Residents of Vraja Move to Brindavan

Srimad Bhagavatam - Residents of Vraja Move to Brindavan

The Lord, through his infantile sports, brought joy to the residents of Vraja. As an ordinary infant, He would even do what was ordered to Him. 

Once, a fruit vendor had come selling fruits. Taking a handful of grains, he ran to her to get some fruits. The fruit seller filled His hands with fruits even though food grains had slipped through the gap between His fingers. The fruit basket got filled with precious stones.

The elders of Vraja, headed by Nanda, were deliberating the evil portents in the recent past. They decided to move out of Vraja, particularly taking into account Krishna's safety. 

They decided to move to a forest, Vrindavan. It was full of evergreen trees most suited for the bovine race. Putting the aged, infants, and articles on the carts and placing the cattle wealth ahead, they immediately move out of Vraja. Women and children wore fine dresses adorned with jewelry.  

Balarama and Srikrishna were overjoyed to see picturesque Brindavan, Govardhan Hill, and sandy banks of Yamuna River.

As years passed by, Balaram and Krishna grew and were assigned to take care of calves with a set of boundaries not far off from the cow pen.

The duo Brothers played on the flute, played like bulls, mimicked various animals, and moved around like ordinary mortals.

Once, while grazing the calves, a demon appeared disguised as a calf with the intent to attack them. Observing it, Krishna approached it from behind, seized its hind legs, revolved it, and threw it far away, killing it. The cowherds were very happy and applauded loudly.
