Shri Krishna Janma

Shri Krishna Janma

Synopsis : This short begins by showing a lot of villagers gathered by a riverside and invoking 'almighty god'. Soon, the child-god Krishna appears in the middle of the river, smiling and standing on the head of the demon snake Kaliya. Meanwhile, mother Yashoda is rocking baby Krishna/Kanha's crib in which he is sleeping, and sees images of the god as her Gopala or Krishna. In Mathura, Krishna's uncle King Kamsa is having nightmares and sees images of Krishna all around him. Kamsa is shown imaging his own death with his head severed. At the end, the villagers pay their obeisance to Lord Krishna, with a title-card saying: 'may this humble offering be accepted by the Lord'.
