Krishna is the most endearing and encoding character in Indian mythology. He is at once the common cowherd engaging the milk-maids in playful banter and the supreme intellectual engaged in the exposition of the Gita Philosophy.
Krishna has a particular appeal for children because he is one of them as no other divine is. Krishna the boy is mischievous, he is naughty. He is irresponsible energy for innumerable escapades. He is no prig. he is no puritan. He has divine powers. But he humanities them and remains a boy, This Powerful human element  is the secrecy of Krishna's universal popularity. He is secular even as he is sacred, and so he remains throughout his life. That is why Krishna becomes a living presence to all children who have listened to the stories about him. Throwing's his aged father into prison, Kansa occupied the throne of Mathura. Commanding a formidable army he thought he was unstoppable. The threat of his power came from an unexpected quarter - from a cowherd boy who was rumored to be his cousin Devaki's eight child, Krishna. Moreover  there was a divine prophecy that Kansa would meet his end at the hands of the eight child of Devaki..
