Visiting Gokulam to see Lord Shiva's little Krishna:

***********


When Lord Shiva was meditating, in the house of Nanda Maharaja, he found that the lord of all lords had now appeared in Vraja. So on the twelfth day of Lord Krishna's birth, Lord Shiva decided to go to Gokul to see Lord Krishna.


Demonstrating this horrible look, he entered Gokul and went to his mother Yashoda's house and knocked on the door.
"Bhiksham de hi". Yashoda, who is always generous to visit the beds, said, "Wait outside. I will bring you a gift. "
Lord Shiva said, “No, no, I do not want gifts. I'm here to see your son. "
After hearing the visitors' request, mother Yashoda said, “No, you cannot see him. Whatever you want, you can have. I see that you are hungry and need clothing.

Lord Shiva replied, "No, no, I have everything. Please allow me only one second to see your son." Mother Yashoda, hearing Shiva's plea, said, "Take what I give you and go before your snakes and the scorpions will come here.  Please understand that my child is too small and afraid of your clothes, so please go." Lord Shiva said, "I will not go until I see your son." .

Then the mother Yashoda said, "You can sit here as long as you want, but you cannot see my son."
Lord Shiva said, “I can sit here for tens of thousands of years. One day, when your son grows up, when you are not in control, I will see him. "
Then mother Yashoda said, “O Babaji, if you sit here for ten thousand years, I will close this gate for twenty thousand years. Do not challenge me. My lovely son is my life. "

Meanwhile, Krishna lying on the bed knew what was going on outside the door.
He wanted his two devotees to fight over him because he wanted to prove to everyone that devotees who are in the mental state of parental love are greater than those who are in the mental state of servants.

Both have useless love for Krishna, but the state of mind of parental love is more closely related than the state of mind of the servants. Therefore, Lord Shiva had to surrender to mother Yashoda in this conflict.

After losing at the hands of Yashoda, Lord Shiva's mother said to Yashoda, "O Lady, you will soon call me to see your son." Mother Yashoda said, “You go. I will not call you. You can take what you want, but never ask me to see my baby again. "

Lord Shiva then departed from Yashoda's house. He reached the banks of the river Yamuna. His best devotee Shiva left the unsatisfied house and started crying and Krishna realized that no one could stop him.

Then, a wise Gopi mother named Lalita came to Yashoda and asked if anyone had left the house.
Mother Yashoda said, “Yes, a mendicant came, I wanted to give him what he wanted, but he only wanted to see my baby. He took nothing and was not satisfied. "
Then Lalit said, “A saint should never leave one’s house satisfactorily. This is the curse that haunts your child and all of us ”. Lalita then went in search of the saint, found him and brought him back home.

The crying baby Krishna was handed over to his mother Yashoda Shiva.
As soon as Lord Shiva received Krishna, he stopped crying, opened his eyes and saw Lord Shiva, his pure devotee.
Lord Shiva placed Krishna on his lap and said, “Lord of the universe, Supreme Controller, it is very difficult to know how you will act later. Can't imagine that the Lord who could not be seen by meditating for thousands of years is now acting like a cohort lady child! Only you, as the parent can know for sure. No one else will. Lord, I pay my respects to you. "

After saying this, Lord Shiva took the small feet of the Lord and touched His head, chanting the Gopala Sahasranama hymn "A thousand names of the Lord". Seeing this, mother Yashoda said, “Baba (father), look at your snakes. My baby is very young. On  hearing this, Lord Shiva realized the supremacy of his mother Yashoda Bhakti and understood why Krishna appeared as his son. If one is a true devotee of Krishna, Krishna will undoubtedly manifest to him.
