Myth about LORD SHRI KRISHANA

There are a lot of myths in the literature sponsored by western writers about LORD SHRI KRISHANA. The most discussed is the RAS LILA done by LORD SHRI KRISHANA. It is a general perception that in these RAS LILA's a lot of SEXUAL activities were done. But this is wrong as the age of LORD KRISHANA at that time was 8-11 years and when He left Gokul His age was 11 years only and a child of 10 years can never be involved in the sexual activities and the GOPIES who participated in the RAAS LILA were of the all ages from 5 to 60 years. Actually these were the folk dance activities organized by LORD SHRI KRISHANA as He was a very good BANSURI Lyricist.

The other myth about LORD SHRI KRISHANA is that He had 16000 wives. The fact behind this was that a famous devil Narkasur had kidnapped the 16000 girls from his kingdom and had forcibly kept them in his Palace. When LORD SHRI KRISHANA killed that devil then those 16000 girls were going to suicide as they were not acceptable in the society and no one was ready to keep them at home and no one was going to accept them as their wives. So to give them SOCIAL PROTECTION LORD SHRI KRISHANA married them and kept them in DWARKA as a guardian.
