Here’s a brief story of Lord Krishna’s birth in 10 key points:

1. Divine Prophecy: The king of the evil demons, Kamsa, learned from a prophecy that the eighth child born to his sister, Devaki, would kill him.

2. Devaki and Vasudeva: Devaki, the daughter of King Ugrasena, married King Vasudeva. On their wedding day, Kamsa, her brother, imprisoned them in fear of the prophecy.

3. Seven Children Killed: Kamsa killed the first six children Devaki gave birth to, but the seventh child, Balarama, was miraculously transferred to the womb of Rohini, another wife of Vasudeva.

4. The Birth of Krishna: On the night of Krishna’s birth, the prison was filled with divine light, and Devaki gave birth to a baby boy, Krishna.

5. Vasudeva’s Escape: To protect Krishna from Kamsa, Vasudeva was instructed by the god Vishnu in a dream to take the newborn to Gokul, where Nanda and Yashoda lived.

6. The Yamuna River: As Vasudeva carried Krishna across the river Yamuna, the waters parted, and the river became calm to ensure safe passage.

7. Nanda and Yashoda: Upon reaching Gokul, Vasudeva exchanged Krishna with the newborn daughter of Yashoda and Nanda. The couple were unaware of the divine child they had received.

8. Kamsa's Attempt to Kill Krishna: Kamsa, unaware of the exchange, tried to kill Krishna by throwing him against a stone. Krishna, even as a baby, effortlessly escaped and showed divine powers.

9. Miracle of Krishna: Krishna was said to have performed many miraculous feats, like lifting the Govardhan Hill to protect the villagers from torrential rains, demonstrating his divine nature.

10. Krishna's Life of Miracles and Teachings: Krishna’s childhood and youth are filled with stories of his divine miracles, his role as a friend, protector, and guide to his devotees, culminating in the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita.

Krishna's birth and life are celebrated in various festivals, especially Janmashtami, the festival marking his birth.
