Happy Janmashtami : Know why Lord Vishnu takes Krishna avatar

Lord Krishna is the eighth avatar of Vishnu. Lord Vishnu came to Krishna's avatar to protect Dharma and to spread peace and love on earth. The name Krishna was given because of its color, it means dark in Sanskrit. Krishna is described as an attractive boy with shining eyes and divine charisma on "dark or blue" skin who plays the flute. Krishna is the son of Devaki and Vaasudeva. Devaki is Kansa's sister and daughter of King Ugersen of Mathura. King Kansa was a ruthless king known for his brutality. She arranged her sister Devaki's marriage to one of his friends, Vaasudev. After their marriage, when King Kansa was about to bid farewell to Devaki, Vaasudeva, he decided to go to Vaasudeva's house in the wedding chariot, as he was driving his wedding chariot in the war, he heard AakashVani that he would be killed by Devaki's eighth son. When the evil Kansa heard this, he got into the car and tried to kill Devaki with his sword, but Vaasudeva stopped him. Vaasudeva reassured him by saying that they would give up their eighth child and that he could do anything for him. Kansa locked Devaki and Vaasudeva, even his father Ugersen. Kamsa closed the couple and killed Devaki and Vaasudev's children respectively on the day they were born by hitting them on a rock. In return, Kansa's six sons were mercilessly killed year after year. Devaki is currently pregnant with her seventh child. Lord Vishnu summoned the goddess Mahamaya and asked her to transfer the seventh child from Devaki's womb to Rohini's womb. Rohini was Vaasudeva's first wife. Mahamaya did so and placed Vaasudeva's seventh child in Rohini's lap, who lived with Yasodha and Nanda Raj in Gokul. Nand Raj is Vaasudeva's son-in-law. The seventh child was Balram, who was very brave and healthy. A year later, Devaki gave birth to eight children in her womb. She gave birth to Krishna at midnight Ashtami (a day according to the Hindu calendar, this day is celebrated as Janamashtami). Every attempt by Kansa to kill Krishna failed. Later, Krishna caught Kansa and made him rely on his bad deeds, killed innocent children, imprisoned Devaki and Vaasudeva, imprisoned his own father Raja Ugersen, and did all injustice to Mathura people after making him breathe and pull your hair. Krishna cut off the head of Kansas with Sudarshan Chakra.
