Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Namaskaram to all. I am new to this group. Please forgive me if i said anything wrong and do let me know. I asked the below question to Aum, as per his wish i am posting it here. I wanted to know about this.People say that krishna use to steal butter from others house right. They use to come to yeshodha and complain about krishna. When krishna is a small child, Why not they admire his mischief instead of complaining? They know very well, kids allways do mischief and if it is a serious mistake then they have to take actions. But krishna was just eating butter. How can they make a complain on krishna for this?

How can they make > a complain on krishna for this? Dear Sarvamata, this is really beautiful question. Krishna did so many things in his life time that one needs full enlightenment to know his actions. Krishna in a way taught us how to live in Kaliyuga. About the stealing of butter... what i feel is that all the butter of Gokul was collected and sent to Mathura for Kansa. The children were not given butter to eat as gopas were afraid of Kansa. Shri Krishna broke this trend and started stealing the butter and distributing it to all his friends, even monkeys. This was his first revolt towards the kingdom of Kansa. As per Bhakti explanation, Gopis were very happy when Krishna stole their butter and they deliberately went to complain to Mother Yashoda...so that yashoda will rebuke Krishna and they were happy to see him being rebuked and then gopis would finally tell yashoda not to rebuke as krishna was also dear to them. It was a very innocent gesture of gopis ... small naughtyness with their friend Krishna. They left no chance to be with krishna. Gopis were so much in love with Krishna that one day when Krishna did not steal their butter... they would come to his house and ask if he was ill... why he did not steal. Krishna's games can be better understood by Bhakti not by logics. Hari Aum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
