Descendants of Shri Krishna clan

Descendants of Krishna do not exist from the time when Mahabharata ended. Here is the complete story of the clan to which He belonged -Lord Krishna is believed to be descendant of ancient Indian clan named “Vrishni’. Vrishni, was a descendent of Yadu. It is believed that he was son of Satvata, a descendant of Yadu, the son of Yayati. He had two wives, Gandhari and Madri. He has a son named Devamidhusha by his wife Madri. Vasudeva, the father of Krishna was the grandson of Devamidhusha. According to the Puranas, the Vrishnis were residents of Mathura.

Departure of Vrishnis from Mathura - Vrishnis were native of Mathura but when Jarasandh, father in law of Kansa, invaded Mathura with very army of demons however couldn’t succeed and defeated by Krishna. But just after this war another asura, “Kaalyavan”, surrounded Mathura with another army of thirty million monstrous fiends. Then Krishna thought it well to depart to Dwaraka.

Family of Lord Krishna - Krishna married Rukmini, daughter of King Bhishmaka of Vidarbha, by defeating her gallant brother ‘Rukmi’. He also married Mitrabinda, Satyabhama, Jambavati and others, winning each by great deeds; and another time, when a demon named Narakasur carried off and concealed many thousand princesses, Krishna pursued and slew him, and received these also into his house thereby marrying 11,108 women at a time, however that symbolic rather than in practice just in order to save them, giving them a respectable status.

While Krishna was ruling at Dwaraka, great game of power struggle was being played at Hastinapur between Pandavas and Kauravas. Pandavas were closely related to Krishna, as Kunti, sister of Vasudeva, was mother of Pandavas. End of Vrishnis - No secret Lord Krishna favored righteous side i.e. of Pandavas and we all know Duryodhana was killed in 18 days long war at last. After the death of Duryodhana in Mahabharata, Krishna received the curse of Gandhari. She bewailed the death of her sons then recognizing Lord Krishna as the sole planner and player, the One behind All, she cursed him for letting such things befall. This was her curse: that after 36 years Krishna shall perish alone miserably and his people, the Vrishnis, shall be destroyed.

These things in due time came to pass. A madness seized the people of Dwaraka so that they fell upon one another and were slain, together with all sons and grandsons of Krishna. Only the women and Krishna and Balarama remained alive. Then Balarama went to the forest, and Krishna first sent a messenger to the Kuru city, to place the city and women of Dwaraka under the Pandavas protection, and then took leave of his father; afterward he himself sought the forest, where Balarama awaited him.

Shri Krishna discovered his brother seated under a mighty tree on the edge of the forest; he sat like a yogi, and behold, there came forth from his mouth a mighty snake, the thousand headed naga, Ananta, and glided away to ocean. Ocean himself and the sacred rivers and many divine nagas came to meet him. Thus Krishna beheld his brother depart from human world, and he wandered alone in forest. He thought of Gandhari's curse and all that had befallen, and he knew that the time had come for his own departure.

Shri Krishna restrained his senses in yoga and laid himself down. Then there came a hunter who thought him a deer, and loosed a shaft and pierced his foot; but when he came close the hunter beheld a man wrapped in yellow robes practicing yoga. Thinking himself an offender, he touched his feet. Then Krishna rose and gave him comfort, and himself ascended to Heaven.The hunter is said to be rebirth of Vali from Ramayana who was killed by Rama by hiding behind a tree and was therefore given the opportunity to avenge in similar fashion by Rama himself.
