Story of Pradyumna

                                   Story of Pradyumna

Pradyumna is the son of Shri Krishna and Rukmimi. it is believed that he was the incarnation of Kamadev. the story goes like this -----
In Tetrayug, when God Shiv was in meditation , Kamadev became the barrier for God's meditation. Angrily, Shiv burns Kamadev.
Kamadev's wife Rati, was very sad.  Then Shiv blessed her that in next birth, Kamadev will be the part of God himself ! Likewise, Kamadev in his next birth , was the son of Shri Krishna.
When Pradyumna was a baby, he was abducted by a demon named Sambara. He was then cast into the sea and swallowed by a fish. The fish was caught and was carried to Sambara's house.
In the kitchen, fish was opened and they found a baby inside. He was given to a woman in Sambara's house to raise. Later, woman came to know the true identity of the baby. Pradyumna grew up and battled against Sambara and killed the demon.
