 Father of all becomes the Son

Even though He is the father of everyone since He created all of us including Lord Brhma, He selected Vasudevar as His father and called Vasudevar as “father” after incarnating as Lord Krishna. This is His third leelai.

When the Devas approached the Lord for help, it is said that the Lord placed 2 keshams one black & the other white in Devaki’s womb. He stated that the white kesham will be Balarama & the black Himself as Lord Krishna. Kesham is commonly interpreted as hair but in this context Kesham does not mean hair. The Lord is described as a youth and He doesn’t have grey hair. The word “Kam” has many meanings. It means the atma, bliss, Brhmam as well as water. If we examine the meaning of Kam as atma we know that an atma has kniowledge and is always happy. It is Gnanandamayam. The atma’s tejas (aura or radiation or effulgence) is known as Klesham. Thus the Lord placed white radiation in Devaki to become Balarama & Bluish black radiation to become Lord Krishna.

Kamsa Exposed

King Devakan was the younger brother of King Ugrasenar. Devaki Piratti was the eighth daughter of King Devakan. She married Vasudevar. Her seven sisters had also married Vasudevar. Kamsan was the son of King Ugrasenar. He offered to drive Devaki & Vasudevar’s chariot to their new home. It was during this wedding procession that Kamsa heard the celestial voice declare that Devaki’s eight child will kill Kamsa. What was the need to reveal this information to Kamsa? This was once again the Lord’s leelai to expose the evil minded Kamsa to the people, Devaki & Vasudevar.

The moment Kamsa caught hold of Devaki’s hair and was ready to kill her, Vasudevar could have abandoned her since he already had seven wives. Instead Vasudevar stood by Devaki in order to protect her as it is the duty of a husband to protect his wife. Vasudevar did not have any weapons with him and therefore he reasoned with Kamsa. Kamsan is an Asuran and he is impulsive. Yet Kamsan did not kill Devaki immediately but stood listening to the arguments made by Vasudevar. The Lord’s leela made Kamsan pay attention to Vasudevar’s words. Kamsan agreed to spare Devaki and placed the couple together in a mansion. Kamsan could have kept them under arrest at separate location as then he could have prevented the birth of children but instead he placed them together in the same place. This again is the Lord’s leela.
