Shri Krishna - Part five - Putana


So Krishna started growing up with his brother Balaram and other kids near there. On the other hand his own uncle Kansa was desperate to kill his nephew. At first he thought he is just a small kid and anyone can go and kill him. He appointed Demoness Putana to kill her. She said she can easily kill him by just breastfeeding poison. She filled her breast with poison. Before this, she had killed many babies in the similar manner, so she was confident about it. She transformed herself into a beautiful lady and went to Nanda's house.

Here in Gokul, still people used to visit Nanda's house to see his child. They used to feel as if they have visited God in temple. So People in Nanda's house always allowed to see the child. Common people, saints, yogis and many such people used to come and bless the child. So it was becoming a daily routine for them. At the same time Putana came to Gokul and visited Nanda's house. As she entered, Rohini and Yashoda came forward to greet her. She was made to seat on beautiful chair. Looking at her beauty everyone were mesmerized. She said, I am wife of Renowned astrologer from some village. He said, their is a great child born in Nanda's house in Gokul. Just visit their house, meet the child, and for his great future and good health and protection from demons, you need to breastfeed him. Nanda was not at house at that very moment. At first Yashoda hesitated, but Putana convinced her that, this is for her son's benefit. Finally Yashoda allowed to do so. She sent her to a room, where she used to breastfeed his son. Putana and Krishna moved in that room and room was closed. She started breastfeeding him and Krishna showed his trick. He started sucking her blood instead of poison. At first she didn't realized it, she was happy, dreaming that she has done her job, now Kansa will favour her and give her some great prize. But after sometime, she started feeling uneasy. She started having pain in her whole body. She screamed like hell and transformed herself in her real form and started running out of house.

Everyone were shocked to see this. Yashoda fainted and Rohini was confused to look at Yashoda or rescue Krishna. In meantime, Nanda came there. He saw the whole situation, and called the villagers to kill Putana. She started running for her life and Krishna was still sucking her blood and was not leaving her. Finally at a big ground, she came into her whole form and finally died. Some villagers went near her, checked if she is died and rescued Krishna from her. The baby was completely fine. Yashoda was crying like hell. But everybody assured her that her son is absolutely fine. He was playing as if nothing happened. The fear in everybody's heart was replaced by happiness and smile on their face. Doctors (Vaidya as they say) were called to check whether baby had any reaction of poison in his body. But they said, he is absolutely fine and poison has not even touched his body. Everybody was surprised at this fact. Krishna started his series of killing demons from his childhood. Kansa was horrified hearing this news. What kind of child he is?
