Lilas Of Sri Krishna (Small Pocket Books Combo) Beautifully narrates one of the most famous childhood pastimes of Shri Krishna—the heart-touching episode where He is lovingly bound by His mother Yashoda. Known as the Damodar Lila, this divine pastime reveals Krishna’s sweet childhood mischief, His mother’s unconditional love, and the profound truth that the Supreme Lord is bound not by ropes, but by the devotion of His devotees. Written in simple and devotional Hindi, this book takes the reader into the courtyards of Gokul, where little Krishna playfully stole butter, broke pots, and spread joy everywhere. When Mother Yashoda tried to punish Him for His mischief, she attempted to tie Him with a rope. Each time she tried, the rope fell short by two fingers. This lila teaches that Krishna can only be bound by bhakti (devotion) and divine grace, not by material strength or effort alone.
The book not only describes this enchanting pastime but also explains its spiritual significance. The two fingers represent human effort and God’s mercy, reminding readers that true devotion is a balance of surrender and divine grace. The story is simple yet filled with deep spiritual wisdom, making it meaningful for children, seekers, and devotees alike.
