 Krishna, Epified TV(India) 2015


A boy had enemies before his birth, they tried to prevent his birth with all of the power they had. They sent death to him every chance they got, but he survived and grew up to become a king. He made powerful allies, and became a friend to those in need. He became an enemy to those who sought to harm his family.  No one understood that he was not a part of their world, they were a part of his world. The birth of the Pandavas brought upon the story of Krishna. 

The same day that Arjuna was born, another birth took place. Vishnu was coming to earth as the eighth child, the evil king had killed the other children. They knew that word had reached the king, and he would come soon to kill the child like he had with the other 7. Vasudev held his son and knew that he was divine, the gate to his cell was unlocked and the guards were fast asleep. He realized that nothing moved in the town, except for him. He went to meet Yamuna, the serpent protected him and his son from the torrential rain. He abandoned his son and took a daughter, Maya, instead. 

The evil king had a dream that ruin would happen to him, he reached the cell and saw that the child in his arms was a girl. He realized he would not be killed to a woman, he held in his hand the secret of immortality. He was about to smash the child, and it did not fall. It rose and a bright light appeared in the cell. Durga took her form and spoke to Kamsa, she told him that his slayer had already been born. When the time comes he will die, and then she left. 

The evil king slaughtered hundreds of newborn babies in case they were the child that would one day harm him. In the night, the evil demoness stole Krishna and decided to kill him by poisoning him. The child fed not only on her breast milk, but also her power. She died that night due to Krishna. Krishna had a notorious reputation as a mischievous child. 

When Krishna opened his mouth, his mother saw the whole universe inside. She came to terms with the fact that her son was not just her child. Krishna got interested in music and began playing the flute, he played almost as if he had always known music. Krishna noticed his friends had been poisoned and demanded their revival. Krishna danced on the snake, he could not take anymore and so he disappeared and the lake was removed of its poison. 

Krishna's enemies continued to send demons to him in attempts to get him away and kill him. Krishna had his eyes on a beautiful hearted woman. They had devotion toward each other where they became one soul.
