Krishna is one of the incarnations of Lord Vishnu and is one of the most revered Hindu gods. Lord Krishna born is the embodiment of love and divine joy is the destroyer of all pain, sin and suffering.

Krishna was born in the human form as one of the children of Devaki, sister of the cruel and harsh demon king Kamsa. The sage Narada had predicted that Kamsa would be killed by his nephew, so the king killed Devaki´s first six children. The 7th, Balarama escaped and the 8th, Krishna, was secretly exchanged for a cowherder's daughter.

Krishna was brought up in a cowherder's family. As a child, Krishna had great love for his foster-mother Yashoda.

Krishna loved to play the flute and seduce the cow girls, the favorite being Radha who was 12 years older than him.

After Krishna killed Kamsa, he became king of Dwaraka. In the great Mahabaratha epic, Krishna spoke memorable words on the essence one's duties and devotion. This teaching is known as Bhagavad Gita
