# Why did Krishna end His pastimes?

Krishna comes to this world to annihilate miscreants, deliver the devotees and re-establish principles of religion. After 125 years on this planet He had accomplished all His tasks and had concretely built a bridge by which living entities could go back to the spiritual world. Thus, the demigods, who had themselves requested Krishna to appear, met the Lord and confirmed that His task was now complete.
