Lord Krishnan Character Analysis

Lord Krishna the great Avatar- the Self Realized being who has attained the status of Brahman- the most important character in Bhagavad Geetha Lord Krishna was born in a prison as the son of Devaki, the cousin of King Kamsa and Vasudeva who belonged to the Vrishsni clan of Yadu dynasty. Kamsa imprisoned Devaki and her husband Vasudeva as soon as they got married, as a voice from the Space told him that the eighth child of Devaki would kill him.
