We all heard about Mahabharata and the story of Mahabharata is incomplete without
Lord Krishna. Like his name “Krishna” which means all attractive, anyone would fall in
love with the character of lord Krishna. Krishna was one of the greatest spiritual healers
or you can say Lord Krishna is the life coach for Arjuna as Krishna was the man who
reminded Arjuna about his duties and that lessons are applicable to all for the mankind.
Though all of us have learnt these things but still there are some unknown and
interesting facts about Lord Krishna you should know.

Following are the 5 Interesting Facts about Lord
Krishna:
If you are facing any issue in your life, then you can resolve them by applying the Lord
Krishna’s teachings to your life. Here are some useful yet relevant excerpts by the great Lord
Krishna:
1. 108 names of Lord Krishna:
Lord Krishna has total 108 names, out of which, some of his popular names are Ghanshyam, Govind,
Mohan, Devakinandan, Hari, Shyam, Baanke Bihari, Vasudeva, and much more.
2. Queen Gandhari cursed Lord Krishna that led to destruction of his
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.
4. Skin colour of Krishna was dark, not blue:
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
attractive aura had blue shades; therefore, he is portrayed as blue in colour. There are many such
unknown facts about Lord Krishna that you should know about.

5. Lord Krishna gave life to Guru Sandipani Muni’s dead son:
After completing their studies under Guru Sandipani Muni, Lord Krishna and his elder brother
Balarama asked their Guru about Guru Dakshina. So, Guru Sandipani Muni replied by asking them
to bring back his dead son who had vanished in some ocean near Prabhasa. To do, Krishna and
Balarama took a trip to the spot where they got to learn that Guru’s son had been caught by a devil
inside a conch namely Panchajanya. Then, they took it to the God of Death and asked for restoring
him back to the life. This is the way; they brought him back to the life from death.
