Hare Krishna dear devotees,
We all have that one Krishna pastime which instantly melts the heart, the kind that brings a smile even on difficult days. It might be something mischievous from Krishna’s childhood in Vṛndāvan, a tender moment with Mother Yaśodā, a playful interaction with the gopas, a deep instruction from the Bhagavad-gītā, or even a small detail that personally resonates with our own journey.
Some pastimes make us laugh, some fill us with awe, and some remind us of Krishna’s overflowing compassion and sweetness.
So I wanted to ask all the devotees here:
Which pastime of Lord Krishna always brings joy to your heart, the one you never get tired of hearing? And why does it touch you so much?
Would love to hear your reflections. Sharing these gems often inspires others and rejuvenates our own bhakti as well.

Hare Krishna, Govind Sharan,
For me, the pastime that always brings a smile is Krishna stealing butter with his little friends in Vṛndāvan. The way he mischievously climbs into houses, finds the butter, and shares it with his friends never fails to melt my heart. It reminds me of his playful, loving nature and how even small acts can be full of sweetness and joy. Every time I hear this story, it fills me with a lighthearted happiness and gratitude for Krishna’s divine pastimes.
