Krishna was in the hit list right from day one of His life centering Mahabharata age. His maternal uncle Kansa had a tattered psyche on and from the day he dreamt a very unwelcome dream: that the eighth baby of Kansa’s sister (Debaki-Basudev couple), if a boy would kill him. Kansa put the couple in the prison so that the killing of the new born posed no problem. As the apprehension of Krishna leaked there was a preplanned baby transfer in which a girl took Krishnas position. That paved the way of Krishnas escape where after He found in Yosada and Nandagope his surrogate parents in Gokul a village of India originally inhabited by milkmen who later heard of a solacing legend : The One (Krishna) who will kill you Kansa is shaping up well in Gokul.

Deductions if any is left to the reader to another atypical story in human history: King Pharaoh  the mighty Egyptian Emperor found Israelis as totally unacceptable to him. So he enacted: a law  any Israeli new-born would be strangled and thrown into the river Nile vile though it was not. A little baby boy who was destined to be ‘Moses’ found in Jochebed a woman as his host who in three months time made a cradle of papyrus for the baby and floated into the flowing Nile. King Pharaohs daughter the Princess of Egypt was moved by the sorry plight of the boy the would be Moses whose watchful sister got better of the Princess and pleaded for a nurse for the boy. This nurse was none other than Jochebed. The boy was christened Moses since he was saved from the water. He grew up in the palace of King Pharash and turned into a health pioneer friend of the poor law-giver of the Jews and that very precious one who was the harbinger of the commandments from the mountain. It was he who broke the tables of the covenants and prayed at the tabernacle and viewed the Promised Land and ushered in the Old Testament Genesis Exodus Leritieus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.

Krishna the First born of the universe wasnt chary to be born and reborn to redeem the world in all its spheres. Later He was in the hit list of Kansa for no less than thirteen occasions. Seven times in Brajalila Braja being near Gokul five times in Mathuralila Mathura the birth place of Krishna and capital of Kansa and after Kansas death his father in law got the gem. That was not the end of the hit list.

With rare most patience and wisdom Krishna successfully rejuvenated the erstwhile dejected Arjuna to take on the Kurus the sworn enemy in the great and symbolical historical battle of Kurukhsetra. As the friend philosopher and guide of Arjuna the front ranking one Krishna saw him spearheading the battle with tacit understanding and actively participated as the charioteer the best ever all digital performer in A-Z of human history. In spite of the direct exposure to the heightened war Krishna remained unscathed. Needless to say that this kind of strategy could not be seen successfully through unless Krishna was the providential factor for all not excluding Himself. The drop scene of His life was in the hands of an innocent hunter who hit the bulls eye arrow passed through Krishna’s body when in a profound meditative stance in the deep woods. None knew as to why a permanently Supreme Active Yogi like Krishna needed renewal of mystic kinghood. He was said to have confided to Radha His platonic lady love that He was going through the meditative cleansing after a hectic life in flesh and blood. He contended that in the manner the clean most water from the mountain-tops gets contaminated while rolling down to the meadows and rivers He too by his physical and mental warfare got worse. The remedy lay in being His original Self through His customary meditation.
