Lord Krishna says – Whoever offers Me with a pure mind and devotion – a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water, I delightfully partake of that. (<\/b>Bhagavad Gita<\/i><\/b> \u2013 Chapter 9, 26<\/b>th<\/b> Verse)<\/b><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Bhagavad Gita<\/i><\/b>,<\/span> also known as <\/span>\u201cThe Song of God\u201d <\/b>is a sacred Hindu text that is part of the ancient epic poem, the Mahabharata. It is considered one of the most important and influential texts in Hinduism and is revered by millions of Hindus around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

True to Lord Krishna\u2019s words in the <\/span>Bhagavad Gita<\/span><\/i>, love is the basis of all miracles. He accepts everything in love and blesses His devotees manifold. <\/span>Sanatana Dharma<\/span><\/i> is a witness to plenty of miraculous stories. Miracles are His way to reciprocate our love and strengthen our faith in Him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once upon a blessed time in Dvapara Yuga<\/b><\/p>\n

It was a beautiful day in the holy land of <\/span>Gokul<\/span><\/i>.<\/span> Kamsa was an evil king who reigned over the Earth and created havoc among citizens. Even innocent children were prey to his evil deeds and killings.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to legend, Kamsa was told by a prophecy that he would be killed by the eighth son of his sister, Devaki. Out of fear, Kamsa imprisoned Devaki and her husband Vasudeva and killed their first six children as soon as they were born. The seventh child, Balarama, was secretly transferred to the womb of another woman, Rohini.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Kamsa knew that the eighth child, Krishna, was secretly transported to Gokul by Vasudeva as soon as He was born. Kamsa vowed to kill Krishna and sent Putana (a demoness) to Gokul. Putana disguised herself as a beautiful woman and set out on her task. However, she did not know who among the newborns was Krishna; she wanted to leave no stone unturned, either. So she went to every single home in Gokul where there was a newborn and fed them her poisoned breast milk. Finally, she reached Krishna\u2019s place and gave her poisoned milk to baby Krishna.<\/span><\/p>\n

Krishna, however, knew Putana’s true intentions and suckled from her breast, drawing out not just her milk but her own <\/span>prana<\/span><\/i> – her life force. As Putana died, she reverted to her ferocious demoness form, which extended for miles.<\/span><\/p>\n

The people of Gokul were amazed to see the lifeless body of Putana lying there, and they praised Lord Krishna for saving their lives. It is said that Putana’s death marked the beginning of Krishna’s triumph over evil forces in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is one of the best-loved miraculous stories of Lord Krishna recorded in Hindu mythology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who is Lord Krishna?<\/b><\/p>\n

Lord Krishna is one of the most revered deities in <\/span>Sanatana<\/span><\/i> Dharma.<\/span><\/i> He is the eighth <\/span>avatar<\/span><\/i> of Lord Vishnu. He is known for His miraculous deeds. These miracles are recorded in various holy scriptures, such as the Bhagavata Purana, Mahabharata, <\/span>Harivamsa,<\/span> Brahma Vaivarta Purana <\/span>and Vishnu Purana.<\/span><\/p>\n

The name \u2018Krishna\u2019 means <\/span>all-attractive<\/b>. He is a <\/span>Purna Avatar<\/span><\/i> (complete avatar in all aspects) with 16 <\/span>Kalas<\/span><\/i> (divine attributes) which are:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
