Lord Krishna's birth was full of strange and mysterious happenings. It is said to take place about this time of year. There was a terrible rainstorm that night with lots of lightning and thunder. When the baby was born, his mother, Devaki was in a dungeon --a prision-- where she had been kept for many years, along with her husband Vasudeva. The reason is this: her evil brother, King Kamsa, had imprisoned them so that he could destroy this baby she was about to have. The king had heard from fortune-tellers that this son of theirs would grow up to be a great power and would dethrone him; that Krishna would be a restorer of righteousness and would spoil all of the wicked plans Kamsa had in mind for promoting his own power and glory.

Lord Krishna is great. Just as every rain drop that falls from the sky flows into the Ocean, in the same way every prayer offered to any deity flows to Lord Krishna. I bow to the Great Supreme, Lord Krishna.
