Sri Krishna: The Miracle Worker

Sri Krishna: The Miracle Worker

Accounts relate that among His acts was the performance of miracles – right from His very ‘birth’. He ‘appeared’ at the time of “birth” in the transcendent four-armed form and then immediately assumed the form of a human child; showed Mother Yashoda a glimpse of the entire cosmos within the cavity of His mouth; brought into existence ‘new’ cowherd boys and calves (which had been stolen); appeared before Akroora in the same form simultaneously within the waters of the Yamuna river and as seated in the chariot on the road; destroyed as a matter of His Divine mission Kamsa and Chaanoora and other evil persons; recalled from the other world the deceased child of His Teacher, as well as those of Mother Devaki; healed the sick and fed the hungry; increased small quantities of food to feed multitudes; assumed as many forms as there were Gopis and be in company with each, simultaneously; caused Draupadi’s garment to extend to an indefinite length on her seeking His protection, even mentally; appeared suddenly before Draupadi when she thought of Him through helplessness in connection with the act of entertaining the irascible Durvasa in the forest.

Sri Krishna appeared in His Universal Form before the Kauravas assembled in court; showed Arjuna both His Universal as well as His four-armed Form in the course of His exposition of the Bhagavad-gita; gave life to the still-born Parkshit; during the Ashvamedha Yajna, suddenly appeared from Dwaraka (a hundred miles away) at night on the Pandavas thinking of Him. These and other supernatural acts definitely prove His Divinity.
