BABY KRISHNA
“This is a sandalwood Baby Krishna which was given by Bhagavan Nityananda to my dad in the 1950s. It was with Baba and kept on the wall. He used often to play with it just like a child plays with a doll. Often He used to sing a song to Baba Krishna. One day He handed over this statue to my dad. Since then we kept Lord Balkrishna on our altar. Baba used to apply Sandalwood Oil to this Krishna and so did we. Although it is a Sandalwood Krishna, it slowly changed its color and became Jamblavarni like Baba. Its backside appeared like that of Baba. The Krishna has very charming features, a sweet smiling face, a very healthy body, carrying a flute, and a butterball in his hands. The hair is tied up with two peacock feathers. The gold ornaments were made by my mother like armbands with Om carved on them, golden flue, bangles, anklets, and a gems studded crown. This Krishna used to exhibit various moods that used to change daily. Sometimes full of Joy, sometimes angry, crying, unhappy, etc. When He used to cry, my mother offered Him milk. He was living with Baba in our house. A few days before Baba’s Mahasamadhi he appeared very drained, weak, and sad. My mother saw the face of Krishna and said “Swami is not keeping well.”.
