- hen the earth and Devas had pleaded to Sri Hari Narayan to slay Kamsa and other Asuras, the Lord had plucked out his black hair and said this black hair will be born as Krishna on the earth. But during the time of Devaki getting pregnant for the eighth time, the scriptures say that with the desire of welfare of the three worlds, Bhagavan Sri Vishnu entered the womb of Devaki. This fact reinforces the idea that there is no difference between Bhagvana and his parts. Vedanta Sutras reveal that Brahman is without a part, so if Bhagavan has no part, that means each part is a 'whole' itself. Thus, this little incident establishes the truth of Vedanta wonderfully.
- The six embryos were none other than the six sons of Kalanemi, brother of Hiranyakashipu,who were planted by Yogamaya (on the order of Vishnu) in the womb of Devaki. They were devoted towards Vishnu in their past lives but Hiranyakashipu, who was against the Lord, had cursed these boys to be killed by their own father, since they weren't abandoning Hari-bhakti. Now, those same six boys were born from Devaki and killed by Kamsa the next instant, who was none other than Kalanemi reborn. Thus, the curse got fulfilled and Vishnu ensured that his devotees live momentarily in this Mrityu-loka, and come back to him quickly without any sufferings.
- Yogamaya and Vishnu had entered the wombs of Yashoda and Devaki respectively at the same time. While Krishna was born on Ashtami of Bhadrapada month, Krishnā (Yogamaya) was born on Navami of the same month.
- Vasudeva had not gone to Gokul for exchanging the babies. The moment Vasudeva had crossed the Yamuna carrying Krishna in the basket, he had spotted Nanda and others staying in a temporary shelter on the banks of Yamuna. They had actually come to Mathura to pay taxes to Kamsa. So Vasudeva quickly exchanged the babies in Mathura itself.
- When Kamsa had slashed the baby girl of Yashoda against the rock, she flew and stationed herself in the sky to reveal her Jagadambika-Swaroop. After warning Kamsa, she went to Indra's abode and was honoured there as his sister. And from there, she went to reside on Vindhyachal mountain as Devi Nandā (daughter of Nanda) to slay the Asuras Sumbha and Nisumbha in future.
- It is also a common misconception that Vasudeva and Devaki stayed in the prison till Krishna came to kill Kamsa. No. When Kamsa was terrified by Yogamaya's warning, he himself came and apologized to her sister and brother-in-law. Kamsa had bowed down and touched the feet of Devaki and said "Oh Devaki! I bow down in front of you as a son and seek your forgiveness”. Thus, Devaki had forgiven her, considering it all as destiny and both of them were freed.
- After getting freed, Vasudeva had again visited Nanda who was staying on the banks of Yamuna and urged him to quickly go back to his residence else Kamsa will issue order to kill his son. Thus advised, Nanda returned to Gokul along with his peoples, who were dancing in joy at the birth of Krishna. Nanda and Yashoda were very old by the time Krishna had become their son, and not like youngsters as portrayed in TV serials.
- Sage Garga had performed the post birth rituals and the naming ceremony of Krishna, and Ram.
- When Krishna was eating mud in open, Yashoda had screamed at him. It is said that the one whose one glance can burn whole universe, was scared to open his mouth due to the angry glace of his mother. Such beautiful is the Vatsalya-Rasa, that establishes in the presence of Krishna. Episodes like these reinforces the idea that God is forever subservient to his devotees.
- When the Giri-Yajna was arranged by the peoples of Vraja, contrary to the popular notions, heaps of animal meat were prepared to offer in the Yajna, along with rice, milk and sweets. And it was Krishna himself who had appeared in the form of Govardhana and accepted all the offerings. At the same time, the original Krishna had worshipped himself as Govardhana. Govardhana had asked to all to worship him henceforth in the form of cows and gave the boon that Vrajabhoomi will never run out of cows.
- When Indra had apologized Krishna for his mistake, he had done his abhishekam and named him as Govinda, the sole benefactor of the cows. It was then that Indra had made Krishna promised that he'll forever support and protect Arjuna in future, who was his partial expansion. Krishna had promised Indra to do so.
- Vishnu Purana doesn't says Krishna was a flautist, but it says that Krishna was a wonderful singer. Same goes with Harivamsa. His songs would attract everyone and make them lost in another world. However, the idea of flute is introduced in Bhagvatam.
