Thousands of lamps dance before their Lordships, their glowing flames flickering excitedly within their terracotta vessels. The lights are dim, and the drums are beating, while devotees sway and sing with all the love they can muster from deep within. The temple room is packed, and thousands of palms are clasped, and folded in heartfelt prayer.
Baby Krishna looks pleadingly at the infinite rope twined around Mother Yashoda’s hands, his lotus eyes brimming with sparkling tears. Refusing to get distracted by his damp fan of lashes, and trembling rosy lips, she starts binding him again, exasperated at how the infinite coils never seem enough to tie His small, heaving belly. A warm tear trickled down His dusky cheeks falling unto her shaking hands. She fought the urge to be hypnotized by those enchanting eyes -He had to be disciplined, taught a good lesson – there was no escaping this time!
