Story of Lord Krishna

Story of Lord Krishna - SRIMAD BHAGAVATA by Krsna-Dwaipayana Vyasa

Overturning of the Cart



1. When mother Yasoda's baby Krsna was slanting His body to attempt to rise and turn around, this attempt was observed by a Vedic ceremony. In such a ceremony, called utthana, the child is properly bathed. Just after Krsna turned three months old, mother Yasoda celebrated this ceremony with other women of the neighbourhood.

2. After completion of the bath, Yasoda found that her child closed His eyes in sleep and so she put Him to bed under a cart which contained vessels full of milk and curd. After some time, the child opened His eyes and cried for His milk. As Yasoda was busily engaged in receiving her guests, she did not hear Sri Krishna’s cry.

3. At that time, the child Krsna, demanding to drink the milk of His mother's breast, angrily threw His legs upward. Although His little legs were as soft as leaves, when He struck the cart with His legs, it turned over violently and collapsed. The wheels separated from the axle, the hubs and spokes fell apart, and the pole of the
handcart broke. All the vessels scattered hither and thither.

4. When mother Yasoda and the other ladies who had assembled for the utthana festival, and all the men, headed by Nanda Maharaja, saw the wonderful situation, they began to wonder how the handcart had collapsed by itself. They began to wander here and there, trying to find the cause, but were unable to do so.

5. At that time, the small children present asserted that the cart had been kicked apart by the baby Krsna. As soon as the crying baby had kicked the cart's wheel, the cart had collapsed.

6. The assembled gopis and gopas, unaware that Krsna is always unlimited, could not believe that baby Krsna had such inconceivable power. They could not believe the statements of the children, and therefore they neglected these statements as being childish talk. They did not realise the immeasurable strength of that child.

  • Jai Sri Krishna!
  • Thank you Mataji for giving me Strength as well by giving this lovely story about Krishna and as we all know Lord Krishna have always perfom unbelievable things where challenges and challenges have been surrounded around Lord Krishna birth and Mahabharata have proven to us all where warriors like Pandevas even could not dare to fight without Lord Krishna and kaurvas were laughing by looking at Lord Krishna and his small army where kaurvas, Mama Shakuni even had spacecraft so what almighty power they had and yet they were defeated and finally they realised what Lord really is. Arjuna realised after Mahabharata victory when Lord Krishna had to leave the Pandvas and Arjuna was defeated by one cowherds boy in Latthi Yudhh, that he won the Mahabharata war because Lord Krishna with him and now Lord Krishna not with him so power he had was no use so cowherd boy was the tools to make Arjuna realised what he is missing in his life. Hare Krishna
