Stealer of Hearts
Volume 2 Issue 18 Oct 2004 Cover Story
 


When the Gopis heard Krishna was ill and that the dust of their feet might cure Him, they shook the dust off their feet and filled his hands with the same without a second thought. By the time Narada reached Dwaraka, the headache had gone. It was just a five-day drama, to teach that self-condemnation is also egoism and that the Lord’s command must be obeyed without demur, by all Bhaktas.

There was an occasion when Krishna laid His flute aside and declared that He would not play on it again. It is a long story, not found in books; I alone must tell you about it, for it is only the Person who has experienced it, that can describe it.

A bride called Neeraja came to Gokulam as the daughter-in-law of a Gopa family. Her husband and parents-in-law warned her against Krishna and His pranks and threatened her, on pain of dire punishment, to keep away from Him and to avoid Him by every possible means.
