(Today is the birth day of Lord Krishna)
KRISHNA
Krishna’s divine powers reflected early on, ridding the world of many menaces.
Kamsa, the evil uncle (mamu) of Krishna, had hired the services of Putana, the
Rakshasi (Female demon), to kill Krishna.
Putana was a magician and could take any form she wanted. She disguised herself as a Gopikaa, a cowherdess, and enter Krishna’s house. Krishna was still a baby then.
She fed Krishna on her breast milk which was poisoned. Krishna, though a baby, knew the real form of her and sucked her so hard that he extracted her life along with the milk. Before dying she assumed her original form and died.
Krishna is identified as the one incarnation of Lord Vishnu who knew of his divine powers even from his childhood. He started ridding the world early of evil forces and went on to do so throughout his life.
