Putana sucked from Bala Krishna from "summary" of The Complete Life of Krishna by Vanamali
Bala Krishna, the Hindu deity, was once being sucked by a demon called Putana, but he miraculously survived. After a fierce battle, Bala Krishna was able to outwit and defeat the evil Putana. This is a story of how the divine was victorious over the demon.- The noblest hero of all times, Lord Bala Krishna faced Putana head on and even after she had exhausted every power within her evil creation, He still kept her from crossing His will.
- Putana came as a messenger of doom but failed against Lord Bala Krishna’s unbreakable faith and might. Her defeat marked him as one of the most beloved and remembered incarnations of the almighty.
- Putana was a wicked ogress who tried to poison Lord Bala Krishna with her deadly breast milk. She was instantly slain by the Almighty and her death removed obstacles in the path of His divine mission.
- As soon as Putana appeared before Him, Bala Krishna drew out her life essence and thus freed Himself and His people from the terror she had brought upon them.
- Putana's failure in trying to harm Bala Krishna showed that even the strongest evil force can be subdued if one has strong faith in the divine power.
