This has been explained in our puranas.

Sometimes a person has a residual vasana that needs to be experienced in a particular way, and they take birth to experience only that portion for that lifetime. Such children are likely paying off whatever karma they owe, and passing onto their next life which is now free of that negative karma they carried with them.

You believe the child is “yours” and you therefore feel the pain of its “loss” — but that being’s atma was never yours to begin with, it merely borrowed that body for a brief time to pay off its karmic dues, and then accordingly left it when that particular karma vasana was complete.

There is no need to grieve. You can have more children. Keep trying. That child you “lost” has not been lost anywhere — they have already taken rebirth again elsewhere. You in turn had residual karma to experience as well in the form of the loss of a child, and now you have experienced it and it is over. Do not dwell on it, it is done. Now start afresh. All the pappa karmas that you commit, knowingly or unknowingly, take the form of these experiences — so in some previous life, or in this one, you committed some act that left its residual karma vasana to be experienced. Now, it is experienced, and exhausted — it is over.

Humans have all sorts of sentiments when it comes to their experiences. The reality has no such sentiments. It is math. It is perfect. All accounts are balanced out, until you are rid of past karma vasanas that you yourself have taken on because of some karmas you engaged in.

We are always eager to see others who “harmed us” receive their “just deserts” — but we are not so ruthless with ourselves and our own accounts. Reality is impartial, and it dispenses the karma vasanas in our account balances in due time, without fail.

Bramhins don’t follow the extreme disciplines they do in matters of food, and regulated lifestyles for no reason — we have developed that mature understanding of reality through long and repeated samsara existence — when you achieve the same level of maturity, you will adopt our practices, and then you will free yourself of these karma vasanas which you keep attracting to yourselves through partaking in forbidden actions.

We don’t tell you to stop eating meat for no reason. We don’t tell you to stop your himsa towards others for no reason. We don’t do anything we do, for no reason. All our practices have reasons — primarily aimed at managing and reducing the karma vasanas in our account balance until we zero out and become eligible for moksha. Most humans are nowhere near this point, so they keep repeating the same mistakes, and keep accumulating all the negative karmas that go with those attitudes and behaviors.

The atman is never lost

Usually, a child of age 7 years or younger dies, such a death is termed as alpaysu (alpa-aysu), meaning short-lived.

Suffering on this World in replacement for the sin we committed (in the past lives) are acceptable way to shorten our amount of negative Karma we have accumulated. Sickness, physical disability and short lives are all part of options to reduce one’s negative Karma in a large scale. Think of it as allowing yourself to be reborn in Hell to suffer, instead, you choose to born in this World and suffer.

According ones karma one is destined to remain in a particular body for a certain time period. Whether that is 3 months or 100 years that is prescribed to us by higher authority, according to the lessons to be learnt. After death we are given another body so there is no real cause for lamentation for one who understands the spiritual science.

Is Krishna is the source of Vishnu or Vishnu is the source of Krishna?

Only Vishnu is avatari, Krishna is avatar.

śrī kṛṣṇā said;

mūla rūpo hyato jñeyo viṣṇutvād viṣṇur avyayaḥ |

avatāram idaṃ proktaṃ pūrṇatvād eva suvrata ||

The eternal indeclinable Vishnu is the root form. Because of His all-pervading nature this incarnation (Krsna) is known as complete. (Garuda Purana 3.2.6.)

So Krishna himself tells that Vishnu is his root form. 

‘Janardana then spoke to Partha, “You are mine and I am yours. All that is mine is yours too. He who hates you also hates me. He who follows you also follows me. O invincible one! You are Nara and I am Hari Narayana. We are the rishis Nara and Narayana, born from that world in this world. O Partha! O descendant of the Bharata lineage! You are no other than I. I am no other than you. O bull among the Bharata lineage! No one can know any difference that exists between us.”

-Mahabharat CE(BORI):Kairata Parva,Chapter 310(13) Translated by Bibek Debroy.

in Mahabharata he says he is Vishnu avatar.
