Krishna was born in a prison, under the watch of tyrant King Kansa. His arrival was seen as a threat to the throne

A divine prophecy foretold that Kansa’s rule would end at the hands of his sister’s eighth child sparking political paranoia

Krishna’s father, Vasudeva, carried the newborn across the Yamuna River to safety a covert act that defied the king’s orders

Historians argue Krishna’s birth was also a political uprising against tyranny, inspiring resistance and unity among the oppressed

Krishna’s life became a rallying point, blending divine purpose with the people’s desire for justice and liberation

The story of Krishna’s birth is not just myth – it’s a reminder that faith and politics have long shaped India’s destiny

While Krishna grew in Gokul, stories of his destiny spread quietly uniting people against Kansa’s oppressive rule
