Ever since little Krishna came to Nand Baba’s home, every day He spreads bliss by revealing different Leelas. Especially Mother Yashoda began drenching in the ras of Bal Krishna. Everyday Krishna raises new questions and demands and mother relish His innocence!!
One late evening, little Krishna was strolling in the terrace with mother Yashoda. Suddenly He saw the Moon. He told His mother pointing at the Moon, "Maiya, what’s that?" The Mother said, "Oh! That is Moon, Lalla."
Krishna said, “I want that!”
The Mother said, “It’s too far away, my boy!”
Krishna: “It looks like a big lump of butter!”
Mother: “Yes my dear, but it’s not butter!”
Krishna: “Whatever it is, I want to play with it.”
Krishna was very keen to have the Moon in His home. Mother thought yesterday also I diverted Him from catching His own reflection. Now if I would not do anything today, my Lalla will feel bad. So Maiya filled a big vessel with water and put it in the terrace; one could easily see the Moon’s reflection in that water. Maiya showed it to Krishna.
Mother: “Look Kanha! The moon is right here now!”
Krishna rushed to the vessel and saw the reflection of Moon. For a moment He was very happy. He put His hand in the vessel but only water came to His hand. Again He started, "This is not what I want."
Maiya got very confused. “How to convince this little charming boy!!?" she thought. Suddenly a beautiful thought sparked in her mind. She took Lalla in her lap and softly told, “My dear, see this moon has a dark spot in him. I heard that in the neighbouring village Barsana, a very charming sweet girl has appeared at Vrishbhanuji’s home. She is prettier and brighter than this moon. Moreover, there is no dark shadow on Her face. Her name is “Radha”. I will try to take you to her; then you will forget this Moon.”
Surprisingly, Krishna immediately got convinced. “Maiya are you sure, you will take me to Her?”
Maiya told: "Of course, I promise You."
Krishna smiled and mumbled, "Maiya, I just wanted to listen to this sweet name 'Radha' and wanted the assurance to meet Her. I eagerly waiting to see Her in child form on this planet earth!!"
