Week 14 Reading: Epified - Krishna Part A

 

Source

Krishna - had enemies before he was born. They tried to keep him from being born. They couldn't prevent his birth, so they tried to keep him from growing up. He survived and became a king. They were apart of his world.


Kansa - A voice came from the sky and told him of his death. The 8th child born to the couple would be his killer. He threw the couple into prison, because he could not bear to kill his sister. So he killed her children instead. Every time she gave birth to a child he smashed them against the wall. Her 7th child was transferred into the womb of another woman by the goddess. Everyone thought she had a miscarriage because she didn't give birth, but another woman did in her stead. Her 8th child was Vishnu and the gods rejoiced.


Vasudev - He feared for his god-baby, but everyone was put into a deep sleep. He heard a voice tell him it's ok to go outside. When he got to the river, a serpent emerged and protected him from the rain with its hood. He found the people of Nand. He stole a child, and replaced her with his son. He was happy his son was ok, but what about Maya? He's just gonna let her die
