A pic-nic

Krishna and Balaram's foster parents (Nanda Baba and Yasoda Devi) decided to have a pic-nic on a mild summer afternoon with close family members and friends.

Everyone knows that Krishna is very fond of sweets so plenty of laddus, lugdus, burfi and halwa were prepared and packed for this most auspicious occasion. Natural sweets like fig, dates and fresh fruit were easily available and in abundance in the forests of Vrindavan.

Yasoda Devi would take great delight feeding Krishna and Balarama by her own hand. Krishna relished this service and was very happy and satisfied.
