Mother Yasoda Binds Lord Krsna
1. One day when mother Yasoda saw that all the maidservants were engaged in other household affairs, she personally began to churn the yogurt.

Once Sri Nanda Maharaja, Sri Yasoda and the other gopas and gopis took Krsna and Balarama with them on a journey to the Ganga to take bath. That night, they rested near Govardhana.

He remembered Ganga-devi, and at once Bhagavati Bhagirathi-Ganga's strong current brought her to the spot, making a sweet sound. At the head of this current was Sri Ganga-devi, mounted on an alligator. This darsana as

Song by Jayadeva Gosvami
Krsna was dancing in the forest bower. He was immersed in joyful pastimes with beautiful young gopis, who were receiving him with the utmost respect. Radha was blinded by love for Krsna and enchanted to the point of bewilderment. Directly before the attractive eyes of the other radiant cowherd maidens, who were overwhelmed with love in the rasa-lila, Radha tightly embraced Krsna’s chest. W
