Little Krishna

Born in a prison, raised in a village, loved by everyone. Krishna's childhood is full of butter, mischief, bravery, and a flute that made the whole world stop and listen.

Lessons in this chapter

• The Night Krishna Was Born — A storm, a locked prison, a baby carried across a river. His story starts like no one else's.
• The Butter Thief Everyone Loved — He stole from every house in the village. Nobody could stay angry.
• The Snake in the River — A poisonous serpent was killing the river. Krishna was just a boy. He jumped in anyway.
• When Krishna Lifted a Whole Mountain — The rain wouldn't stop. The village was flooding. Krishna held up Govardhan with one finger.
• Sudama and Krishna — He was so poor he could only bring a handful of beaten rice. Krishna treated it like the greatest treasure in the world.
• The Flute That Made Everyone Stop — When Krishna played, birds stopped flying. Cows stopped walking. Everyone just listened.
