He was descendant of the Vrishni clan.<br /><br /> <br /><br />2 As per the Puranas, he was one of twelve sons born to Shvaphalka and Gandini and brother of Vasudeva which made Akrura one of Krishna’s uncles.<br /><br />3 Akrura married the daughter of Ahuka - Sutanu and had two sons - Devaka and Upadevaka.<br /><br />4 He was the minister of King Kansa and during the Mahabharata, he was acclaimed as the commander of the Yadava army.<br /><br />5 He accompanied Lord Krishna at various social events and assisted him during different occasions. Thus, his life-stories are depicted in the various ancient texts, mainly the Bhagavata Purana.<br /><br /> <br /><br />6 One such mythological story describes that Akrura longed to meet Lord Krishna for years. Kansa (for his own evil intentions) asked him to bring Lord Krishna and Lord Balarama for a celebration.<br /><br /> <br /><br />7 On reaching Vrindavan, Akrura saw Lord Krishna's footsteps on the sand. He was so overwhelmed that he fell on his knees and worshiped the footsteps.<br /><br />8 On his way to the festival, Akrura had experienced a mystic vision of Lord Krishna as Lord Mahavishnu and Lord Balarama as Shesha Naga in a bathing Kunda or Ghat.<br /><br />9 This ghat still exists in Vrindavan and is referred to as Akrura Ghat. The Gopi Nath temple near this ghat is dedicated to Lord Krishna, Lord Balarama and Akrura.<br /><br /> <br /><br />10 To get more spirituals video, subscribe to our YouTube Channel and also like our FB page <br /><br />Like us @ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ArthaChannel/ <br />Check us out on Google Plus - https://goo.gl/6qG2sv <br />Follow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/ArthaChannel <br />Follow us on Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/arthachannel/ <br />Follow us on Pinterest - https://in.pinterest.com/channelartha/ <br />Follow us on Tumblr - https://www.tumblr.com/blog/arthachannel
