If problems occur in Vrndavana, Krsna is the one who solves them. But, the Vrajavasis, because of their vatsalya-bhava and mamata, pray to Mahadeva Siva.
Only by listening to harikata is it possible to have the darsana of the Deity.
Brahmanda Ghata. Krsna put a handful of earth in His mouth, and what Mother Yasoda saw in Krsna’s mouth.
Mother Yasoda never thinks that Krsna is God, absorbed in vatsalya-bhava, when she sees something unusual, she thinks it is the evil eye or a ghost.
Devaki and Vasudeva, when they saw Krsna, paid obeisances.
Yasoda Mayi performs a ritual to protect her son Krsna, with urine and cow dung, while the brahmanas chant mantras.
When the holy names are chanted, everything that is inauspicious goes away.
The sakhas said: Krsna you are impure, how Nanda and Yasoda can be Your parents, You are blackened.
Someone abandoned you! Krsna starts crying. He goes to Yashoda’s mother, who puts her hand on His head and tells Him: – I am Your mother.
Controversy over who are Krsna’s parents: Nanda and Yasoda or Devaki and Vasudeva? Our Acaryas say: Yasoda Mayi and Nanda Maharaja are the parents of Krsna.
Dambhanda-lila, Krsna is tied to the pestle and frees the two sons of Kuvera.
Raval is the place of appearance of Srimati Radhika, it is therefore the most prominent.
In Raval are the lands of Vrsabhanu Maharaja, and in Gokula, the lands of Nanda Maharaja.
Vrsabhanu Maharaja is going to bathe in the Yamuna, when he sees, lying on a beautiful lotus flower, a beautiful baby with refulgent shine, Srimati Radhika.
Radha has Her eyes closed, because She stated that She would only open Her eyes to see Krsna.
Lohavam, pastime that Krsna crosses Radha and the Gopis across the Yamuna river, as a boatman.
