It comes near the end of the summer holidays (in August or September).<\/li>\n<li>Krishna was born in India, in a town called Mathura. He had a wicked uncle called Kamsa. Kamsa wanted to kill Krishna. Therefore, Krishna\u2019s father sent his newly-born son to Vrindavana. It was safer there. Krishna was brought up by his foster-father (Nanda). His foster mother was named Yashoda.<\/li>\n<li>Kamsa sent many demons to kill Krishna, but Krishna killed them all. He was very strong. He was very kind to good people.<\/li>\n<li>Krishna liked cows. He would look after his father\u2019s cows and calves in the forests of Vrindavan.<\/li>\n<li>Krishna used to dress very well. He had a robe the colour of sunshine. And his skin was dark blue, like a rain-cloud. He wore a peacock feather in his hair. He was very good at playing the flute (you can often see pictures of him playing one).<\/li>\n<li>When Krishna was a little older, he had many girlfriends. His favourite was called Radha. Many Hindus today pray to both Krishna and Radha.<\/li>\n<li>Later, when Krishna was grown-up, he went to Mathura. He easily killed the wicked Kamsa.<\/li>\n<li>He became a powerful king. He then built a beautiful city in the middle of the sea. It had thousands of palaces made of marble.<\/li>\n<li>Krishna made friends with the five Pandava brothers, who were princes. They were good and fair.<\/li>\n<li>They had 100 cousins who were jealous; this lead to a huge battle that lasted for eighteen days. Just before the battle, Krishna taught Arjuna the Bhagavad Gita. This is now one of the most important Hindu holy books.<\/li>\n<li>Rama and Krishna are two names for God. Hindus believe that God has different names. He also has different forms (a bit like how we dress differently on different days).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download PDF: PCT-011 Krishna Krishna was born over 5,000 years ago.
