When Krishna fought the most unique battle of freedom, 16,100 women got freedom
Independence Day 2025: This time the month of August 2025 is special. On the one hand, on August 15, we are celebrating Independence Day, on the other hand, on August 16, Janmashtami is the incarnation day of Shri Krishna. In many places, Janmashtami is also being celebrated on August 15. But do you know that thousands of years ago Krishna also launched a historic liberation campaign in which 16,100 women got freedom from bondage? This episode is not only the golden chapter of the scriptures, but also highlights the real meaning of freedom.
On this Independence Day and Janmashtami, this story of Krishna reminds us that freedom is not just the name of breaking the bond, but is the name of creating such an environment. Where honor, security and dignity can be maintained. Whether it is the liberation of 16,100 women or the freedom of one nation is the same. Do not bow down to injustice.
The story of freedom of 16,100 women Narakasura terror and imprisoned
According to the Bhagavata Purana, a demon named Narakasura crossed all the boundaries of atrocities. He not only defeated the gods, but also spread terror in the earth and hell. His most cruel act was to force 16,100 women and imprison them in the palace. This imprisonment was not only of the walls, but also the fetters of their honor and self -respect.
Krishna’s liberation campaign
The news of Narakasura’s atrocities reached Lord Krishna. He started the mythological Mukti Yatra with his wife Satyabhama. In the war, Krishna killed Narakasura and freed all those women from captivity. The special thing here is that Shri Krishna not only gave him freedom, but also gave social respect. In order to save from the social stigma of that time, he got married to all of them, so that no one would have the opportunity to say that she was humiliated. This was the true form of respect with freedom.
Message of Janmashtami and freedom
Janmashtami has always been a symbol of the end of unrighteousness and injustice. Just as India got freedom from the English rule in 1947, similarly the context of Narakasura slaughter shows that standing united against injustice is real freedom.
This year there is only one day gap between Janmashtami and Independence Day. As if the time is reminding us that freedom is not only political, social and ethical.
