krishna and kalia
kaliya was a dreaded , many hooded poisonous serpent who used to live on the banks of Ramanaka dwipa.he was driven away from there by the fear of Garuda the Mount of Lord Vishnu and the arch enemy of the serpents.

Many year ago, Garuda had been cursed by a sage that he would meet his death in vrindavan.kaliya knew this so he chose the bank of yamuna near vrindavan as his home moving there with his family.

kalia was so venomous that the waters of yamuna bubbled and churned with his poison and turned black.no one in vrindavan dared to visit that part of the river or even go near the river bank.

one day Krishna and his friends were playing bol near the banks of the yamuna river. Krishna who was the form of Lord Vishnu, slowly Drew his friends closer to the part of the river where kaliya resided . suddenly the boy landed in the water.

Krishna jump in after the ball. his friends called after him warning him of the dreadful serpent.

Krishna ignored their cries and dived up into the river to retrieve the ball.everyone from the village rushed to the river bank but no one dared to go in after Krishna.

meanwhile underwater kaliya attack Krishna he attempt to dig his Fans into Krishna but Krishna was too fast for him he filled the water with his the venom but Krishna dispear the venom with one stroke of his hand then wrapped his body around Krishna and drag him deeper into the river attempting to crush him deeper but krishna grew his body so huge that kaliya had to releasing him .


soo kalia started to tire. Krishna then grabbed the serpent's tail and dragged him to the river surface he then assumed the weight of the whole universe in his feet and playing the flute with one hand started dancing on the serpent's head all the while not releasing his hold on the serpent's tail.

kalia started vomiting venom and blood and started dying seeing this Khali as many wives come to Krishna begging for the life of their husband.

kaliya himself show the error of his ways and realised that Krishna was no ordinary child but and an incarnation of Lord Vishnu himself.

he begged for forgiveness and promised never to torment anyone ever again .

Krishna forgive him with a warming and told him to go back to Ramanaka dvipa along with his family and never come back to brindavana again.

The story of Krishna and kaliya is told in chapter 16 on the tenth conto of the bhagavata purana.
