The brajwasi say, Krsna was born in Vrindavan and Mathura. Mother Yashoda gave birth to twins - Krsna and Yogamaya. When Vasudeva took Krishna from the prison cell, Krsna merged with the Krishna in Vrindavan and then vasudeva brought back yogamaya. Krsna never steps out of Vrindavan and whenver he has to step out of Vrindavan, that is just a plenary expansion of Krsna. The VASUDEV expansion of Krsna does all the activities out of Vrindavan. The Shyamsundar for of Krsna is the original Krsna staying in Vrindavan.
Mother Yashoda was in labor pains and when she woke up a beautiful baby boy Krsna is next to her, she was in total ecstacy. They were drona and daya in the last life, they were pure devotees and they wanted to serve Krsna as his parents. They wanted to witness the bal leela and experience vatsalya bhav with the supreme lord. Krsna fulfilled their desires.
Nanda maharaj and Yashoda mataji were actually elderly couple and they hadn't had a child for a long time. But when they had Krsna and he was so charming, everybody was so happy for them. Nanda maharaj immediately after hearing about Krsna gave away so many things in charity and then he did Nandamahotsav. Nandbhavan song - Nand Ke Anand BhayoJai Kanhiya Lal Ki....Hence it was a celebration seeing Krsna same way our chanting is a celebration, celebrating Krsna.
At Kamsa's palace, he was killing the 8th child - Yogamaya and yogamaya said the child already has been born. The deamon is always insurce. He always wanted to get his material sense gratification. Then, he wanted to kill all the children born around that time. How ruthless can deamons become just to protect themselves. Just for your own sake they can effortlessly kill anybody. Kamsa wants to kill all the children.
He called one of the great deamoness Putana. She was a witch called Kethchadi. They fly in the sky and can assume any form and are very deadly. Just by sight they can kill little children. So all the little children where killed by Putana around the earth. After killing all the children she came to the house of Nanda maharaj. Somehow or other I have to trick all these gopis. She put poison on her breasts and assumed a very pretty form. Then she came and picked up baby Krsna. He actually closed his eyes.
The acharyas say - why Krsna closed his eyes when Putana picked up her. The first deamon to be killed by Krsna is she is a woman. Another reason they have given is Krsna closed his eyes because he didn't want to see her form. Then when he was nursed, he took out the life air from her. Then Putana assumed her gigantic form and then fell on the outskirts of Vrindavan. She covered 12 miles of area. Her body was like a huge mountain. Her abdomen was like a valley. Then they burned Putana's body by cutting her body in lots of places. Fragrant smell came on burning the body - because Krsna had touched her body. Putana attained Goloka Vrindavan and she got the position of a nurse as a mother.
wHEN Shukadeva gosvami heard this - alas how fortunate is the sitter of baka who was allowed to be killed by Krsna. Even though she wanted to kill Krsna, Krsna gave her the ultimate gati in the spiritual world because she had vatsalya bhav - she wanted to feede him. Krsna only saw the +ve in her as she wanted to be my mother. This is the merciful nature of Krsna. Such amazing lord we have.
Putana was the sister of Bali maharaj. She became attracted to Vaman dev and wanted to be mother of Vaman dev. But when Vaman dev tricked Bali maharaj, she became very angry and wanted to harm Krsna. Hence, she became a deamon.
Hence, we should be close to Krsna, because he will overlook all our sins and will take us back home, back to Godhead. Without SP, we didn't get to know all this or understood what these slokas meant and hence this is all given to us by SP. He changed the course of our life. SP changed the direction from hellish planet of our life and allowed us to go back to Krsna. Hence, we should feel very humble and fortunate to have come in contact with devotees only by the mercy of SP.
We can never thank SP enough, we should only reciprocate to SP by reading his books everyday. Our way to say thank you to SP is to follow what he said and only increase it on a regular basis - that is the only way to reciprocate with him. That is the only way by following him, chanting 16 rounds and more, read his books.
Every year we should take inventory of our heart and see what services are we doing for SP and his mission and what we want to do in the coming year.
Jai Srila Prabhupada!
