Vraja Mandal Parikrama - Day 10 (Album of photos)
Katha by - H.H Radha Raman Swami Maharaj
We are at the farm on the way to Badrinath.
Let’s go back on the bank of Manasi Ganga.
In Vraja two rivers are still giving darsana all the other rivers have disappeared. Yamuna and Mansi Ganga
Once Krsna killed a calf 🐮🐮of a cow 🐄🐄. He was an asura who had taken form of a calf 🐮. He mixed with other calves of Nanda Baba. At that time Krsna used to herd calves 🐂🐂. The Calf 🐮🐮was waiting when Krsna will come and then I will kill Him. But Krsna understood that this particular calf is a new one. When Krsna went near that attractive calf, he tried to hit Krsna.
However, Krsna caught hold off him and delivered ⚔⚔the calf. All the other kids started saying that Krsna had killed a calf. Now, He has to purify 💦💦himself by taking bath 🚿🚿in Ganga. 🌊🌊and do the atonement. Krsna said the _calf_ was a demon 👺👺but as it was in a calf form 🐮🐮, I will follow what you say. But we will not go anywhere I will call Ganga here.
So the Ganga was revealed from the mana of Krsna , so from that day on it is called Manasi Ganga
Now we will understand about Vritsasura’s past life. Who he was and why he had come to kill Krsna ?
A demon 👺👺named Pramila was a son of Mura. Pramila went on to the ashram of Vasishta Rishi Vasishta Rishi had a cow named Surabhi 🐄🐄🐄 . She was kaam-dhenu cow ✨✨🔮🔮. Whatever you ask her she could provide. Pramila saw this and became greedy and wanted that cow🐄🐄 . But he could not have a fight 🤺🤺with a Risi. So he did a cheating by assuming a form of a sadhu. He went to Vasishta Risi and asked that kaam-dhenu cow as a donation. Vasishta Risi understood that he is not a Brahman and just assumed a disguise form. However, *Vasishta Risi* was very kind hearted, so he started thinking what to do - Should I give away the cow or not? But Nandini understood and became angry 😠😠😠😡😡, so she said you mad person. You are trying to take away the cow 🐄🐄🐄of a Brahman. I curse you to become a cow 🐂🐂. Being cursed by Nandini, _Pramila_ started to repent 😭😭and caught hold-off cow and Vasishta Risi and started crying. Please forgive me.
To which, Vasishta Risi said the curse has already come out and no matter what it will surely happen. But don’t worry you will take birth in Vraja and Krsna will touch you and will kill you.
Because, Pramila was friend of Kamsa, so he went to🦚🦚🦜🦜 Vraja 🦜🦜🦚🦚to kill Krsna
So that’s how Lord Krsna gave birth to Manasi Ganga_ 🌊🌊and took bath 💦💦in it to purify himself from the sin of Go-hatya.

🌞🌞🌞🌞In *Navadvipa* , there is a maha Ghata 🐚🐚🐚 in *Godrumdivpa* named _*Gora Daha*_ .
There was a crocodile 🐊🐊🐊 in that daha. There stayed a girl named *Shyama* .
_*Caitanya Mahaprabhu*_ used to go to her village 🏕🏕🏕for _kirtana_ 🎷🎷🎷🥁🥁🥁and she used to offer _prasdam_ 🍐🍊🍎🍏to all the *kirtana parties* . She was a _*Gopa Kanya*_ .
🌞🌞_*Caitanya Mahaprabhu*_ 🌞🌞used to like the _malai_ on *milk* and *curd* . The crocodile 🐊🐊🐊 in that daha was dangerous and used to kill anyone who came near. *Caitanya Mahaprabhu* once after taking _prasdam_ 🥙🥙🥙🥙🥙went towards that daha.
Everyone tried to stop him but he did not listen to anyone. As the crocodile 🐊🐊🐊🐊saw *Caitanya Mahaprabhu* coming, he came near him and touched his feet. After touching the feet 👣👣👣👣of _Caitanya Mahaprabhu_, the crocodile immediately became a *Dev Kumar* .
He paid his obeisances 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌to *Caitanya Mahaprabhu*.
*Caitanya Mahaprabhu* asked Oh son! _How come you became a crocodile??? What aparadha did you do??_
_Dev Kumar_ replied Oh *Lord* you know everything but still to satisfy _You_ I will tell again.
_Dev Kumar_ said, I am son of a *Devata* . Once, I came for _*Vraj Mandal Parikrama*_ . At *Kamavan* , I saw a sadhu was sleeping and saw his matted hair & cut the hair of sadhu. That sadhu was _*Durvasa Muni*_ and he got really angry. Oh! I got sacred thinking now what will happen to me. He cursed me to become a crocodile but because *Dev Kumar* was in tears, he blessed me saying don’t worry you will take birth in Navadvipa Dhama and the Lord will deliver you.
