Yashoda Jayanti 2023: History

Yashoda was the foster mother of Lord Shri Krishna who raised him with total care and concern. Krishna was originally born to Devaki but immediately he was transferred to Nanda and Yashoda's house by his father Vasudeva as there was a threat for his life, due to the scheming Kansa. At the time of Krishna's birth, the shackles that tied his parents to the post at jail got released by themselves and the guards fell asleep as if it were by magic. This was enough for Vasudeva to venture out of the Jail with the new born Krishna and give him away to Nanda at Gokul. Yashoda brought up both kids, Krishna and his brother Balarama very affectionately. Once day, when Yashoda saw Krishna eating mud, scolded him and tied him to a millstone. When Yashoda asked Krishna to open his mouth, she saw the entire universe in his mouth and instantly realized that Krishna was none other than Lord Vishnu. Although Lord Krishna was exceedingly difficult to raise, with his supernatural leelas and adventures, Yashoda's love towards him did not swerve a bit as a mother.

His father Vasudev sent Lord Krishna to his friend Nanda's house where Yashoda, the wife of Nanda, looked after Krishna. Yashoda used to love Krishna dearly and Krishna too felt the same towards her. Krishna was also called Yashodanandana.
