Birth of Krishna

We can say that the birth of krishna was mainly for the demolition of kansa. Krishna was a Son of Devaki and Vasudeva. Devaki was the Sister of brutal king Kansa. The whole kingdom of Kansa were fedup and helpless from the cruelness of Kansa. Kansa prognosticated that 8th Son of the Devaki will became the cause of his death. He come to know about the prophesied then he decided to kill Devaki. But due to the pleaded of Vasudeva he left her because Vasudeva promised to Kansa that they will handover their child vento Kansa. 

                                       So, Kansa killed six children of that helpless pair. So, before the birth of Seventh child Lord Vishu said  to Goddes Yogmaya to change the embryo of Shesh Naag from Devaki's womb to Rohini's womb (who was the first wife of Vasudeva). By which 7th Son could be Safe in Gokul and named as Balram. 

                             At the place of 8th child Lord Vishnu came himself on the Earth from the womb of Devaki. So, the Divine voice guided the Vasudeva to take Krishna from Mathura to Vrindavan. Where he change the baby from the baby delivered by Yashoda who was a girl child. Vasudeva has to travel by naked foot in midnight and had to Strongly cross the syromy and heavy rained whether as well as the Yamuna river.
