dynasty and his death:
The war of Kurukshetra led to the death of 100 sons of Queen Gandhari. After their death, when
Krishna approached Gandhari for showing condolences, she revengefully cursed him that he and his
Yadu dynasty would expire in next 36 years. Lord Krishna knew that the Yadavas were already
converting into an ethically depraved race, therefore, he remained calm till her declaration.
3. Lord Krishna’s 16,108 wives:
This may be a most unique and unknown fact about Lord Krishna that he had total 16,108 wives
and 8 of them were considered as his principal wives also referred as “Ashtabharya”. The names of
8 wives of Lord Krishna were Rukmini, Jambavati, Mitravinda, Satyabhama, Nagnajiti, Bhadra,
Kalindi, and Lakshmana and each wife gave Lord Krishna 10 sons. Lord Krishna freed 16,100
women from the control of an evil spirit Narakasura who had kept all women forcibly. When all
those 16,100 women returned to their families, none of their families agreed to accept them back.
This is the reason why Lord Krishna married them. He just married them to protect their honour
and never had relations with any of them.

The good looks of Krishna are the matter of myths. Also, the pictures and idols of Lord Krishna are
painted as blue, but in actual, his skin colour was darker. It is the belief of the spiritualists that his
