“There was no necessity of the Lord's being

dispatched to the house of Nanda Mahäräja out

of fear of Kaàsa's determination to kill Him as

soon as He appeared. It is the business of the

asuras to try to kill the Supreme Personality of

Godhead or to prove by all means that there is

no God or that Kåñëa is an ordinary human being

and not God. Lord Kåñëa is not affected by such

determination of men of Kaàsa's class, but in

order to play the role of a child He agreed to be

carried by His father to the cow pastures of

Nanda Mahäräja because Vasudeva was afraid of

Kaàsa. Nanda Mahäräja was due to receive Him

as his child, and Yaçodämayé was also to enjoy

the childhood pastimes of the Lord, and therefore

to fulfill everyone's desire, He was carried from

Mathurä to Våndävana just after His appearance

in the prison house of Kaàsa. He lived there for

eleven years and completed all His fascinating

pastimes of childhood, boyhood and adolescence

with His elder brother, Lord Baladeva, His first

expansion. Vasudeva's thought of protecting

Kåñëa from the wrath of Kaàsa is part of a

transcendental relationship. The Lord enjoys

more when someone takes Him as his

subordinate son who needs the protection of a

father than He does when someone accepts Him

as the Supreme Lord. He is the father of

everyone, and He protects everyone, but when

His devotee takes it for granted that the Lord is

to be protected by the devotee's care, it is a

transcendental joy for the Lord. Thus when

Vasudeva, out of fear of Kaàsa, carried Him to

Våndävana, the Lord enjoyed it; otherwise, He

had no fear from Kaàsa or anyone else.” (SB

3.2.26 P)

“If anyone wants to enjoy the childhood pastimes

of the Lord, then he has to follow in the footsteps

of the residents of Vraja like Nanda, Upananda

and other parental inhabitants. A child may insist

on having something and cry like anything to get

it, disturbing the whole neighbourhood, and then

immediately after achieving the desired thing, he

laughs. Such crying and laughing is enjoyable to

the parents and elderly members of the family,

so the Lord would simultaneously cry and laugh

in this way and merge His devotee-parents in the

humor of transcendental pleasure.” (SB 3.2.28 P)

Monthly Bhakti Vriksha Program

A Bhakti-vriksha group is a small number of congregational devotees who meet every month to practice

Krsna consciousness by specifically reading Srila Prabhupads books, Chanting Hare Krishna together

and discussing practical aspects of bhakti. The Bhakti-vriksha Program provides association and

spiritual community support.

In this Bhakti Vriksha we discussed in detail BG Chapter 10, Importance of Chanting, Devotee

Care and Devotional activities. Also discussed some basics of Parenting.
