Story of OM KRISHNA :
 

In the dungeon of Kansha, the tyrant king of Mathura. Lord Krishna, incarnation of God, Vishnu was born to mother Devaki, as her eighth son. In order to save the infant from the wrath of the tyrant king, Basudev, the father carried him on his head, at night, amidst rain and thunder to the house of his friend Nandaraj at Gokul and returns back with Yashoda's infant daugh­ter, Mahamaya. Kansha, going by his earlier habit, attempts in vain to kill Mahamaya. He hears an oracle that his death will be at the hands of the one who is being brought up in Gokul.

Putana, who was sent by Kansa to kill the Lord, kills Putana with ease. The tyrant king desisted from his satanic activities, realizes  he strength of Krishna and the important of the oracle.

The children of Gopa community of Gokul take Lord.Krishna as their friend and come under his protective care. Thus Krishna destroys the venomous snake 'Kalianag' in the Kaliadaha Lake and saves the. inhabit­ants of Gokul by shouldering the uprooted Giri Gobardhan Mountain, so that they are protected from the wrath of Indra who sends torrential rain to drown the Gopas.

In prime youth Krishna plays the Maharas dance through which Radha and Krishna i.e. the worshipper and the worshipped come close together. Thus Krishna manifests himself in the hearts of all the Gopinis, the devotees.

Ultimately, Krishna kills Kansha and leaves behind an immortal achievement.
