# Krishna in Vrindavana *Krishna's childhood and youth in Vrindavana* **139 images** --- <h3>Krsna Appears in the Prison to Vasudeva and Devaki</h3> ![[0022_SB-1_1_7.jpg]] *Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa appeared as the son of Vasudeva and Devakī.* <h3>Krsna on the Yamuna</h3> ![[0027_SB-1_3_9.jpg]] *Śrī Kṛṣṇa, a mindenkit vonzó Istenség Legfelsőbb Személyiesége. Csodálatos formáját az esőfelhők kék színe árnyalja, szemei olyanok, akéar a nyīló lótuszvirág szirmai, fejét pedig a leggyönyörűbb pávatol díszíti.* <h3>Krsna and a Dancing Peacock</h3> ![[0029_TLC-12.jpg]] *“Even the impersonalists will become attracted to the personal form of Kṛṣṇa known as Śyāmasundara.” The transcendental form of the Lord is not material. It is composed of the spiritual elements of external existence (sat), full knowledge (cit), and complete bliss (ānanda). It also possesses unlimited opulences.* <h3>0030/TLC 11</h3> ![[0030_TLC-11.jpg]] <h3>The Princesses Liberated by Krsna</h3> ![[0034_SB-3_1_3.jpg]] *The 16,000 princesses all looked upon Lord Kṛṣṇa with eagerness, joy, and shyness and offered to be His wives.* <h3>Krsna Lifts Govardhana Hill</h3> ![[0035_SB-3-2-2.jpg]] *Lord Kṛṣṇa exhibits His supernatural power by lifting the Govardhana Hill.* <h3>Krsna Dances on Kaliya's Hoods</h3> ![[0038_SB-3-1-f.c.jpg]] <h3>0043/SB 6-1-6</h3> ![[0043_SB-6-1-6.jpg]] *The Supreme Lord is known as Kṛṣṇa because His transcendental qualities make Him very attractive to all living entities. He especially displays His all-attractive feature in Vṛndāvana, where He sports with His cowherd boyfriends and other intimate associates.* <h3>The Birth of Lord Krsna</h3> ![[0047_SB-10-1-4.jpg]] *One reason why Lord Kṛṣṇa's activities appeared bewildering to Queen Kuntī was that He came to this world to fulfill many purposes simultaneously. One important purport was simply to satisfy the desires of His dear devotees Vasudeva and Devakī. In their former lives, Vasudeva and Devakī were known as Sutapā and Pṛśni. They were ordered by Lord Brahmā to produce offspring, and so they engaged themselves in severe austerities for thousands of years. Being pleased by their penances, Kṛṣṇa came before them and asked them what they wanted. They said, "We want a son like You. That is our desire." Kṛṣṇa agreed, and in their next lives Sutapā and Pṛśni (now Vasudeva and Devakī) had the extraordinary opportunity to play the role of Lord Kṛṣṇa's parents. As shown here, Vasudeva and Devakī in the dense darkness of night, like the full moon rising the eastern horizon. The newborn child had very wonderful lotuslike eyes and bore in His four hands a conch shell, disc, club, and lotus. On His chest was the mark of Śrīvatsa, and on His neck the brilliant Kaustubha gem. Then, after receiving prayers from Vasudeva and Devakī and instructing them, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, transformed Himself into His original form as a small human child.* <h3>Krsna's Birthday Ceremony</h3> ![[0047_SB-10-1-7.jpg]] *Nanda Mahārāja, Kṛṣṇa's foster father, celebrated the birth ceremony of his newborn son with great opulence. Everyone was overwhelmed with joy.* <h3>Krsna Kills Putana</h3> ![[0047_SB-10-2-1.jpg]] *Kṛṣṇa tötete die riesige Hexe Pūtanā, die von König Kaṁsa geschickt worden war, um alle Neugeborenen in Vṛndāvana umzubringen.* <h3>Trnavarta Attacks Krsna</h3> ![[0048_SB-10-2-4.jpg]] *EN KB 2018 one-vol: Once, Tṛṇāvarta, a demon with mystic powers, appeared in Vṛndāvana in the form of a great whirlwind and carried baby Kṛṣṇa aloft to kill Him. But to the amazement of all, Kṛṣṇa easily killed the demon and was totally unharmed.* <h3>Krsna Blesses the Fruit Vendor</h3> ![[0049_SB-10-2-13.jpg]] *EN KB 2018: One day, a fruit vendor came to Nanda Mahārāja’s house. Hearing the vendor call, child Kṛṣṇa took grains in His palms and went to exchange them for fruits. But His palms were small and He was not careful to hold the grains tightly, so He dropped many of them. The fruit vendor saw this and was captivated by the child’s beauty, so she accepted whatever grains were left and filled His hands with fruits. In the meantime, her basket of fruit became filled with jewels.* <h3>Makhancora</h3> ![[0049_SB-10-2-6.jpg]] *Kṛṣṇa would sometimes enter the house of a neighbor and steal curd, butter and milk from the pots in the storeroom. Then the cowherd men would find Him and angrily say, “Here is the butter thief! Better capture Him!” But Kṛṣṇa would simply go on eating the curd and butter, and when He smiled at the cowherd men they would forget everything.* <h3>Mother Yasoda Chases Krsna</h3> ![[0049_SB-10-2-9.jpg]] *Mutter Yaśodā versuchte, Kṛṣṇa einzuholen – Ihn, den nicht einmal große Yogis mit ihrer Meditation erreichen können.* <h3>Krsna at Kesi-ghata</h3> ![[0049_SB-7-2-2.jpg]] <h3>Krsna Confronts the Baka Demon</h3> ![[0050_SB-10-2-14.jpg]] *EN KB 2018: While the boys and calves were sitting on the bank of the Yamunā, they saw a huge heron as big as a hill. The name of this beast was Bakāsura, and he was a friend of Kaṁsa’s. The bird attacked Kṛṣṇa with his pointed, sharp beak. All the boys fell in despair. But Bakāsura didn’t know that although Kṛṣṇa was playing the part of a child He was the original father of the universe. Kṛṣṇa caught hold of the two halves of the gigantic heron’s beak and bifurcated his mouth as easily as a child splits a blade of grass.* <h3>The Deliverance of the Yamala-Arjuna Trees</h3> ![[0051_SB-10-2-11.jpg]] *EN KB 2018 one-vol: Bound to the wooden mortar, child Kṛṣṇa proceeded toward the twin arjuna trees, which were actually the sons of Kuvera, in order to fulfill the prophecy of Nārada Muni. Although He was able to pass between them, the large wooden mortar stuck horizontally, and with great strength He pulled the rope tied to the mortar. The two trees, with all their branches and limbs, fell with a crash. Out of the broken, fallen trees came two great personalities, shining like blazing fire, who bowed before little Kṛṣṇa.* <h3>Aghasura Swallows the Cowherd Boys</h3> ![[0052_SB-10-2-15.jpg]] *The cowherd boys entered the mouth of the serpent Aghāsura in a playful mood, supremely confident that Kṛṣṇa would protect them.* <h3>Krsna Enjoys Lunch with the Cowherd Boys</h3> ![[0052_SB-10-3-1.jpg]] *After selecting a pleasing location on the riverbank, Lord Kṛṣṇa and His friends opened their baskets of food and began eating in great transcendental pleasure. Like the whorl of a lotus flower surrounded by its petals and leaves, Kṛṣṇa sat in the center, encircled by lines of His friends, who all looked very beautiful. Every one of them was trying to look forward toward Kṛṣṇa, thinking that Kṛṣṇa might look toward him. Among the cowherd boys, some placed their lunch on flowers, some on leaves, fruits, or bunches of leaves, some actually in their baskets, some on the bark of trees and some on rocks. This is what the children imagined to be their plates as they ate their lunch. All the cowherd boys enjoyed their lunch with Kṛṣṇa, showing one another the different tastes of the different varieties of preparations they had brought from home. Tasting one another’s preparations, they began to laugh and make one another laugh. In this way they all enjoyed their lunch in the forest.* <h3>Lord Krsna Bewilders Brahma</h3> ![[0052_SB-10-3-3.jpg]] *Kṛṣṇa volte Seine Allmacht demonstrieren, und so offenbarte er Brahmā, dass all die Kälber und Kuhhirtenjungen Seine Viṣṇu-Erweiterungen waren.* <h3>Brahma Offers Obeisances to Lord Krsna</h3> ![[0052_SB-10-3-4.jpg]] *Brahmā said, “My dear Kṛṣṇa, Your name suggests that You are all-attractive. The attraction of the sun and the moon are due to You. By the attraction of the sun You beautify the existence of the Yadu dynasty. By the attraction of the moon You enhance the potency of the land, demigods, brāhmaṇas, cows, and oceans. Because of Your supreme attraction, demons like Kaṁsa are annihilated. You are the only worshipable Deity within the creation. Accept my humble obeisances until the annihilation of this material world. As long as there is sunshine in this world, kindly accept my humble obeisances.”* <h3>Mother Yasoda Dresses Krsna</h3> ![[0053_AB-C49.jpg]] *“Kṛṣṇa's younger friends assist Mother Yaśodā in dressing Him.” The spiritual world is full of ever-increasing love for the Supreme Lord. There is no way to measure the love and devotion Kṛṣṇa’s devotees feel for Him.* <h3>Krsna Kills Aristasura</h3> ![[0054_SB-10-7-1.jpg]] <h3>The Wrestling Match</h3> ![[0054_SB-10-7-10.jpg]] <h3>Krsna Kills the Kesi Demon</h3> ![[0054_SB-10-7-3.jpg]] <h3>Narada Informs Kamsa of His Imminent Death at Krsna's Hands</h3> ![[0057_SB-10-7-2.jpg]] <h3>Kṛṣṇa Plays His Flute</h3> ![[0067_BG--24.jpg]] *6.47: “Of all yogīs, the one with great faith who always abides in Me, thinks of Me within himself, and renders transcendental loving service to Me – he is the most intimately united with Me in /yoga/ and is the highest of all.”* <h3>0069/BG-68b</h3> ![[0069_BG-68b.jpg]] <h3>Krsna, the All-attractive Flute Player</h3> ![[0070_BG--75.jpg]] <h3>Govinda with Calf</h3> ![[0076_Gopal-1.jpg]] *“Always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me, and offer your homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My very dear friend.”* <h3>Yasoda Binds Krsna</h3> ![[0080_SB-1-2-3.jpg]] *With maternal affection, Queen Kuntī here remembers another of Lord Kṛṣṇa's bewildering pastimes. One day, the Lord, playing just like a human child, spoiled the stocked butter of Mother Yaśodā by breaking the pots and distributing the contents to His friends and playmates, including the celebrated monkeys of Vṛndāvana, who took full advantage of the Lord's munificence. Mother Yaśodā saw this, and out of her pure love she wanted to make a show of punishment for her transcendental child. She took a rope and threatened to tie Him up, as is generally done with ordinary children who have been naughty. Seeing the rope in her hands, the Lord bowed down His head and began to weep, and as tears rolled down His cheeks they washed off the black ointment smeared about His beautiful eyes. Because Queen Kuntī felt maternal love for Kṛṣṇa, she adored this image of Him. But because she knew Kṛṣṇa's supreme position, she was amazed that although He was feared by fear personified, He appeared to be afraid of His mother, who wanted to punish Him just like an ordinary child.* <h3>Vasudeva Carries Krsna to Vrndavana</h3> ![[0080_SB-10-1-5.jpg]] *EN KB 2018 one-vol: The Lord told Vasudeva and Devakī, “I know you are afraid of Kaṁsa and want to protect Me. Take Me to Gokula and exchange Me for the daughter just born to Yaśodā.” While carrying child Kṛṣṇa across the storm-tossed river Yamunā, Vasudeva was sheltered by the hoods of Lord Śeṣa, an expansion of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The effulgence from Kṛṣṇa’s body dissipated the darkness so Vasudeva could find his way.* <h3>Krsna Plays His Flute and the Yamuna Offers Lotuses</h3> ![[0080_SB-10-5-1.jpg]] <h3>0080/SB 12-1-3</h3> ![[0080-SB-12-1-3.jpg]] <h3>The Beauty of Vraja Krsna</h3> ![[0080_SB-12-1-3.jpg]] *Lord Kṛṣṇa is supremely lovable because of His eternal, transcendental qualities. The beauty of this world is but a dim reflection of the unlimited beauty of the Lord.* <h3>Krsna Plays on the Body of Putana</h3> ![[0081_SB-2-2-9.jpg]] *The Lord sucked the breast of the Pūtanā witch along with her life air, and the demon's gigantic body fell down.* <h3>Krsna Kicks the Cart</h3> ![[0084_SB-2-2-10.jpg]] *At the age of three months, Lord Kṛṣṇa killed the Śakaṭāsura demon, who had remained hidden behind a cart.* <h3>A Meditative Krsna and a Calf</h3> ![[0086_SB-11-4-2.jpg]] *EN POY 2005: Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa is full of all opulence as the Supreme Personality of Godhead.* <h3>0086/SB 9-3-6</h3> ![[0086_SB-9-3-6.jpg]] <h3>0087/TLC 13</h3> ![[0087-TLC-13.jpg]] <h3>Vasudeva and Devaki Offer Obeisances to Lord Visnu</h3> ![[0090_KB1-2-pg.29.jpg]] *"Therefore I request You to conceal this four-armed form of Your Lordship, which holds the four symbols of Viṣṇu."* <h3>Devaki With HerNewborn Krsna</h3> ![[0090_KB1-3-pg.30.jpg]] *Lord Kṛṣṇa played on the lap of Devakī just like an ordinary child.* <h3>Vasudeva Exchanges Krsna for Yasoda's Daughter</h3> ![[0090_KB1-7-pg.31.jpg]] *Vasudeva entered the house and silently exchanged his son for Yaśodā's daughter.* <h3>Brahma Prays to Krsna</h3> ![[0091-KB1-21-pg.96.jpg]] <h3>The Nagapatnis Offer Prayers</h3> ![[0093_KB1-26-pg.123.jpg]] *"We think that this apparent punishment to Kāliya is actually some benediction."* <h3>Krsna Pulled by a Calf</h3> ![[0094_KB1-14-pg.59.jpg]] *Yaśodā and Rohiṇī would call all their neighboring friends to see the fun.* <h3>Krsna and Trnavarta</h3> ![[0094_KB1-9-pg.53.jpg]] *Tṛṇāvarta felt the baby to be as heavy as a mountain.* <h3>Krsna Brings the Cows and Cowherd Boys Back to Life</h3> ![[0094_SB-10-4-6.jpg]] <h3>Indra Apologizes to Krsna</h3> ![[0095_KB1-33-pg.180.jpg]] *King Indra from the heavenly planet appeared before Kṛṣṇa in a secluded place.* <h3>Gopi Mothers Churning Butter</h3> ![[0095_KB1-15-pg.61.jpg]] *The darling of Vraja.* <h3>Krsna Kicks the Household Cart</h3> ![[0095_KB1-8-pg.52.jpg]] *No one could ascertain the cause of the cart's falling.* <h3>Krsna Accepts a Garland from Sudama, the Florist</h3> ![[0097_KB1-49-pg.265.jpg]] *The florist begged from the Lord that he might remain His eternal servant.* <h3>Krsna in the Vrndavana Forest</h3> ![[0101_BTG-18-9-f.c.jpg]] <h3>0103/BTG 18 no11 cov</h3> ![[0103_BTG-18-no11-cov.jpg]] <h3>Krsna and His Mother</h3> ![[0103_BTG-18-12-p2.jpg]] <h3>0104/BTG 19-4 f.c.</h3> ![[0104_BTG-19-4--f.c.jpg]] <h3>Baby Krsna</h3> ![[0104_BTG-19-5-f.c.jpg]] <h3>The Demigods Offer Prayers to Krsna in the Womb</h3> ![[0137_KB1-1--pg22.jpg]] *"Dear Mother Devakī, within your womb is the Supreme Personality of Godhead."* <h3>Yasoda and Baby Krsna</h3> ![[0137_KB1-3--pg30.jpg]] <h3>Vasudeva Carries Krsna Across the Yamuna</h3> ![[0137_KB1-6--pg30.jpg]] *The night was very dark, but Vasudeva could see everything, just as in the sunlight.* <h3>Krsna Defeats Aristasura</h3> ![[0138_KB1-42--pg237.jpg]] *Being kicked by Kṛṣṇa, Ariṣṭāsura rolled over and began to move his legs violently.* <h3>Krsna and Kubja</h3> ![[0139_KB1-54--p315.jpg]] *"Full of feminine bashfulness, Kubjā stood gracefully before Kṛṣṇa."* <h3>Krsna Speaks With the Animals of Vrndavana</h3> ![[0144_KB--3--p43.jpg]] <h3>Krsna Chastises the Kaliya Serpent</h3> ![[0145_KB1-22.jpg]] *EN KB 2018 one-vol: Lord Kṛṣṇa danced with great force upon the heads of the serpent Kāliya, who had poisoned the waters of the river Yamunā. When he was near death from this battering, Kāliya realized Kṛṣṇa was the Supreme Personality of Godhead and surrendered to Him.* <h3>Krsna Swallows a Forest Fire</h3> ![[0145_KB1-24.jpg]] *After Kāliya was defeated and banished, night was falling and the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana decided to sleep on the riverbank.

When we stimulate our original love for Kṛṣṇa, that love expands out into this world and beyond and becomes an expression of our eternal nature.* <h3>Seeing Aristasura, the Gopis Embrace Tamala Trees</h3> ![[0158_NOD-p240.jpg]] *“Seeing the fearful giant bull, the gopīs, due to the madness of love, embrace the tamāla trees, which resemble Kṛṣṇa’s bodily hue.” The gopīs are the most intimate devotees of Kṛṣṇa and exhibit highest love of God. Sometimes the intensity of their love causes them to act in transcendental madness.* <h3>Krsna in the Coils of the Kaliya Serpent</h3> ![[0159_NOD--535.jpg]] *“When Kṛṣṇa was chastising Kāliya Nāga in the Yamunā River, the big snake wrapped his coils all over Kṛṣṇa’s body.” Kṛṣṇa performed this pastime in order to increase the ecstatic spiritual emotions of His devotees, who felt unlimited transcendental anxiety for His safety.

Sometimes Nanda Mahārāja would ask Kṛṣṇa to bring him his wooden slippers, and Kṛṣṇa, with great difficulty, would put the slippers on His head and take them to His father. At such times Nanda Mahārāja would exclaim, “My dear Yaśodā, just look at your offspring, Kṛṣṇa!
