Krishna and his love for milk products

The Gokulam village where Krishna resided, was populated by “Gopalas,”. As a result, the community had an excess of milk, curds, and butter. Krishna loved butter and would take advantage of every chance to steal a pot from his mother or any other mother in the village. In order to prevent Krishna or his pals from getting to the butter pots, all the moms, or “Gopis,” as they were known, began hanging them to the ceiling.

Krishna would collaborate with his companions to reach these pots, which were fastened to the ceiling quite high up. They would either climb up to the roof and move the ceiling tiles or stand on each other’s shoulders to make a human ladder. They would throw a stone at the saucepan and take turns collecting the butter with their open lips if none of the other methods succeeded.

When the Gopis found out that Krishna was the main person who stole the butter, they told Krishna’s mother, Yashoda. Yashoda apologized to the women and promised to correct Krishna. Krishna, a cheeky little boy, decided to trick the Gopis. When Yashoda learned about this, she was unable to correct Krishna and instead chained him to a large staff. Of courses remembering childhood for us always is a memorable joyful event and feel the affection of our mother and her sacrifice.
