Birth of lord krishna

Hare Krsna,

His divine grace, A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, has given explanations in several books such as the Srimad Bhagavatam, Krishna Book on the birth of Lord Krishna.I hope the quotes below will help understand although these topics are elevated topics which are difficult for ordinary human beings like us to fully understand.

From the Srimad Bhagavatam 10th Canto:

"Following the orders of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Yogamaya transferred Baladeva, Sankarsana, the seventh child of Devaki, from the womb of Devaki to the womb of Rohini. Because Sankarsana appears in

order to increase love of Krsna, He is known as Baladeva. One may take auspicious strength from Him to become a devotee of the Lord, and therefore He is also known as Balabhadra."

"By the grace of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, anyone can do anything, for the Lord is present in everything, all things being His parts and parcels (amsa-bhagena) and increasing or decreasing by His supreme will.

Balarama was only fifteen days older than Krsna. By the blessings of Krsna, Yogamaya became the daughter of mother Yasoda, but by the supreme will she was not able to enjoy the parental love of her father and mother. Krsna, however,

although not actually born from the womb of mother Yasoda, enjoyed the parental love of mother Yasoda and Nanda. By the blessings of Krsna, Yogamaya was able to achieve the reputation of being the daughter of mother Yasoda, who also became famous by the blessings of Krsna. Yasoda means "one who gives fame."

It is mentioned in the quote above that "Balarama was only fifteen days older than Krsna."

"The six children killed by Kamsa had formerly been sons of Marici, but because of having been cursed by a
brahmana, they were obliged to take birth as grandsons of Hiranyakasipu. Kamsa had taken birth as Kalanemi, and now he was obliged to kill his own sons. This was a mystery."

It seems that we can conclude that the first six sons of Devaki appeared one year after another except for Balaram and Krsna.

Hari Bol,
