When Krishna cried for the first time. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Krishna cried for the first time shortly after his birth. The story goes that when Krishna was born in the prison cell of his parents, Devaki and Vasudeva, there were many auspicious signs in the heavens and the earth. The demigods were overjoyed at the birth of the divine child, and they showered flowers and offered their blessings.
However, at that very moment, a wicked demon named Kamsa, who was Devaki’s brother, entered the cell and tried to kill the newborn baby. He had been told by a prophecy that Devaki’s eighth child would be his killer, and he was determined to prevent that from happening.
Kamsa grabbed the newborn baby and tried to dash him against a stone pillar, but as he did so, the baby slipped out of his grasp and took on a four-armed form. This was the first divine manifestation of the baby as Lord Vishnu, who had taken on the form of Krishna to fulfill his mission on earth.
Seeing this divine form, Kamsa was terrified and tried to grab the baby again, but the baby slipped out of his grasp once more and disappeared into the sky. The demigods and angels in the heavens were overjoyed at the sight of the baby’s divine form, but back on earth, Devaki and Vasudeva were left to wonder what had happened to their newborn child.
It was at this point that Lord Krishna cried for the first time, revealing his location to his parents. He had been taken to the nearby village of Gokul, where he would grow up under the care of his foster parents, Nanda and Yashoda. From that moment on, Krishna’s life would be filled with miraculous feats and divine exploits, as he fulfilled his mission to protect and guide humanity.
