  NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM 46 (Yashoda sees the universe in the mouth of baby Krishna) Click here to listen to Narayaneeyam Dashakam 46 Once Krishna after taking a feed from Yashoda, was lying flat on back on her lap. He yawned and for a moment, Yashoda saw the entire universe in his mouth.  Later, Krishna was playing with his friends. He plucked fruits promising to share them with his friends but cheated them by eating all of them. Angered friends came to Mother Yasodha and complained that Krishna ate mud.  Lord consumes the earth, water and everything during pralaya or deluge. If he eats mud, nothing can happen to him. However, Yashoda is innocent of the fact that Krishna is the Lord himself and fears that he will fall sick if he eats mud and gets angry for the act. She repeatedly asked Krishna if he had eaten mud, but Krishna smilingly denied it again and again, very assertively. Yashoda told Krishna that Balarama and their friends were confirming that he had eaten mud. Sh...

They were interested in hearing the rhythmic sound made by their anklets put in their beautiful lotus flower-like legs and crawled with great briskness. The duo smiled exposing their beautiful new teeth, hair locks falling on their faces and the lotus-like feet, armlets slipping down to the wrists, becoming like bracelets were very attractive for the onlookers.

  NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 44 - KRISHNA NAAMAKARANAM Click here to listen to Narayaneeyam Dasakam 44 Vasudeva wanted to perform a naming ritual for the baby. So at his request, Garga Muni, an expert in Hora shastras visited Nandagopan's house. Nandagopan welcomed the sage and honoured him ceremoniously. Garga Muni told Nandagopan that he was Acharyar for Yadhu vamsham and planned to secretly conduct the naming ceremony. Lord has more than a thousand names, amongst that which name to select? Garga Muni had this apprehension for some time, then secretly called the child Krishna. Krish meant existence and Na meant the connection between existence and absolute bliss form. Krishna also meant the one who removes the sin of all. He also gave a few other names including Vaasudevan, without actually revealing that the child Krishna is Sri Hari himself. He named the elder brother as Rama (Bala Rama). Garga Muni told Nandagopan that whoever is devoted to his son Krishna will never suffer and wh...

  Narayaneeyam Dasakam: 43 -- Slaying of Trinavarta Click here to listen to Narayaneeyam Dashakam 43 One day Yashodha was carrying baby Krishna on her lap. Suddenly she felt the baby Krishna was too heavy for her, to carry on her lap and left him on the bed. She was worried of the baby and kept praying for its welfare to God constantly while attending to her household chores. Then they heard a deafening sound raising dust all through the atmosphere. Demon Trinavarta came in the form of whirlwind and carried Krishna, the one who carries away the mind of people, amidst the envelope of dust and rose upward.  The dust caused darkness in the entire Gokulam. Gopas and gopikas lost clear vision and mother Yashoda searched for her baby in that darkness. Not finding Krishna, she cried loudly. Meanwhile, Trinavarta found the baby's body becoming more heavier for him to carry and reduced his speed, his body shrank in size, dust storm and noise of the whirling wind also subsided.  So...
