Religious history … Goddess Yogmaya was born under these circumstances,
when Devaki gave birth to Krishna, then there was a voice in the sky that the child should be taken to Nandababa’s house. In the middle of the night, Vasudev kept Krishna in Tokni and crossed the Jamuna river to Gokul. During this time, the sentinels of imprisonment from Yogamaya’s maya fell asleep. Vasudeva returns Krishna to Gokul and comes back to prison with Yogamaya. Kansa finds out that an infant has been born from Devaki’s womb, so he comes to kill him in imprisonment. Seeing the girl instead of the boy, he became angry and as soon as he wanted to kill him, Yogmaya warned him while going through the skyway – wicked Kansa! Your time has been born …
