Reading notes: Epified Krishna Part a

Epified Krishna


Do the gods ever expect people to not try and kill their prophesied killers. This seems to usually just result in revenge plots that bring about the prophecy that they tried to prevent. I guess in this way, the gods could just choose who they wanted to kill by giving them a prophesy...

i wonder if the story of the teleporting baby was just some ladies excuse for being pregnant outside of wedlock? It's interesting to think how the story tellers came up with these stories.

The gods definitely cheated with the whole, letting her eighth child be a god thing. They really wanted the king dead.

The story of how he escapes with his god son reminds me a lot of the christian story of how Paul escaped from his prison later in the new testament.

He keeps his poor cousin in prison even after she had given birth? that sucks.

I like how baby Krishna just steals all of the demon ladies powers by breast milk. It is kinda absurd but also kinda makes sense?

It is hilarious how they decided to make Krishna  rowdy child. like he knows the world's rules didn't apply to him.

She just saw everything in his mouth? This is bizarre, but also kinda great...

So Krishna scared a snake demon away with his music?!? This story keeps getting better.

And He choked a tornado? I joke, but seriously these stories have elements that seem insane and how in the world did someone make them up, but it all kinda works together.
