Mother Yasoda's Breast

[Guest guest]

YASODA’S BREAST

 

 

 

[Having heard of the great fortune of

mother Yasoda, Parikshit Maharaja inquired

from Sukadev Goswami:]

 

O learned

brahmana, mother Yasoda’s breast milk was

sucked by the Supreme Personality of

Godhead. What past auspicious activities did

she and Nanda Maharaja perform to achieve

such perfection in ecstatic love?

 

— Bhag. 10.8.46.

 

 

 

All glories to Lord Krishna who,

grasping the

conchshell with both hands,

placing it to His

lotus mouth, and blowing it,

remembers how

He once drank the breast-milk of mother Yasoda

and becomes stunned and motionless!

 

— Srila Rupa Goswami’s Lalita Madhava act 5 text 69.
