The Story of the Liberation of Aghasura

In the playful forests of Vrindavan, little Krishna loved spending his days with his friends—the cowherd boys—and the gentle calves. They would wander through the meadows, swim in the cool river, and play their favorite games beneath the shade of blossoming trees.

But far away in Mathura, the wicked King Kansa was always thinking of ways to harm Krishna. He sent many fierce demons to Vrindavan, hoping to stop the Lord’s miracles. One day, Kansa sent a giant demon named Aghasura—the brother of Putana and Bakasura. Aghasura could change his form, and he was determined to catch Krishna and his friends.

Aghasura turned himself into a gigantic serpent, so big that his mouth looked like a dark, scary cave. He lay across the path where Krishna and the cowherd boys played, his mouth wide open and his tongue stretched out, pretending to be a cave. The boys, always playful and curious, saw the huge “cave” and thought it would be fun to explore.

Some boys wondered if it was really a cave or something else, but others cheered, “Let’s go inside and find out!” Without fear, and trusting Krishna, all the boys ran inside. The moment they entered, the darkness closed around them, and they realized they were inside the mouth of a terrible demon!

Krishna, seeing his friends in danger, calmly walked toward Aghasura. The demon was waiting to trap Krishna, but the Lord’s eyes sparkled with love and courage. Krishna entered the demon’s mouth, and suddenly Aghasura closed it tight, hoping to swallow everyone inside.

But Krishna, who is the Supreme Lord, began to grow and grow, filling the demon’s body with His radiant light. Aghasura could not bear this divine power—his body burst open, and a brilliant light rose up and merged into Krishna, showing that even the darkest soul can find liberation through the Lord.

Krishna brought all His friends safely out. The cowherd boys didn’t even know how close they had come to danger. They returned to their village, singing and laughing, while all the gods in heaven showered flowers on Krishna for saving everyone and granting liberation to the demon.

Even though Aghasura had come with evil intentions, because he touched Krishna and surrendered—if only for a moment—he was freed from all darkness and found peace.

Moral for Young Vaishnavs:
Krishna’s love can rescue anyone, no matter how lost they are. Trust in God, be brave, and remember that His mercy is for everyone—even those who make mistakes.
