Sri Krishna was born in a prison and his parents are Devaki and Vasudeva. At the time of his birth, his life was in danger because the Kamsa was trying to kill him. It was predicted that Kamsa would be killed by the eighth son of Devaki. Sri Krishna being the eighth child, he was smuggled from the prison to be raised by his adoptive parents, Nanda and Yasoda, in Gokula. Nanda led a simple lifestyle and was the head of the local cow pasture community. The young Sri Krishna is often described these days as a mischievous child, who loved to playing pranks and have fun. Some worship Sri Krishna as the ideal son of innocence.
However, even in his youth, he was killed by the Trinavarta and Putana demons. It is also said that he lifted a nearby hill: Govardhana to protect the villagers against Indra’s wrath.
