This is power of #SanatanaDharma

While covering the Kumbh Mela, a BBC Team saw about 400 Sadhus offering their body to Agni Devata before Kumbh Snan. They took a Video of the occasion.
The BBC camera team had to go far away from the flames due to the intense heat generated from burning wood. They were stunned to note that nothing happened to the Sadhus lying on the fire wood. They also tested their clothes to identify for the presence of firefighting chemicals,
but failed to find any. The Sadhus were fully engrossed chanting Mantras. These Sadhus are called Siddha Sadhus. The BBC team later telecast this on their channels.🔥

Lord Krishna is perhaps the most charismatic avatar of god Vishnu

#1. Shri Krishna was born as the eighth son of Devaki and Vasudeva in Rohini Nakshatra.

Conti👇👇
#2. He is so powerful that he even brought the dead son of his Guru Sandipani as a way of paying Gurudakshina to Sandipani.

He also revived 6 sons of Devaki for a brief moment of reunion. Namely Smara,Udgitha, Parishvanga,Patanga,Kshudrabhrit, and Ghrini. 

Conti👇👇
#4. In the earlier avatar, Lord Rama killed Bali, and he assured Tara (Bali’s widow) that Bali would be able to take revenge in his next birth. Bali was reborn as Jara, and he ended the life of Krishna on earth with a simple arrow. This was the curse of Gandhari.
