His father, Devsharavu was the adopted son of the king of hunters, Nishada Vyatraja Hiranyadhanus. After Eklavya sacrificed his right thumb, his thirst to prove himself as the greatest archer grew and he taught himself to be ambidexterous. It is also said that Lord Krishna killed Eklavya. Eklavya is reincarnated as Dhrishtadyumna who stepped out of the yajna fire, created for the sole purpose of killing Dronacharya. After Dronacharya makes Eklavya cut off his right thumb, Lord Krishna grants him a boon to be reincarnated so as to seek revenge on him. Eklavya was Krishna's cousin, but was slain by him.Įklavya, the skilled archer was the son of Devsharavu who was Vasudev's brother (Vasudev was Krishna's father). Kunti, the mother of the Pandavas was actually Vasudev's sister. Krishna blew his conch to signal the start of the battle of Kurukshetra and at the end to symbolise the victory of dharma (righteousness). Krishna's conch named Panchjanya had powerful reverberations all over the world when blown. Krishna blowing on his conch, Panchjanya, was the war cry for the Pandavas in Kurukshetra. Thus, Krishna and Balarama succeeded in restoring their Guru's son.Ħ. Balaram and Krishna travelled to the spot where they learnt that their Guru's son had been trapped by a demon who lived inside a conch named Panchajanya which they subsequently took to Yama (God of Death) and asked him to restore the boy. Guru Sandipani Muni asked them to restore his dead son who had disappeared in an ocean near Prabhasa. Krishna brought his Guru Sandipani Muni's dead son back to life.Īfter completing their education under Guru Sandipani Muni, Krishna and Balarama asked their Guru what he wanted as Guru Dakshina ( fee for imparting knowledge). Spiritualists believe that his all-inclusive, magnetic aura had blue hues and so he is generally depicted as being blue in colour.

Krishna's good looks are the matter of folklore, but though commonly depicted in paintings and idols as blue, his skin colour was actually dark. Krishna's skin colour was dark, not blue. Krishna already felt that the Yadavas were already transforming into a morally decadent race and should perish and so he calmly said "Tathastu" (So be it) at the end of her declaration.Ĥ. When Krishna approached her to pay his condolences, the grieving mother spitefully cursed him that he along with the Yadu dynasty would perish in 36 years. The Kurukshetra war left all 100 of Gandhari's sons dead. Krishna was cursed by Queen Gandhari, which led to his death and the destruction of his dynasty. However, it is said that he never had any relations with them. However, they all returned to Lord Krishna as none of their families were ready to accept them back and so he married them all to protect their honour. He rescued 16,100 women from the clutches of a demon Narakasura who had forcibly kept them in captivity in his palace and freed them. Lord Krishna had 16,108 wives in total, out of which eight were his principal wives known as 'Ashtabharya' namely Rukmini, Satyabhama, Jambavati, Nagnajiti, Kalindi, Mitravinda, Bhadra, Lakshmana who bore him 10 sons each. Lord Krishna is said to have 108 names among which the famous ones are Gopal, Govind, Devakinandan, Mohan, Shyam, Ghanshyam, Hari, Girdhari, Baanke Bihari to name a few. Here are some things about the legendary mythological character that most people probably don't know. We usually remember the 8th avatar of Vishnu as the cute little butter thief, or as the charioteer guide of Arjun in Mahabharat, who helped the warrior find his path in the midst of battle. I mean, one of his many names was 'Mohan', which literally means 'bewitching' and 'a charmer'. Krishna was clearly 'the dude' of his time.
