5. Krishn's Life in Detail

This lists is those incidents of Krishn's life where He did not kill any Raakshas but helped other people -

1. Yamalaarjun -
These were the two tall trees standing very near to each other in Nand's courtyard. In fact they were two Gandharv who became trees on the Earth by a curse. They were supposed to be free from the curse when Krishn was to born and uproot them. When Yashodaa tied Krishn to an Ookhal in anger, He carried it with Him and tried to go in between those two trees. The space was less and the Okhal was big, so it got stuck between them and as Krishn applied a little force, the trees got uprooted and the two Gandharv came out from them. They prayed Krishn and went to their Lok.

2. Kaaliya Naag
Kaaliya Naag lived in Yamunaa River. He got very proud of his powers so he poisoned Yamunaa's water. Whoever drank that water, died. Many cattle died in this way. Once Krishn took His playmates towards Yamunaa's bank to play ball. His ball fell in Yamunaa's waters. Krishn jumped in the river to take out the ball in spite of children's warning that Yamunaa's water was poisonous. Krishn fought Kaaliya Naag and danced over his head. When he asked for His forgiveness, He forgave him and sent him to ocean. When Krishn asked him why was he living there, he told Him that he was afraid of Garud Jee and this place was safe from Garud Jee, that is why he was living here. Krishn said - "When Garud will see my footprint on your head, he will not eat you." Kaaliya Naag got convinced, prayed Him and left Yamunaa River for the ocean. Yamunaa's water also got clean and clear.

3. Nand Baabaa
Once Krishn brought His father Nand Baabaa back from Varun Lok

4. Govardhan Parvat
When Brij people were worshipping Indra, Krishn asked them to worship Govardhan Parvat as it was more useful than Indra. Being raged by this Indra started raining heavily in Brij. Then Krishn lifted Govardhan Parvat to shelter the Brij people from flood created by Indra. Indra rained for 7 days and 7 nights continuously, but there was no water under the Parvat. After that Indra asked for His forgiveness and took a promise that He will take care of his son Arjun who was born on the Earth.

5. Guru Dakshina -
After Krishn killed Kans, He freed Ugrasen and his parents. They crowned Ugrasen as the King of Mathuraa and Vasudev sent them to study to Saandeepan Muni's Aashram. There He learned 64 arts along with other things. After they finished their education, Guru's wife asked Him to bring her lost son back to her. He killed Shankhaasur Daitya, brought his body which was in the form of a Shankh (conch shell) with Him, and Guru's dead son back to Guru.

6.  Vidyaadhar Python -
Kans then sent Visyaadhar pcreased His size and ripped his stomach. All came out from its stomach
