Baby Krishna

Hindu God Krishna(baby)

Krishna was born into the Mathura family, one of the richest families at the time. He was the eighth child born to King and Queen Mathura and seemed to be the most wickedest. One day, a horrible crime was commited. Krishna's brothers and sisters were all killed by the evil devil. The devil than threw his parents into prison and Krishna was left to fend for himself. Due to the kindness of a stranger, he feared for Krishna's life and sent him away. He was later found by Yashoda, who became his step mother and took him in as her own.

Krishna was very wicked though. He would steal and was full of mischief. Some might believe that he was the type to steal gold and rubies, but he wasn't. Instead, him and his step brother preffered to break into the neighbors homes and steal butter! They would sneak into the kitchen while the women were out hanging their clothes on the line and would eat all the butter out of the pots. Everyday the neighbors would complain to his mother and he would get scolded and wouldn't get to play his prized flute. No matter how much he got scolded, he would not grow out of his childish ways and his mother could not handle it anymore.

She called upon a great pundit and he told her that her son was indeed one of the Gods. Yashoda found it ridiculous and thought the pandit was just after her money. He warned her many times, but she still did not believe him. One day, Yashoda recieved another complaint about Krishna stealing butter again, and she secretly went to the house to catch him red handed. As she entered the house, she saw him devouring the butter from the pots. She caught his hand and asked him to open his mouth. At first he refused, but after persuading him, he finally did. When he did though, Yashoda was shocked at what she saw. In his mouth there was the Universe. It was indeed true that Krishna was a God and there were many more interesting events to come.................
