Krishna and His Compassion

Devaki - sister of demon king Kansa - and Vasudevar are parents to lord Krishna.
Before the birth of Krishna, Narada predicts that Devaki's eighth child will put an end to the cruel rule of Kansa.
Hearing this he put both of them in prison and kills each of their seven children.
But Vasudevar, with the help of gods, succeed in rescuing Krishna from the prison to his friend's house in Vrindavan.
Lord Krishna grows up in Vrindavan with all the cowherds as a normal kid, under the caring of Yashoda.
Childhood Stories It is believed that Kansa had sent many evil forces to kill Krishna but all of them failed in their pursuits.
Little Krishna defeats five-headed serpent who tried to poison the river Yamuna and kill cows and people residing in Vrindavan.
Krishna jumps from Kadamba tree on to the head of Kaaliya snake and dances on his head and defeats him.
He is also known to tease milkmaids of Vrindavan and steals butter from their houses.
He would let the cows go free at the time of milking and would also hide clothes of bathing women (Gopis).
He intended to make his devotees aware of the greater meaning hidden behind these naughty activities.
He was suggesting to his devotees to detach themselves from material forms and concentrate only on god that is him.
Krishna and Radha Radha was one of the milkmaids of Vrindavan and both of them used to play together.
They are the reflection of selfless love and passion.
Their love is the sign of unity of mind, which is more important the unity of body.
Radha had devoted herself fully to Lord Krishna and considers him to be her own.
She even gets jealous of the flute Krishna plays, saying it is so fortunate to be very close to Krishna and have the feel of prana on it.
Krishna and Sudhama While in Gurukula, Sudhama was Krishna's closest friend and helper.
Their friendship has surpassed all social divide and Krishna accepted Sudhama - also known as Kuchela- wholeheartedly.
Once when Sudhama was stricken by severe poverty, he goes to Dwaraka to meet Krishna with a small pack of beaten rice, which is favorite to Lord Krishna.
When he reaches Dwaraka, he is awe-struck seeing the big palace and army of his friend.
He decides to go back, that is when Krishna sees him and calls him back.
Krishna treats his friend with love and affection.
Sudhama, embarrassed to ask for help, goes back without uttering a word about his poverty.
But the god realizes his friend's needs and helps him.
Sudhama understand the value and importance of friendship when he reaches his house and finds his family to be clad in good clothes and eating food happily.
