Sacred Journey
Explore the divine life stages of Lord Krishna. From His advent in Mathura to His pastimes in Vrindavan and beyond, each stage reveals a unique facet of the Supreme.
Birth & Arrival
Divine Descent
The Divine Descent is when Lord Krishna comes into the world. He is born to Devaki and Vasudeva in a prison in Mathura. Vasudeva carries the baby across the Yamuna to the village of Gokul. There Krishna grows up with Nanda and Yashoda. Many miracles happen and people find hope.
The Protected Child
Infant Leelas
These are the sweet stories of baby Krishna in Gokul. He played, ate butter, and smiled. Demons came to harm Him, but love and God's power kept Him safe. The stories teach trust, courage, and simple devotion.
The Playful Cowherd Child
Bal Leela
Bal Leela is the name for Krishna's childhood pastimes in Vrindavan. As a little boy he plays with calves and friends, steals butter with a smile, and shows love through simple acts. He also protects the people and cows and teaches devotion through his play.
Protector of Vraja
Gopal
Gopal is Krishna as the loving protector of the cows, people, and land of Vraja. He lifts Govardhan Hill to shelter everyone and subdues the serpent Kaliya to cleanse the Yamuna. He teaches trust, courage, mercy, and care for nature.
The Enchanter
Muralidhara
When Krishna lifts his flute, the world listens. The soft music draws hearts away from worry and toward love for God. This life stage shows how gentle attraction leads a soul to simple surrender and joyful devotion.
Sacred Love and Divine Play
Radha–Krishna
Radha and Krishna show the highest loving bond between the soul and God. Their pastimes teach simple, pure devotion, joy, longing, and selfless giving.
The Pain of Growth
Departure from Vrindavan
Krishna leaves Vrindavan to take up new duty. The village is full of sorrow. This leaving teaches love, duty, and how separation can make the heart deeper and more devoted.
The Warrior Awakens
Mathura & Kamsa Vadha
Krishna goes to Mathura with Balarama. He faces Kamsa's tricks, overcomes the king and his champions, frees His parents Devaki and Vasudeva, and restores the rightful king. This stage shows Krishna as a loving son and a protector of truth.
The Golden City and the King
Dwaraka
Dwaraka is the time when Krishna becomes a king and protector. He builds a safe city by the sea, cares for his people, and shows how to live with duty and love in the world.
The Divine Friend
Mitra & Sakha
Krishna as Mitra (friend) and Sakha (close companion). He listens, comforts, guides, and helps with gentle love. This stage shows that God can be close like a true friend.
The Cosmic Teacher
Yogeshwara
On the field of Kurukshetra, Krishna becomes Yogeshwara, the Lord of Yoga. He speaks the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna, shows his universal form, and teaches simple ways to live with duty, wisdom, and love.
End of the Yadavas
The Silent Witness
Krishna watches the fall of his clan with calm love. He accepts the law of karma and shows how to be a peaceful witness.
