Krishna who accepts the results of all sacrifices was laughing and joking enjoying lunch with his friends in Vrndavana and thus the scene was being observed by the demigods from heaven.
At that time the calves that were pasturing nearby entered into the deep forest allured by new green grasses and gradually went out of sight; when the boys saw that the calves were not nearby they became afraid for their safety and they immediately cried out, “Krsna!”. Krsna did not want his friends to give up their pleasing lunch engagement and go searching for the calves he therefore said, “my dear friends, you need not interrupt your lunch go on enjoying. I am going personally to find the calves.” Krsna still carrying the lump of yogurt and rice in his left hand and started to search for calves looking in the bushes, caves, mountain holes and forests but nowhere could he find them.
When the Aghasura demon was killed by Krsna at that time the demigods were looking on the incident with great surprise also at that time Brahmaji also came to see the episode of killing Aghasura; he was very much surprised that how a little boy Krsna could act so wonderfully. Although he was informed that Krsna is the supreme person Bramaji wanted to see more of the Lords glorious pastimes and thus he stole all the calves first and when Krsna return to the spot of lunch taking place all the cowherd boy friends were gone. Krsna (the Supreme Personality Of Godhead) immediately understand that its the activity of Brahma who had stole them. Than Krsna thought Brahma has taken all the boys and the calves how can I alone return to Vrndavana, the mothers will be aggrieved. Therefore in order to satisfy the mothers of his friends as well as to convince Brahma of his position, Krsna immediately expanded himself as the cowherd boys and calves in same numbers as they were before. He expanded in different features, facial and bodily constructions, clothing, behaviour,and personal activities, and he also expanded to the same amount of calves, he became those lost cows also in different sizes, colours and activities.
So surrounded by such expansions of himself Krsna entered the village of Vrndavana were the residents had no knowledge of what had happened, so now all the calves and cowherd boys were Krsna himself and so at this time every single mothers and fathers of cowherd boys were experiencing same bliss and happiness with their children as they experience with Krsna alone; and same thing happened to all the mother cows too.
After one year passed which is but one moment in the time of Brahmas returning to see the fun that let me go and see how Krsna is doing without his calves and cowherds friends. There Brahma saw that all the calves and cowherd friends of Krsna were playing with Krishna in the same way as before although he was confident that he had taken them and made them lie down asleep under the spell of his mystic power. Brahma began to think I took them away and I know they are still sleeping how is it that a similar batch of boys and calves are playing with Krsna; Are they not influenced by my mystic power, have they being playing for one year with Krsna. He could not ascertain it so he himself came under the spell of his own mystic power.
In order to convince Brahma that all those calves and boys are not the original ones the calves and boys who were playing with Krishna transformed into Visnu forms as the original ones were sleeping under the spell of Brahmas mystic power, and the present ones seen by Brahma were all immediate expansions of Krsna or Visnu.
After one year later when Brahma comes to see the situation of Krishna and when he saw another batch of calves and cowherd boys who were expansion of Krsna himself at this time Krsna performed another pastimes according to the acarya’s “that Krsna asked Nanda Baba and mother Yasoda that this is the best time for all the little gopas who were Krsna to merry with little gopis and they did” so on the one side Krishna bewilders Brahma by expanding into so many calves and cowherd boys and on the other side he Answers to all the humans who criticise Krishna that “How can Krsna the god can enjoy with unmarried gopis” No? he already merry them when he expanded into so many gopas in Brahmas stealing programme. As mentioned the gopis who were married who were engage in cooking for their husband as soon as they hear the sound of the flute of Krishna they immediately leave them behind and ran to be with Krishna even the children and their husbands and older family members they do not care [bhakti pareshan bhava virakthi anyatraca]; If a person develops bhava bhakti he unvisions the material cares and when in this situation they all ran for Krsna after hearing the flute due to high esteemed love each gopis began to think that Krsna is only with me, at that point Krsna to break down their pride he disappeared from them,.[KRSNA IS MOST RE-NOUNCED] although he remains in the midst of all opulence but in a moment he can be disappeared and remain renounced.
Krsna is most beautiful [Venum kuantam aravindam-dalayatak-sam--barhavatasam asitambuda-sundarangam--kandarpa-koti -kaminiya-visesa -sobham-govindam adi- purusham tam-ham bhajami] His sobha was so eminent [FAMOUS] that every living being got attracted and millions of cupid just admire Krsna’s beauty. The situation became so serious that all the gopis began complaining to brahma that why did you made our blinking eye, because even one fraction of time we cannot bare our sight to Krsna the blinking of our eyes hinders seeing Krsna. Srila Prabhupada explains that Srila Rupa Goswami says that if anyone is attached to their family, wealth, business or land, than please do not go to the bank of river Yamuna to have a darshan of SHYAMSUNDAR/ But if you do so than you’ll forget all your temporary unreal wealth. Somehow coming to Krishna Consciousness if complain appears in the mind that I will not be very serious for Krsna because if I do so than what will happen to my material wealth, family,friends and so on.
[AREE BABA] Ananyas cintayanto mam ,ye janah paryupasate-tesam niyabhiyuktanam, yoga-ksemam vahamy aham. Those who always worship me with exclusive devotion, meditating on my transcendental form- to them I carry what they lack, and I preserve what they have. Krsna, means, everything or anything you need or you have it which is conducive to devotional practice, I will supply you, what else do you need? A vedic mantra [YAT VISVATI SRUTIN UTTEDAM ALAM PUNATI] that through the veda shastras the fame of Sri Krishna purifies the whole universe and his pastimes are those who makes the impossible into possible.
Once, mother Devaki when her six young infant were killed by Kamsa, who were those children? In previous life in different yugas whenever Krsna appears; in one day of Brahma Krsna comes ones and these children ones they came they were the sons of [Marichi] and when second time they came as the sons of [Kalenemi] But, when they the sons of Marichi in previous lives ,When [Raja] the king Svambhumanu was ruling the kingdom. At that time this Prajapati marichi gave birth to six children so these six children were the demigods and their mother was [Purna devi] the mother of these demigods. But in one birth they were [Demons]. When Brahma was creating this universe and gave birth to every living being he is considered the father of everyone, But being a father of everyone Once when he didn’t hear the whole Bhagavat Katha of the lord at that time Brahma became bewildered by maya and he saw his own daughter in a wrong way, so at that time these six demigods criticized and laughed at Brahma and they commented that look at this Brahma the creator and the biggest demigod caught up in this kind of bad thoughts towards her own daughter. So in the Gita it explains that [Api-cet su -duracaro,bhajate mam ananya-bhak-sadhur eva sa mantavyah-samyag vyavasito hi sah] Even one commits the most abominable action if he is engaged in devotional service he is to be considered saintly, so due to their offence to Brahma who is the top most demigods. Even the demigods sometimes do mistakes and if they repent and improve their mistakes and if someone’s still criticize them that’s a [Sadhu Ninda] and its a great offence, so due to offending Brahmaji they were being [Cursed] That in next life they will take birth through the womb of mother Devaki and will be killed by Kamsa one by one………..
