Within the Bhagavata Purana, it is described that Krishna who was born to Devaki, was given to Yashoda and Nanda in Gokul exchanging her daughter Yogmaya by Krishna's father Vasudeva on the night of his birth. It was done for his protection from Devaki's brother, Kansa, the king of Mathura.
Various childhood episodes or Lilas of Krishna, growing in Yashoda's household abound in Hindu religious scriptures, important amongst them are, Krishna giving darshan to Yashoda with his Vishwaroopa or his Divine Form. Also it is stated by Ved Vyasa in Mahabharata, the main Epic which portrays Krishna as principal hero, that venerable sage Maharishi Narada once visited Krishna at Brindavan.
There is a famous story related to Shri Krishna that when He was kid, he used to eat soil. One day, his mother yashoda caught him and asked whether he was eating soil. but Shri Krishna lied that he wasn't eating soil. To believe him, his mother asked him to open his mouth. When he opened mouth, his mother sees the Seven Oceans, the entire Universe with its vast expanse and also Narayana seated upon Adishesha (The Divine Snake), attended upon by his beloved consort Mahalakshmi.
Yashoda realized the divinity of Shri Krishna and surrendered to Him mentally. Immediately forgetting Yoga Mayas illusion that Krishna had shown the universal form within His mouth, mother Yashoda took her son on her lap as before, feeling increased affection in her heart for her transcendental child. 🕉
Jai Shri Krishna 🙏
