Krishna Trail 5N -6D Jamnagar – Dwarka – Beyt Dwarka – Somnath – Ahmedabad – Shamlaji – Ahmedabad – Dakor – Ahme
Krishna Trail 5N -6D Jamnagar – Dwarka – Beyt Dwarka – Somnath – Ahmedabad – Shamlaji – Ahmedabad – Dakor – Ahmedabad The birth of Krishna is in itself a transcendental phenomenon that generates awe among the Hindusand overwhelms one and all with its supra mundane happenings.Mother Earth, unable to bear the burden of sins committed by evil kings and rulers,appealed to Brahma, the Creator for help. Brahma prayed to the Supreme Lord Vishnu,who assured him that he would soon be born on earth to annihilate tyrannical forces.One such evil force was Kansa, the ruler of Mathura (in northern India)and his people were utterly terrified of him.On the day Kansa's sister Devaki was married off to Vasudeva,an akashvani orvoice from the sky was heard prophesying that Devaki's 8th sonwould be the destroyer of Kansa. The frightened Kansa immediately unsheathed his sword to kill his sister but Vasudeva intervened and implored Kansa to spare his bride, and promised to hand over every new born child to him.Kansa relented but imprisoned both Devaki and her husband Vasudeva.When Devaki gave birth to her first child, Kansa came to the prison cell and slaughtered the newborn.In this way, he killed the first six sons of Devaki. Even before her 8th child was born, Devaki and Vasudeva started lamenting its fate andtheirs. Then suddenly Lord Vishnu appeared before them and said he himself was coming to rescue them and the people of Mathura. He asked Vasudeva to carry him to the house of his friend, the cowherd chief Nanda in Gokula right after his birth, where Nanda's wife Yashoda had given birth to a daughter.He was to exchange his boy and bring Yashoda's baby daughter back to the prison.Vishnu assured them that "nothing shall bar your path".At midnight on ashtami, the divine baby was born in Kansa's prison.Remembering the divine instructions, Vasudeva clasped the child to his bosom and started for Gokula,but found that his legs were in chains.
