We are writing all this information on the advice of experts, based on scriptures, and after getting confirmation from consultants, we are disclosing it to you.

The Birthplace of Krishna

Shri Krishna appeared on the Ashtami Tithi of Krishna Paksha of Bhadrapada month. The day we all Indians celebrate with great enthusiasm in the name of janmashtami, we swing child Krishna on a swing at our home.

So, first of all, God remained in the prison of particles. He appeared in the jail of Kansa, located in Mathura.

Even today, many people come to Mathura to see the birthplace of Krishna.

So, first of all, Lord Krishna lived in Mathura.

Arrival in Gokul

Everyone knows how Vasudevji miraculously makes little Krishna cross the Yamuna River in heavy rain and keeps him in the house of King Nand in Gokul.

Krishna spent a lot of time in Gokul, but due to the attacks of Kansa, all the people of Gokul had to leave Gokul and come to Vrindavan.

From Gokul to Nandgaon, Vrindavan

In Gokul, many demons tried to kill Krishna, Putana came to kill, Shaktasur came to kill, Aghasur came, etc.

Then Krishna lived in Nandgaon, a small town of Vrindavan, from 7 to 10.

Killing of Kans in Mathura

When Shri Krishna was 11 years old, Akrur ji from Mathura went to Vrindavan to take Krishna at the request of Maharaj Kansa.

Krishna then goes to Mathura with Mahatma Akrurji, and he goes and kills Kansa.

कंस मर्दन भगवान् की जय!

Then Krishna frees Mother Devaki and Vasudev and makes his grandfather Ugrasen the king, and then he goes to Sandipani Muni’s ashram in Ujjain to study.

Study in Ujjain

Krishna and Balram came to Ujjain at the age of 16 to receive an education at Sandipani Rishi’s ashram and stayed here for a few years.

Krishna studied 64 arts and 14 sciences in the ashram of sage Sandipani.

Return to Mathura after education

After taking education from the ashram of Ujjain Sandipani Muni, Krishna and Balram returned to Mathura. They make Balramji the king, and Krishna and Balram rule there for many years.

Krishna becames Dwarikadhish

Krishna came to Dwarka from Mathura and became Dwarikadhish.

द्वारिकाधीश की जय!

Then King Jarasandha of Magadha harasses Krishna and Balram by fighting with them even after losing repeatedly then. Krishna and Balram establish their grand kingdom on the beach of Dwarkapuri with all the subjects except Mathura. They rule for years.
