Reading Notes: Epified: Krishna, Part A

All of Krishna's enemies and loved ones did not know that Krishna was not part of their world, but instead they were part of his world. Krishna was a king and a god. Kamsa was Krishna's evil uncle and Kamsa was foretold that Kamsa's sister and brother-in-law (Krishna's parents) eight child would kill him. Kamsa was furious so he threw Krishna's parents into jail instead of killing them. When Krishna was born, he was the eighth incarnation of the god Vishnu. Before Kamsa could take Krishna and kill him, Vasudev took his soon to the Yamuna River. A large and majestic serpent appeared and took Vasudev and Krishna under its protection as Vasudev walked the river. Once Vasudev reached the other bank, he reached the cowheard people and knew this was where he must leave his son.
