Story of Krishna Janmashtami

Centuries ago, there was widespread evil in the small town of Mathura. Lord Krishna
was born to Vasudev and Devaki, to kill the evil Kansa according to a prophecy.
Kamsa, who had wrongfully ascended the throne, imprisoned Vasudeva known and
Devaki knowing that he would be murdered by their child. Therefore, one after the
other, their new-born was killed off. Krishna was the eighth son. And during his
birth, Vasudev manage to sneak successfully out of the prison and crossed the
Yamuna and finally reached Gokul. There he exchanged his baby with that of
Nanda's and left for Mathura and locked himself in a cell. When Kamsa went to kill
the baby, she slipped out of his hand and told him that he will meet his death at the
hand of Krishna and called Kamsa a foolish man while rejoicing about his fate. She
was none other than the holy river Yamuna.
