Week 10 Reading Notes: Epified Krishna B



Epified Krishna B

Krishna and his cowherd friends were hanging out one day and eating off of the same plate.
Brahma, the creator of the universe was curious as to why they were doing this.
Brahma then decided to test Krishna's divine power.
Brahma then disappeared with the cows that Krishna and his friends were watching over.
Krishna went looking for the cows and found that Brahma had taken them and his friends.
Krishna, to teach Brahma a lesson, played a trick on him.
He created the lost cows and cowherds out of himself.
No one could tell the difference when he returned home.
Brahma kept the cows and cowherds for a whole year but life went on normally in the village.
The parents of the cowherds could not even tell that their children were not real.
When Brahma went to the village to find all of this, he used his powers to find that all the fake cows and people were actually Krishna.
Brahma fell to his knees and acknowledged Krishna's divinity. He also thanked him and gave back his friends and cows.
Krishna went back out with his cowherd friends and told them that he wanted to become strong enough to punch the bull Hastin.
Hastin was the strongest bull in the village.
He was the source of all the cows in the village.
The whole village was scared of Hastin because he was so violent.
Killing the bull was not a good deed so he told everyone that he would ride it.
Nobody believed him.
Krishna played the flute in front of Hastin every night for a month.
By the end of this, Hastin became docile.
Krishna then rode Hastin and the village was shocked.
In this Krishna taught the village a lesson of kindness.
Kindness is the ultimate strength.
