Old
lady as a fruit seller : Krsna Innocence story
Once
a fruit seller very old lady came calling loudly so that someone may buy her fruits.
The day was tough in the manner that not a single fruit was sold today and poor
old lady was feeling helpless and tired. Krsna came and asked the old
lady why she has come. She said that she is a fruit seller. Krsna said I will
buy all your fruits. She said that you will have to give me money for it. Krsna
asked her.... what money is. Tears of joy came pouring out of her eyes;
she said that you are too innocent son. She said you don’t know the meaning of money,
you see you will have to give me something against these fruits. Krsna asked
what does against means. She started crying more profusely. She explained you have
to give something if you take something from somebody. Understanding the
meaning of against ---- as giving something for something, so krsna walked with
an endearing smile and sat down on the lap of the old lady saying that you can
take me in place of fruits. Now now now, the old lady was full of tears of joy
and she felt the divine energy all through her body, she was happier than ever
content and satisfied. krsna than stepped down and said he will be back soon.
Krsna came back with some food grains in his tiny palms , krsna could hardly
hold that little quantity of food grains , and grains falling on the floor in
the process all the way . Krsna smiled and gave her the grains and she covered
them with cloth and gave krsna the fruits. And went to her home saying to
herself what a great satisfaction I had this is the best business deal of my
life, and as she uncovered the cloth she found that the empty fruit basket was
full of precious jewels. So that’s a point if we give something to krsna
selflessly krsna gives it back many folds .one day krsna was playing along with
his brother balrama and friends along the banks of river yamuna
and it was noon . So balramas mother rohini came to call them back but
since they were enjoying so much so they continued playing. So rohini went back
and told yashoda and so yashoda came all alone all the way and said to krsna
that nanda is waiting for him for lunch, and so krsna agreed to go along with
balarama . All their friends said to them why you both are going home in-between
when the game was half way and everybody was having so much fun. And next time
we won’t allow you to play with us .so krsna got frightened by the threats of
their friends and so they started playing again with them. Yashoda told
krsna that your father is waiting for you for breakfast , moreover all your
friends are well dressed because its your birthday and you have to come home
now have a bath and dress up , because later on there is a celebration
where you have to donate cows . Later on you can play. So both
krsna and balrama came back home and so both of them were given bath and
dressed well and celebrated birthday and donated cows. Nandas brother
opnanda suggested that even there is terror of evil demons terrorized
innocent villagers so due to regular attacks of demons it’s better to move out
as there was threat to new born and infants .
So they took along all their
belongings on their bullock cart. Soon time passed and krsna balrama used to
talk in a broken its bitsy manner, now taking cows for grazing. They used to
play with round jungle fruits as a replacement of ball, sometimes they would
adorn the blanket and act as a cow and calf. Once they were playing and a demon
came in disguise of a calf to kill krsna and his friends. But krsna recognized
the demon and told balarama about the demon. So both of them held the front and
hind feet of the demon calf and banged him very hard against a big tree
and died immediately .on another day krsna and his friends went near yamuna
along with cows so that they may drink water .they all drank water then they
saw a huge bird and everbody got shocked and extremely fearful .that bird was a
demon called bakasura another friend of kansa . All the friends of krsna
were standing shocked and lifeless. And when bakasura was swallowing krsna
there was a burning sensation in the demons throat. Krsna held the large beak of
the demon and broke it into two. All the demigods rained the sweet smelling
divine flowers .all the friends were very delighted .when they came back home
they started singing the past times of krsna . Remembering all the demon
attacks on krsna and also the forecast of saint garga which were all becoming true.
Hare krsna .
