The Place Where

Krishna Was Born

____‌______𑁍‌__________

Geographically, his birth took place in Mathura, in the present state of Uttar Pradesh. There was a prominent chief of the Yadava community named Ugrasena. Ugrasena was becoming old and his very ambitious son, Kamsa, who had no qualms about how to become powerful could not wait for his father to die. He imprisoned his own father and took over the leadership. He also aligned himself with an absolutely ruthless emperor from the East whose name was Jarashandha. Jarashandha's dream was to conquer the whole known world.Through absolute brutal force, his power was growing at great pace. Kamsa aligned with him because that was the only way ti get powerful at that time.

Why Kamsa Wanted To Kill Krishna

____________________❀‌___________________

Kamsa's sister Devaki got married zto Vasudeva, another Yadava chief. Just after the wedding, when Kamsa himself was driving the newlywed couple in his chariot,   an astral voice made a prophecy. This voice said from the sky. "Oh Kamsa,  very happily you are driving your sister after her wedding. The eighth child born to this sister of yours will slay you. That will be your end."

Immediately, Kamsa got violent. "Oh, her eighth child is going to come and kill me? I'm going to kill her right now. Let's see how she will have her eighth child." He took out his sword and right there, wanted to behead his own sister.

Vasudeva the groom, begged of Kamsa, "Please spare her life. How can you do this?  She is your and we are just married. How can you just slaughter her right here?" "Her eighth child is going to kill me. I am not going to let anything like that happen. " So Vasudeva offered  a pact, "I will give all our newborn children to you. You can kill them. But please spare my wife right now."

But Kamsa, overly concerned about his life and security, kept his sister and his brother-in-law under a kind of house imprisonment so that they can constantly watched. The first child was born and the guards informed Kamsa. When he came, Devaki and Vasudeva wept and begged,  "It’s only the eighth child which is going to kill you. Spare this one. " kamsa said, "I don’t want to take any chances. " He picked up the line child, held him by the legs and smashed him on a rock. This continued. Every time a child was born, the parents begged Kamsa in many ways, but he wouldn’t spare a single one. Six new-born children were slaughtered like this.
