 Bhagawat: The Krishna Avatar

Author: an Amar Chitra Katha Publication

  • The Darling of Gokul.: Story begins with introducing Parikshit, the grandson of Arjuna. He wanted to hear the story of Krishna. Following that the story goes on to talk about how it began with the marriage of the prince of Dwaraka and Devaki. A known prophecy tells that the eight born of Devaki will slay Kamsa (her cousin). Kamsa takes over and puts both the prince and his bride in prison and kills their children one by one. By way of a miracle, the 7th and 8th children are smuggled away to live in Gokul, one of them being Krishna. Krishna is an incarnation of the god Vishnu. Kamsa sends Pootana to kill the newborn babies but Krishna defeats her. Krishna does enormous feats simply as a toddler. Krishna also reveals his divine form to Yashoda but later makes her forget what she saw. The different supernatural events occurring in Gokul forced the people to move.

    Wesley, great job on noting these observations ! Krishna was indeed a clever and miraculous child. There was a story where-in he opens his mouth to show Yashoda the entire universe. I always wondered how Yashoda handled raising a god. Great job on the meme too ! I need to rewatch some of these classics.

 Hello, My name is Wesley Williams and I am a biology pre-dentistry major. The coolest thing about my major is that I only had to take Calculus and not go any further in math. One of the best classes I took last semester was Native American Music. It was really easy and the teacher made it very enjoyable as we learned about the music culture of different Native American tribes. One of my biggest accomplishments last semester was going on a vegetarian diet for two weeks. A few of my favorite TV shows are Snowfall, Breaking Bad, Money Heist, and Power. A couple of my favorite movies are Blue Streak, Juice, Paid in Full, and American Assassin. Some of my favorite music artists are Juice Wrld, Polo G, Money Man, and Rod Wave. I listen to a lot of different artists but those are a few that I am currently listening to a lot. Some of my hobbies are playing video games, working out, and watching TV. One thing I would like to try if I had more time is going golfing. A few of my favorite foods a

Many rumors were surfacing that Sasha was not kidnapped by her crazy ex-boyfriend, but that she had left on her own accord to be with him.
