Hearing Krsna-katha as the new sadhana

By Sacinandana Swami

The samvartaka cloud, urged by Indra, became exhausted. Indra was hissing, but after some time even Indra could not fail to notice that there is no effect. He has noticed joyful flute music coming from under the hill. The boy looked completely happy gazing with love at His people. Vrajavasis did not even notice what Indra was doing. Not even one Govardhan-sila fell from the hill. The 7 days passed for them like 1 ghatika, 24 minutes. Finally Indra felt confused. Like falling from a high platform on the ground, - that is how a proud person feels when ignored - he is confused. That is the best way to deal with the proud person - just ignore him. "Let us run, Krsna will now punish us!" By Indra's command the sky cleared, the sun became visible and everything became auspicious in all the four directions. Brijbasis saw the attractive scenery - roofs of their houses were glittering as if washed. They were not eager to leave, they were ready to stay and look and Krsna.
