Why Does God Test us? Shree Krishna's Damodar Leela । Shreemad Bhagavatam 32/49
12 Min•Bhagavatam
The Damodar Leela of Shree Krishna, as explained by Swami Mukundananda, beautifully illustrates the interplay of divine love and devotion. In this leela, young Krishna is tied to a grinding mortar by Mother Yashoda, symbolizing the binding of the infinite by the pure love of a devotee. Swamiji emphasizes that Krishna willingly accepts the limitations imposed by love, showcasing the supreme power of bhakti (devotion) over even the divine. This episode teaches that sincere, selfless love and devotion can bring the divine closer and overcome any obstacles in the spiritual journey.
