Story of Lord Krishna - SRIMAD BHAGAVATA by Krsna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
The Killing of the Demons Kesi and Vyoma
1. The demon Kesi, sent by Kamsa, appeared in Vraja as a great horse. Running with the speed of the mind, he tore up the earth with his hooves. The hairs of his mane scattered the clouds and the demigods’ airplanes throughout the sky, and he terrified everyone present with his loud neighing. When the supreme Personality of Godhead saw how the demon was frightening His village of Gokula by ne

One day, Sri Radha and Her sakhis were picking flowers here when Krsna suddenly arrived and said,"Who are you? Everyday, you steal floweres from My garden."
Hearing this, Srimati Radhika rebuked Him,"You don't know who I am?".
Saying no more, Krsna placed His flute to His lips and began to play, casting charming glances at Radha as He walked away. The very sight of Krsna leaving greatly distressed Radha, who fainted in seperation from Him
Mangalacarana verse of Bhagavat_arca_marici_mala by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura.
O my Lord, Sri Krsna, son of Vasudeva, O all-pervading Personality of Godhead, I offer my respectful obeisances unto You. I meditate upon Lord Sri Krsna because He is the Absolute Truth and the primeval cause of all causes of the creation, sustenance and destruction of the manifested universes. He is directly and indirectly conscious of all manifestations, and He is independent because there is no other cause beyond H
Sri Radhe-Krsna's playful pastimes (vihara) - Lalita-kunda
Once, Krsna warned Srimati Radhika to be cautious of Devarsi Narada. "Devarsi is a sage whose nature is very complicated," He said. "Sometimes he causes disputes between father and son, mother and father or husband and wife. It is best to always be cautious of him." But Srimatiji did not take particular heed of Krsna's words.
And so it happened that one day Lalita picked beli, cameli, and other flowers from the forest and began to string

Mind, Body, and Home
(from saranagati)
Mind, body, and family, whatever may be mine, I have surrendered at Your lotus feet, O youthful son of Nanda!(1)
In good fortune or in bad, in life or at death, all my difficulties have disappeared by choosing those feet of Yours as my only shelter.(2)
Slay me or protect me as You wish, for You are the master of Your eternal servant.(3)
If it is Your will that I be born again, then may it be in the home of Your devotee.(4)
May I be born again even

Sri Radhe-Krsna's playful pastimes (vihara) - Javata
One day, Sri Krsna could not meet with Radhika because She was in mana. He became most agitated in separation from Her, so on the advice of Visakha, He disguised himself as a brahmana student. He donned a sacred thread across His shoulder and wooden shoes on His feet. Carrying a begging bowl and staff in His hands and a book under His arm, He arrived at the door of Jatila's house in Javata and began begging by calling out God's name. Since it w

A Prayer to Lord Krishna
I offer pranama to Sri Nandanandana (the son of Nanda Maharaja, Krishna), whose face is extremely delightful, from whose beautiful ears hang jewelled earrings, and whose entire body is anointed with fragrant candana.
I offer pranama to Sri Nandanandana, whose eyes are more beautiful than the fully-bloomed lotus, whose head is beautifully adorned with an arrangement of peacock feathers, and who enchants millions of Cupids.
