Lord Krishna, the pious Hindu deity is probably one among the most worshiped, written about, and talked about lords. He has always preached that your life must be dedicated towards the welfare of mankind. One must always be ready to help others. We must always live in harmony, spread love, stand by each other in sorrows and in happiness and must never think twice in helping others. The entire life of lord Krishna is an inspiration of people today. People usually, on the Ashtami of Krishna Paksh or the 8th day of the dark fortnight in the month of Bhadon, celebrate Janmashtami as they believe, the 8th avatar of lord Vishnu, Krishna, was born on this day.

You might be thinking what’s new to that? Well, today we have researched and brought for you some very interesting things about Krishna, our favourite lord that we bet you never knew before. Ready? Here we go…
Krishna has a total number of 108 names. How many can you tell? Some of the popular ones are the famous ones are Gopal, Baanke Bihari, Govind, Girdhari, Devakinandan, Hari, Mohan,Ghanshyam, Shyam, etc.
Krishna had a total of 16108 wives. Such a ladies’ man he was, isn’t it? Let us tell you a story here. Krishna once rescued 16100 women who were in captivity of a demon named Narakasura. He later married all those women to protect their honour as their families refused to accept them back. The other 8 wives were Rukmini, Lakshmana, Satyabhama, Bhadra, Jambavati, Mitravinda, Kalindi and Nagnajiti who were collectively referred to as ‘Ashtabharya’.
Krishna was not blue in colour. Spiritualists consider that his comprehensive, compelling aura had blue hues and thus he is commonly depicted as being blue in colour. Rather the truth is he was not blue, but dark in colour.
Krishna was actually related to Pandavas. Shocked? But that’s the truth. Actually, the mother of Pandavas, Kunti was also Vasudev’s sisterand he was Khrishna’s father.
The popular affair of Krishna and his love interest Radha, in mordern India, was used to legitimate premarital sex. Let us help you recall here. In March, 2010, the Supreme Court arguing that argued that since Radha-Krishna lived together according to mythology, declared that premarital sex cannot be considered as an offence.
