KRSNA SHOWS MOTHER YASODA THE UNIVERSE IN HIS MOUTH<\/p>\n
One day while Krsna was playing with His small playmates and Balarama, all His friends joined Balarama in lodging a complaint with mother Yagoda. \u201cMother,\u201d they submitted, \u201cKrsna has eaten earth.\u201d
\nUpon hearing this from Krsna\u2019s playmates, mother Yasoda, who was always full of anxiety over Krsna\u2019s welfare, picked Krsna up to look into His mouth and chastise Him. Her eyes fearful, she spoke to her son as follows: \u201cDear Krsna, why are You so restless that You have eaten dirt in a solitary place?\u201d
\nLord Krsna replied, \u201cMy dear mother, I have never eaten dirt. All My friends complaining against Me are liars. If you think they are being truthful, you can directly look into My mouth and examine it.\u201d
\nMother Yasoda challenged Krsna \u201cIf you have not eaten earth, then open Your mouth wide.\u201d
\nWhen Krsna was ordered by His mother, He immediately opened His mouth just like an ordinary boy. Then mother Yasoda saw within His mouth the complete opulence of creation. She saw outer space in all directions, mountains, islands, oceans, seas, planets, air, fire, moon, and stars. Indeed , mother Yasoda saw within the mouth of her child everything necessary for the cosmic manifestation. Upon seeing all this, she became struck with awe and wondered whether she was dreaming or actually seeing something extraordinary. Then Lord Krsna expanded His internal energy, and Yasoda forgot all philosophical speculation and accepted Krsna once again as her own child.<\/p>\n
