The Advent of Lord Krishna



Mother earth was overburdened by hundreds of thousands of military phalanxes of various conceited demons dressed like kings. She approached Lord Brahma for relief. Mother earth assumed the form of a cow. Very much distressed, with tears in her eyes, she appeared before Lord Brahma and told him about her misfortune. Thereafter Lord Brahma went with mother earth, Lord Shiva, and all the other demigods to the shore of the ocean of milk. There the demigods worshiped Lord Vishnu, the master of the universe, the supreme God of all gods, who provides for everyone and diminishes everyone's suffering. With great attention they worshiped Him by reciting the Vedic mantras known as the Purusa sukta. All asked for protection and prosperity from Lord Vishnu . Yet the same Mother that sustained all was overburdened with the wars, greed and lust.

 

While in trance, Lord Brahma heard the words of Lord Vishnu vibrating in the sky."O demigods, hear from me the order, the Supreme Person, and execute it attentively without delay." Before earth Mother submitted her petition to the Lord, He was already aware of the earth's distress and planned to descend. For as long as the Lord moves on earth to diminish its burden by His potency in the form of time, all you demigods should appear through plenary portions as sons and grandsons in the family of the Yadus. All your wives should also descend to satisfy Sri Krishna, who will appear as the son of Vasudeva.

"The first expansion of Krishna is Sankarsana, who is known as Ananta. He is the origin of all incarnations within this material world. Before the appearance of Lord Krishna, this original Sankarsana will appear as Baladeva just to please Lord Krishna by assisting Him in His transcendental pastimes."
