The Divine Story of Krishna's Birth - A Spiritual Experience
Mathura is one of the seven ancient, sacred and salvation-givien cities of India. This is the holy land where Lord Krishna was born as his eighth incarnation. The divinity that once pervaded the entire universe that night can be felt in the air of Mathura.It is said that the tyrannical King Kansa has heard a prophecy that he would die at the hands of his own sister Devaki's eighth child. on hearing this, Kansa, blinded by fear and anger, imprisoned Devaki and her husband Vasudev. As soon as a child was born from Devaki's womb, Kansa would kill him mercilessly.
But who can stop destiny? The wheel of time slowly took a turn and when the time for Devaki's eighth child came, a wonderful coincidence occurred in the sky. It was at that moment when it was the Ashtami Tithi of the dark forthight of the Bhadrapad month, the rohini Nakshatra was in its full glory, exactly at midnight, when the whole world was asleep, then the zero hour appeared - the moment when only the auspicious planets were looking at that divine Lagna.
At this very auspicious time, before the confluence of Treta Yuga, and Kali Yuga, at the end of the 28th Dwapar Yuga, in 4223 BC i.e.aout 5126 years ago Shri Hari Vishnu himself incarnated as Shri Krishna.
This was no ordinary birth- it was the manifestation of God to restore Dharma, destroy sin, and protect the devotees. consciousness like Krishna would incarnate again - this is the depth and message of this incarnation.
