Yashoda accepts Krishna as God

[Guest guest]

> Please may I know when Yashodamayi accepted Krishna as God?

 

Actually Mother Yasoda never thought of Krishna as God, otherwise the whole

rasa between Krishna and her will be disturbed. When Uddhava came to

Vrindavan after being asked by Krishna to go and give consolation to the

Brajabasis who were having intense feelings of separation from Him, after He

left for Mathura, Uddhava tried to console Nanda Maharaja and Yasoda Mata by

tell them them Krishna is the Supreme Lord, that they should not lament

etc., immediately, Nanda Maharaja cut short Uddhava's preachings by

admonishing him that he is unintelligent. Nanda Maharaja was telling Uddhava

that how could Krishna be God, when often times He would run to Him and sits

on his lap, becuase He was afraid of something. This way Nanda Maharaja

would recount so many of Krishna's childhood lila, and would lost in intense

feelings of separation from his son. Uddhava had to leave the palace of

Nanda Maharaja when he discovered that he could not give any consolation to

them.

 

Also whenever Yasoda sees some wonderful manifestation of Krishna such as

seeing the whole universe in the mouth of Krishna, when Krishna openend His

mouth to Yasoda who wanted to see whether krishna had eaten dirt, Mother

Yasoda simply thought that maybe some ghost had attacked Krishna or

something, or that she was simply imagining things. So at any other time did

Yasoda Mata ever thought of Krishna as God, or even if she thought Krishna

is God, she would think that her child is great, that He is even God. There

is never any feelings of surbodination on her part to Krishna. We can

understand these facts from the writings of the acaryas.
