The birth of Krishna is a mystery that is hard to explain. There are many theories that have been proposed to explain the mystery of Krishna's birth, his life, his childhood, his youth, and his older years. Many of these theories are based on the religious scriptures of Hinduism, which state that Krishna was the eighth and last avatar of the god Vishnu. Still other theories are based on the facts and history of India and the ancient world.

Regardless of what the origin is, what is known is that Krishna was born on an Indian peninsula in the river Yamuna. His mother was a river goddess named Vaayu and his father was a mighty hero named Vasudeva. His childhood was spent in Mathura, a city in the Indian kingdom of Mathur.

In the year 1000 B.C., when Krishna was 12 years old, his mother took him to the city of Vrindavan, which is considered to be the place of his birth. It is also the place where Krishna is believed to have performed many miracles and to have had many divine births.
