The story of the skit goes like this- There is one poor boy Gopal who lives with his mother. He has to pass through a deadly jungle everyday to
reach his
school. So, he is afraid of going to the school and makes excuses. One
day his mother tells him that his elder brother Govind lives in the
jungle and he will accompany Gopal to the school. Now, with full faith
on Govind, Gopal leaves for school. On the way, in the jungle he calls
out for Govind and Govind (who is Lord Krishna Himself) appears in front
of him and takes him to school. This becomes a matter of daily routine.
There is a Guru pujan in Gopal's school. Everybody is planning to gift
their teacher something special and expensive. Gopal has nothing, so he
turns to his friend Govind, who gives him a matki (earthen pot) of
milk. Next day Gopal goes to the school and gifts the matki to his
teacher. His teacher asks him to distribute milk to everyone. Then a
magical event happens. No matter how much you distribute, the milk in
the matki never finishes! Everybody is astonished. They call Gopal and
inquire about the milk. Gopal tells that his elder brother Govind who
lives in the jungle gave him. The description of Govind's looks given by
Gopal matches that of Shree Krishna. Nobody is willing to beleive
Gopal. They make fun of him and call him lier. Dejected Gopal starts to
cry and calls Govind. Suddenly, Lord Krishna appears in front of all.
But only Gopal can see him, others can only listen. So, Lord Krishna
tells all that since Gopal alone has full faith and love, only Gopal he
can have darshan of Him. Others lack that kind of faith and love, so
they cannot have His darshan. Shree Krishna says, "it is only for Gopal
that I have come here to protect him from humiliation. Otherwise, you
people will not be able to listen to my voice." Saying such, Shree
Krishna vanishes. Everybody ask for forgiveness and sings glory of
BAL-MUKUND !!!
It gives great pleasure to see children taking such interest in their culture. It is a great way to introduce them to the life of devotion
