i want a short note on krishna the son of yashoda.


~~Lord Krishna ”the naughty young boy, the mischievous adolescent, the lover, the flute-player, the fighter, the playboy, the desired one ”many things can be said of this Hindu deity. Krishna could possibly be one of the best-known Hindu deities in the world outside of South Asia (Smith 99). He is the eighth and maybe the most important incarnation of Vishnu. Because of this, Krishna is popularly worshipped and held beloved to his Hindu followers. His nature encompasses human desires and ambitions as well as shortcomings. He is the most humanlike deity there is, showing all the aspects of development usually associated with childhood, adolescence, and adulthood--this gives him such a likeable stature as a deity of the people.

Krishna was born in a tense historical period preceeding a devastating war. The warring factions built up so many weapons that the burden on the earth became unbearable. Finally the goddess of Earth took the form of a cow and prayed to Lord Brahma for relief. Lord Brahma called all the demigods to the shore of the Milk Ocean to hear Mother Earth and to worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Vishnu. Lord Brahma fell into trance reciting the Vedic hymns known as the Purusa-sukta and heard the voice of Lord Vishnu. Then he announced, "O demigods, hear from me the words of God. He is aware of the distress on Earth and wants you demigods to incarnate as sons and daughters in the Yadu dynasty. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna, will personally appear as the son of Vasudeva. Therefore you will all have the benediction of joining the eternal pastimes of Lord Krishna.
