Remembering Krsna by singing His poeticized lilas

[Guest guest]

Here's a nice quote quite suitable for Damodara month.

 

 

 

While churning the butter, mother Yasoda was singing about the childhood

activities of Krsna. It was formerly a custom that if one wanted to remember

something constantly, he would transform it into poetry or have this done by

a professional poet. It appears that mother Yasoda did not want to forget

Krsna's activities at any time. Therefore she poeticized all of Krsna's

childhood activities, such as the killing of Putana, Aghasura, Sakatasura

and Trnavarta, and while churning the butter, she sang about these

activities in poetical form. This should be the practice of persons eager to

remain Krsna conscious twenty-four hours a day. This incident shows how

Krsna conscious mother Yasoda was. To stay in Krsna consciousness, we should

follow such persons.
