Idham Bhagavatham Nama Puranam Bhramasammitham | Bhakthi Gnana  Viraganam Sthapanaya Prakashitham || Yashcha Bhagavatham Shasthram Vachayeth Dharshathoanisham | Janmakoti Kritham Papam Nashyathe Na Athra Samshaya: ||

The Supreme Lord Krishna was born as the son of Devi Devaki and Vasudeva, in the same night of his birth,  he had to be with the adopted parents Devi Yashomathi and Nandababa, he had never complained about his life.   He had to leave the Gokul where he was brought on the first night of birth, he encountered Poothana and various demons had to leave the village in a one fine day, he was not unhappy.  He happily lived in Vrindavan, grazing goats and cows, playing numerous passionate sports with the cowherds and beautiful young maiden of cowherds who vested their lives in supreme Lord Krishna.  He elevated the souls of cowherds and young maiden with the supreme knowledge of the oneness of the soul and spreading extreme happiness to them.  He performed ‘Maharas’  with the beautiful women of cowherds when they believed the little Krishna is all over their beauty, he disappeared, later they regretted over their foolishness, once again he appeared before them and made them happy.   In this way, he proved to them that he is dispassionate and has no attachment to anyone.  All of a sudden he had to move to Mathura with Akroora to encounter his wicked uncle Kamsa.    He killed the haughty wrestlers, Mushtika and Chanoora, and the elephant Kuvalayapeedam, ultimately his uncle Kamsa.   He lived with parents Devi Devaki and Vasudeva and went to learn under the guidance of Maharishi Sandheepani, shortly he had to flee to Dwaraka where he lived with sixteen thousand and eight wives and had several children, finally he had to witness the destruction of his own clan before his eyes, he was neither distressed nor attached or had no expectations. 

The intellectuals and liberated souls who consider all the happenings in life with a balanced state of mind, be it sorrow or happiness receive them as the grace of supreme Lord, they never keep any expectation or attachment from people or material matters.  The supreme Lord lived a hundred and twenty-five years on the Earth, during this period he prompted his devotees to constantly engage in Karma, performing duties and responsibilities without expecting its fruitful results. The human intellect and mind have endless capabilities to excel in all fields of knowledge. The Supreme Lord Krishna proved it by learning sixty-four types of art forms within sixty-four days; he excelled in all fields of knowledge.  He proved as an exceptional charioteer to Arjun, he proved himself as an ideal husband to sixteen thousand and eight wives.   Maharishi Narada surprised to witness the presence of the Supreme Lord Krishna and his services to all these sixteen thousand and eight wives in their homes. Before leaving this Earth, he gives the nectar-like advice to Udhdhava and Rishi Maitreya, and even the hunter who feels extremely guilty of his mistake was pacified and elevated his soul.
