Krishna Leelas-3

‘My true being is unborn and changeless. I am the Lord who dwells in every creature. Through the power of maya, I manifest myself in a finite form’

Episode 15

So many miracles, where to start and which ones to talk about? There is no end to HIS miracles. 

Some miracles in which Adithya was a part of…

Krishna splits into four forms and accompanies Kalpana’s family members wherever they are or go. If anyone in the family is going out, He always goes along with them. And when everyone is at home or going out together, He merges into one form and entertains them.

 How blessed is this family that Krishna accompanies them everywhere.

So whenever Adithya goes to school, Krishna also is in school. Although He does not want to study --- He is too small a baby to study--- He always loves to go to school with Adithya.

And He also loves to accompany Malavika to her college wearing Konakam (waist cloth) of different colours. Mostly He loves wearing Gold konakam. Sometimes he wears a pink skirt. He says He loves pink as girls will be attracted towards that color. Krishna … naughty Kanna…

Most of Dubai schools have swimming lessons as part of the extracurricular activities till grade 6 or 7. Children have to take part compulsorily in the weekly swimming classes.

Once when Adithya was in the pool, all his friends were wonder-struck to see something amazing.

Adithya was not in the water but…

Standing on top of the water!  Adithya could see Bhagavan lifting him up from the water, but what do the other children know... they thought Adithya was performing a trick on them.

Adithya, one day while going to school, requested Kalpana to pack bread and Nutella for lunch.

But as mothers, we already have a plan set for each day on what to pack for school. If children at the last minute request a completely different snack, that too just before going to school, naturally the mother gets irritated. 

Kalpana also reacted in the same way. She had already prepared Appam and curry and hence declined his request and said that she was packing what she had prepared. 

Naturally, in the hurry to catch the school bus, Adithya just picked up his packed lunch box and left for school.

After coming home, he happily thanked Kalpana for her surprise of bread and Nutella.

Kalpana was shocked and said ‘What? I packed Appam and curry for you, not bread’. However, when she opened the box there was no trace of the Appam or curry that she had packed, instead, surprisingly, saw crumbs of bread. 

Who takes care of His beloved Chetta (elder brother)?

One of the boys in Adithya’s class used to get chicken every day in his lunch box. One day at lunch time when the boy opened his box what did he see??

His lunch box was empty…

Being a kid, he started crying, saying someone ate his lunch. Poor boy, what does he know, who took it?? 

After some time, some of the children observed that there were chicken pieces lying in the dustbin.

When Kalpana asked Krishna why he was naughty, the reply was...

‘It is not good to eat chicken every day. So I threw it Amma’.
 

"While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment for them, and from such attachment lust develops, and from lust anger arises. 
From anger, complete delusion arises, and from delusion bewilderment of memory. When memory is bewildered, intelligence is lost, and when intelligence is lost one falls down again into the material pool.

 

Krishna does not like selfishness. An incident in Adithya’s life is a perfect example…

Once a child brought some cinema tickets to school. As is the natural tendency of children to show off, the child also started boasting and making fun of the other children ‘Oh!! See here, I have tickets for the movies. I would be watching it before you all.’ 

Suddenly what did he see???

The tickets in his hand were in pieces…

Now who tore them??

When Kalpana questioned Krishna, can you guess the answer???

‘Why does he have to boast? I don’t like it. That is why I tore them into pieces. Good for him’. 

Once the teacher was writing on the board. She had to erase something which needed to be corrected. She had kept the duster on the table. She looked back to pick it up but could not find it. She searched everywhere near the black board, under the table… and asked the children if they had seen it.

Aditya could see where the duster was….

It was in the dustbin where Krishna had put it.

Aditya was too scared to tell the teacher, lest she thinks it was he who threw it in the dustbin.

Finally after searching everywhere the teacher found it where Krishna dropped it. She was very upset with the kids and was enquiring ‘who put it there?’ Now who will answer this question???

On another occasion….

One can imagine how naughty boys can be that too when it is only boys section.

One of the kids while playing threw ink from the pen on to Aditya. We all did play this game, didn’t we??  What happened was so shocking, the kid was stunned for a while and was behind Aditya asking him how he had done it.

What happened???

When the boy threw the ink, all the drops of ink fell down in front of Aditya as if they hit a glass of wall. All of them fell in a straight line in front of Aditya. Not even a drop fell on Aditya’s shirt. 

‘Pleasures conceived in the world of the senses have a beginning and an end and give birth to misery, Arjuna. The wise do not look for happiness in them. But those who overcome the impulses of lust and anger which arise in the body are made whole and live in joy. They find their joy, their rest, and their light completely within themselves. United with the Lord, they attain nirvana in Brahman.’
