What does it mean to be the mother of God?
Millions worship Lord Krishna as the Supreme Being. But Yashoda experienced something extraordinary: she held Him in her arms, fed Him, watched over Him, corrected His mischief and loved Him as her own little child.
YASHODA: The Mother Who Held God in Her Arms explores one of the most touching relationships in Hindu spiritual tradition - the eternal bond between Lord Krishna and His beloved foster mother.
Journey into the sacred world of Gokul and Vrindavan, where the Divine Child filled everyday life with laughter, wonder, and love. Discover the charming stories of Krishna's childhood, his butter-stealing adventures, the cosmic universe revealed in his little mouth, and the unforgettable episode in which Yashoda binds the Supreme Lord with a simple rope.
Drawing primarily upon the Srimad Bhagavata Purana and enriched by India's devotional traditions, this book explores the spiritual significance of Vatsalya Bhakti - devotion expressed through the unconditional love of a mother.
It also reflects upon Devaki, Krishna's birth mother, and Yashoda, the mother who raised him, honouring the unique place each holds in his divine story.
A heartfelt journey through motherhood, devotion and divine love, this book celebrates a timeless truth: the Infinite allowed Himself to be loved as a child.
A beautiful addition to the library of every reader who cherishes Lord Krishna and India's sacred heritage.
