Krishna was hungry. He wanted milk and so he went to his mother. Mother Yasoda was churning butter at that time. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n
When she saw Krishna, she immediately understood that he was hungry and so she started feeding him. Meanwhile a pot of milk which was getting boiled on the oven started overflowing. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Mother Yasoda kept Krishna aside and rushed to attend the boiling milk on the oven<\/b>. Seeing that Mother Yasoda had stopped feeding him the milk, Krishna became angry<\/b>. He hit the pot of churning butter with a stone, broke it, and entered another room. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
When Yasoda saw that the pot was broken she immediately understood that it\u2019s the mischief of Krishna. In the room Krishna was standing on a mortar which he had put upside down. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
He was stealing butter and was also feeding it to the monkeys. When he saw his mother, he became afraid and started running away.<\/b> Mother Yasoda became angry, she thought to punish Krishna. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
She caught Krishna and decided to bind him with a rope. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
However, when she tried to put knot on the rope she found it short by 2 fingers. She took more ropes and tied the ropes together. But when she tried to put the knot it was again short by 2 fingers. She did it again and again but each time the rope was short by 2 fingers<\/b>.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
She became tired, she started perspiring. Krishna saw her mother and felt great love for her. He could not bear her pain.<\/b> So, he decided to get bound by her ropes.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Saints and sages meditate for millions of years yearning for a glimpse of the lord<\/b>. But here mother Yasoda was so fortunate that she was constantly relishing the pastimes of the Lord and even was punishing Him. This is why Krishna is called Bhakta Vatsala<\/i>. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
We too can get an opportunity to associate with Krishna. <\/b>The only qualification required is our eagerness & our desire to associate with him. Krishna confirms, \u201cAs all surrender unto Me, I reward them accordingly\u201d Bhagavad \u2013 Gita 4.11.<\/span><\/div>\n
Let us also try to bind Krishna with the ropes of love.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
