Eighth Avatar of Lord Vishnu
Lord Shri Krishna is considered the eighth Avtar of Vishnu!
Sri Ram took birth as a prince of King Dasharatha, while Shri Krishna was born in the prison of the Kansa. Shri Krishna was born on the midnight of Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami as the son of Devaki and Sri Vasudeva in the Rohini Nakshatra. Kansa had imprisoned her sister Devaki and Vasudev in jail for fear of her death.
During the birth of Lord Krishna, there was dense darkness all around. As soon as the Shri Krishna took Avtar, the chains of Vasudev-Devaki opened, the prison doors opened themselves, the guards were in a deep sleep. Vasudeva somehow took Shri Krishna across the soaring Yamuna to his friend Nandagop 's house in Gokul. Nanda's wife Yashoda over there.
A girl was also born to him. Vasudev put Sri Krishna to Yashoda and took the girl. Kansa wanted to slap the girl and kill her. But he failed in this task.
In childhood, Shri Krishna killed many demons sent by his maternal uncle and thwarted all his misdeeds. In the end, Shri Krishna killed the Kansa. Janmashtami is the name of the birth anniversary of Shri Krishna. In Gokul, this festival is celebrated under the name of 'Gokulashtami.'
