Jai Shri Krishna !๐Ÿ˜Š
Here is a post giving you a brief of Lord Krishna's Exploits..๐Ÿ˜Š

On the very sixth day of his birth

he killed lady demon Putna by sucking on her breasts. In his childhood, he also killed many mighty demons, such as Trunavarta, Keshi, Aristhasur, Bakasur, Pralambasur et al. During the same period he also killed Kali Nag (the cobra de capello) and made the holy water of river Yamuna poison free. He made cowherdesses happy by the bliss of his cosmic dances and the soulful music of his flute. He stayed in Gokul for 3 years and 4 months. As a child he was reputed to be very mischievous, stealing curd and butter and playing pranks with his girl friends or gopis.

Having completed his Lila or exploits at Gokul, he went to Vrindavan and stayed until he was 6 years and 8 months old. There he drove away the serpent Kaliya from the river to the sea. He lifted the Govardhana hill up with his little finger and held it like an umbrella to protect the people of Vrindavana from the torrential rain caused by Lord Indra, who had been annoyed by Krishna. Then he lived in Nandagram till he was 10.

He then returned to Mathura and killed his wicked maternal uncle King Kamsa with all his cruel associates and liberated his parents from jail. He also reinstated Ugrasen as the King of Mathura. He completed his education and mastered the 64 sciences and arts in 64 days at Avantipura under his preceptor Sandipani. As gurudaksina or fees, he restored Sandipani's dead son to him. He stayed in Mathura till he was 28.

Krishna easily triumphed over the multi-million army of Jarasandha of Magadha by building an impregnable capital Dwarka in an island in the sea and shifted all his sleeping relatives and natives to Dwarka by the power of Yoga.

In Dwarka, he married Rukmini, then Jambavati, and Satyabhama. Nakasura, the demon king of Pragjyotisapura, had abducted 16000 princesses. Krishna freed them and married them since they had nowhere else to go.

Rest of his life he was with the Pandavas helping them fight the Kauravas in the epic battle the Mahabharatam!

At Dwarka he lived for 96 years until he was 125 years old. In his final days on earth, he taught spiritual wisdom to Uddhava, his friend and disciple, and ascended to his abode after casting off his body, which was shot at by a hunter named Jara.

Thanx so much Vidya for the info dear!!!! Very useful and placed perfectly in chronological order...Good Job!!!
I have a quick question though....we had a big debate in Ramayan forum about Lord Krishna being shot in the ankle by Jara, who was a hunter!!!!
My question to you or any1 who can answer this Jara the reincarnation of Bali, who was shot by Lord Ram from out of sight!!!! Or was it Angad's reincarnation, son of Bali, who got to take his "revenge" on Lord Krishna for his dad...even though Angad was a wonderful devotee of Shri Ram!!!
Many ppl in Ramayan forum gave wonderful and valid points on why it cud be Bali or Angad's reincarnation...but we never came to a conclusion!!!!!
So does ne1 know...will be waiting to hear for an answer!!!!
Thanx again Vidya dear!!!! keep up the good work!!!

You're Most Welcome Ma'am !๐Ÿ˜Š

Thank you !๐Ÿ˜Š

Ma'am , as far as my knowledge , in almost all Books that I've read, I've known that Jara was the reincarnation of Bali.

Jara , the hunter shot Lord Krishna by mistake.
When he came to know whom he has actually shot , he regretted it very much. But Lord Krishna informed him about his previous life in which he was Bali ( who was killed by Lord Rama )
Now , thats what I've read in perhaps 5 books !๐Ÿ˜Š
Thank you so much Ma'am !๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

JSK Suniti, how ru dear?...
Yes i have read in Bhagvad, when Krishna was resting under tree, Jara mistook Krishna right foot thumb as Deer's eye and shot the arrow. When he went close, he saw the arrow has hit Krishna foot thumb and he was shocked and fell on his feet asking for forgiveness, Krishna told Jara that this was done by his wish, as his time has to leave the earth and go to his abode, seeing Jara crying he said that in during Ram Avtaar he had killed him, hiding behind trees, since Bali cannot be conquered in face to face battle, but to protect the Dharma, Shri Ram has to kill him. Bali asked Shri Ram why he killed him hidingly? why he dint face him like true Kshatriya in battel?..Shri Ram told Bali that he has forcefully kept the wife of Sugreev and did injustice with him, so how can he talk about injustice now?.
Shri Ram killed Bali hiding behind trees and now Jara did the same.
Krishna told Jara that he just an instrument, thn Vishnu's messengers came to take him to Vaikunthdham. Krishna granted him Mukti.๐Ÿ˜Š
