Today is sixth day after the birth
of Krishn. This day is called Chhat. On this day when Krishn was on
the earth, Putanaa went to Gokul where Krishn was transferred by his
father.
Kans, the ruler of Mathura, after knowing that his
destroyer is in Gokul, sent his sister Putanaa to kill him. She was
12 miles in the height.
When Putanaa went to Gokul, she assumed a form
beautiful lady and applied a dreaded poison on the tip of her breast.
The plan was to breast feed Krishn who was ust six days old to get
rid of him.
She went to mother Yashoda's house. Yashodaa and
other maids present there were so stunned to see the beauty of
incoming Putanaa that no one resisted her from taking Krishn in the
lap. After Krishn was in the lap Putanaa put nipple of her breast
into the mouth of little Krishn in the anticipation that she would
see dead Krishn in seconds.
But the boy wasn't the ordinary one. He was the
almighty God. Krishn stared sucking milk from Putanaa's breast. He
did not stop there. He further went on to suck the life out of her
body.
With unbearable pain Putanaa shouted 'Leave me!
Leave me!' But Krishn did not. She could not stick to her assumed
form of beautiful lady and returned to her original form of demon.
She was ultimately killed and her body fell in the
area of 12 miles long. Such a huge was her body that she was cut into
pieces before being cremated.
To this Putanaa, Krishn gave eternal bliss on
pretext that she became his mother because she breast fed him.
All glories to Merciful and compassionate Krishn!!
