Main nahi chhodu re
Tosai preet joudi Krishna

Meera nai toe keh daala,
Main kya boolu mere Ram,
Is kalyug ke bhoolbhlaiya mein khoye
Mere who sawarai, sunder Shyam

Janam sai he, iss vyakkol mann mein,
Ek pyaas ajeeb samayee hai
Mein bhi banoo ek din piya ki pyaree
Yeh tujhe se duhai hai

Itna toe batla de o Bhagwan
Is bhanwar mein jo tune utaara hai
Mere Kanha ko bhi is kalyug mein
Behshaque tone kahin banaaya hai

Mann main bassi hai moore Prabhu
Meera ki he madhoor vani,
Tann mein agann jale hai morai
Radha se mai prem diwanee

Iss matwali kaari duniya mein
Morai Kaanha, tohe kahan dhoondhu mai,
Mein tori raah ektook ho dekhoo
Bus aur kuch bhi naa janoo mai

Pal bhi yeh aass nahi mitt-paatee
Ke ek din tu bhi aayeega,
Is bawari, akeli bairagan ko he
Tu saprem apni Radha banayega

Lord Krishna's Birth Story

A long time ago in ancient India, there lived King Ugrasen of Mathura. He had two children, prince Kansa and princess Devaki. While King Ugrasena was a good king and Prince Kansa was evil by nature. When Kansa grew up, he imprisoned his own father Ugrasen and made himself king.

King Vasudev was already married with Rohini. (His first wife.) Soon, Kansa’s sister Devaki was married to King Vasudev. He loved his sister so much, so he decided to become charioteer for a day. When he drove the chariot, Kansa heard a divine warning from the sky, "O King! Your sister’s eighth son will grow up to kill you." After Kansa heard this, he was afraid. Immediately he imprisoned his own sister Devaki and her husband king Vasudev, and kept them under continuous watch.

Each time Devaki gave birth to a child in the prison, Kansa arrived personally and killed the child. Seventh time when Devaki was pregnant, she apparent had a miscarriage. (Which was actually a secret transfer of the infant to Rohini.) That child is known as Balrama. When Devaki became pregnant for the eighth time, King Vasudev’s friend’s (King Nanda’s) wife Yashoda was also pregnant. The eighth child, Lord Krishna, was born to queen Devaki at midnight in the prison. As soon as the child was born. Lord Vishnu appeared in divine form and the prison was filled with a dazzling light. Both Devaki and Vasudev prayed to Lord Vishnu. At the same time as Lord Krishna was born in the prison, the divine energy of Lord Vishnu was born in Gokul, as a baby girl to queen Yashoda.

A divine message came to Vasudev soon after the birth of Lord Krishna, "Take this child across the Yamuna River to Gokul and exchange him with Yashoda’s daughter. You will return to the prison before anyone comes to know about the birth of this child."

Vasudev immediately followed the advice. As he carried the child in his arms, he found that the prison doors opened automatically and the guards were put to sleep by God. Vasudev approached the Yamuna River, which was very turbulent due to fierce winds and rain. Shesh naag arrived to protect Baby Krishna by giving shed as umbrella form rain. However, as soon as Krishna toe was touched the river Yamuna, the river parted and made way for Vasudev carrying the divine child. Vasudev reached the opposite bank of the river safely and found all the people of Gokul fast asleep. He entered the palace of king Nanda and queen Yashoda, and put the baby Krishna in the place of Yashoda’s baby girl. Then Vasudev returned to the prison with the baby girl.

As soon as Vasudev laid the baby girl by Devaki’s side, the prison doors shut automatically. The guards were now awake and were startled by the cries of the baby girl. The guards ran to Kansa and announced the birth of the eighth child.

Kansa rushed to execute the child in the prison, remembering the divine warning that the eighth child would kill him. Devaki appealed, "O Kansa, this baby is a girl, and not the boy that the divine warning told you about. How can this child harm you?" However, Kansa ignored her, snatched the child from her lap, and hurled the child against the prison wall.

The child did not fall down; instead, she flew up and appeared in the sky as a Goddess with eight arms, each arm carrying a weapon. She said, "O evil king! You will gain nothing by killing me. The one who will destroy you is elsewhere." Then the Goddess disappeared. Kansa freed Vasudev and Devaki from prison.

Meanwhile, there was great rejoicing in Gokul, hailing the birth of a son in the household of Nanda. Nanda named the child Krishna. Entire Gokul wore a festive appearance. The streets were swept clean and all the houses were decorated with flags and flowers. Cows were smeared with turmeric, and adorned with peacock feathers and garlands. All people of Gokul danced in joy and flocked to Nanda’s house to see baby Krishna and to offer gifts.

Krishna was having one sister named as Subhadra. She was daughter of King Vasudeva and Rohini, born much later than Balarama and Krishna.

Moral: The story of Lord Krishna's birth shows how powerful and loving God is. Whenever evil in the world like Kansa’s wicked rule becomes unbearable, God Himself comes to save us in the form of an Incarnation like Lord Krishna. Against God, not even the mightiest evil can do anything. Hence, daily we should pray to God and remember Him by chanting* (repeating) His Name in everything we do – be it getting ready, eating, walking, playing or going to bed.
