When is Janmashtami in 2022: History

Lord Krishna was born in the Bhadrapada month in Mathura. He was Devaki and Vasudeva’s son.

When Lord Krishna was born, Mathura was ruled by his uncle Kansa.

Kansa wanted to kill his sister’s children as a prophecy said that the couple’s eighth son would cause Kansa’s downfall.

After listening to the prophecy, Kansa imprisoned Devaki and Vasudeva and killed their first six children soon after they were born.

The seventh fetus of Devaki was transferred from Devaki’s womb to Princess Rohini’s.

When their eighth child, Lord Krishna, was born, the entire palace went into slumber and Vasudeva rescued the baby to Nand Baba and Yashodha’s house in Vrindavan.

After making the exchange, Vasudeva returned to the palace with a baby girl and handed her to Kansa. When the evil king tried to kill her, she transformed into Goddess Durga, who warned him about his impending doom.
