Although he is the Unborn and the Eternal, yet 5300 years ago, when all the planets were auspiciously placed and the atmosphere was permeated by an unearthly serenity and purity, the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna appeared as the son of Vasudev and Devaki in the prison house of Kamsa , to deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants and to re-establish the principles of religion.
