed by a hunter in nearby forest.
He never did any miracles. His life was not a successful one. There was not a single moment
when he was at peace throughout his life. At every turn he had challenges and even more bigger challenges. He faced everything and everyone with a sense of responsibility and yet remained unattached. He is the only person who knew the past and probably the future, yet
he lived at that present moment always.
He and his life is truly an example for every human being. to adopt. We need to follow his
footsteps and immitate his lifestyle for attaining containment & peace during one's lifetime
and thereafter attain Moksha on death.
His Teachings to Arjuna, in Kurukshetra Yuddh Bhoomi, is a lesson to all Human beings,
which is documented as "Bhagwat Geeta" Shastra. It teaches us a way of living thru its
teachings of various forms of yoga-like Karmyog, Bhakti Yog, sanyas Yog, Purushottam Yog,
Gyan Yog, etc.
*Happy Shri Krishna Janma Ashtami*
