SRI KRISHNA LEELAMRUTHAM ( THE NECTARINE STORIES OF THE DEEDS OF LORD KRISHNA)

7. LORD KRISHNA SHOWING COSMIC VISION TO MOTHER YASHODA 

After this incident, Nanda Maharaja and mother Yashoda invited Gargacharya, the priest of Yadu dynasty to calculate the future and life of the two children, Krishna and Balaram. Nanda Maharaja and Mother Yashoda warmly welcomed the priest Gargamuni to his house  and pleased Him to reveal the future of those children as Vasudeva sent Him to visit their house. Nanda Maharaja gave His child Krishna and mother Rohini's child Balaram. Gargamuni understood that Krishna was the eighth son of Devaki and Vasudeva and were kept under care of  Nanda Maharaja and Yashoda. He also got to know that Rohini's child, Balaram was also the son of Devaki and Goddess Yogamaya placed the child in Rohini's womb. Gargamuni took Rohini's child Balaram and uttered," Balaram, who is very pleasing to His family members and relatives, has Infinite strength and one who removes all the differences and bring together all the Yadu vamsa (Lord Balaram can be called as Ram, Baladeva and sankarshana). Then He took baby Krishna and said, "Krishna has appeared in many complexions in His pastimes as red, yellow, white and now appearing in black complexion. Krishna has many forms and will bring delight and prosperity by destroying the evils. He, who triumph over all difficulties. He is the form of Lord Narayana Himself." On hearing that Nanda Maharaja overwhelmed with delight and priest Gargamuni returned back to His home. Krishna and Balaram began to crawl on their knees and grew up soon and became very naughty day by day. They stealed butter, yogurt and milk from Gopi's house. When they were caught, they used to smile charmingly at the Gopis to forgive Them. Sometimes They both used to distribute butter to monkeys with love.

  

One day, Krishna, Balaram and other friends were playing in the pasture land. All the boys along with Balaram complained that Krishna has eaten earth. On hearing that, mother Yashoda afraid of her child's health and scolded Krishna. Lord Krishna then replied that those boys had anger with Him and due to that anger they told His mother Yashoda. The Lord uttered to examine His mouth if she suspects Him. Mother Yashoda examined her child's mouth by asking the Lord  to open His mouth. The supreme personality of Godhead opened His mouth as an ordinary child. In His mouth, mother Yashoda saw the whole Universe of both animate and inanimate things, the Islands, the mountains, the planets, the seas the oceans, the stars, the moon, the fire, the sky, all the Devas, the sound, smell and senses, spiritual and maternal nature, the karma, the time and  even herself taking Krishna on her lap and feeding Him. 

After seeing the cosmic vision of her child, mother Yashoda stuck with wonder and began to think that this event would be her dream. When she was perplexing and going mad due to this event, Lord Krishna put forth His internal energy and mother Yashoda forgot all the philosophical happenings and became overwhelmed on affection with her child.
