00:04Travelling back to the dusty trails of history, we read about the times when the earth was
00:11overburdened by the rule of ruthless despots, who were driven by insatiable greed for power
00:20and wealth. Anyone who stood in their way fell under their sword, and chaos and injustice prevailed.
00:29Overwhelmed by the torment and pain, Mother Earth sought the help of Brahma, who creates
00:36the material universes on the order of the Supreme Lord. Along with the other demigods
00:43in charge of managing the different aspects of the material world, Brahma approached the
00:49Supreme Lord and offered prayers unto him.
00:55My dear devotees, I have heard your prayers. It is time for me to appear upon the earth,
01:02to protect the good and destroy the evil. Do not fear, I shall free you of your burdens.
01:10I shall free you of your burdens.
01:13I shall free you of your burdens.
01:38Not again, Hamsi. Soon you will beat Krishna at it.
01:44Be careful, my darling. I will be waiting all day to see you, before sunset.
01:50Krishna, oh Krishna. I have got something for you, my little angel.
01:55You didn't pack that in my bag, did you, Mother?
01:58No, no. Not for you, Madhu. These special rascalas, steeped in rose scented sweet syrup,
02:05are Krishna's favourite. And they are only for him. Go on now. I have already given you your lunch basket.
02:16Mmm. Thank you very much.
02:22Oh, Komala. You must give some to Madhu too.
02:25That's right. Listen to her, Mother.
02:27Oh, my beautiful Bumblebee. You are some of my best, Sandesh.
02:33And just the way you like it. So fluffy and soft. They will just melt in your mouth.
02:39Krishna, my lovely Blue Lotus. I've got yours.
02:43That's enough pampering for one day, Krishna. Now run along.
02:47And see that you share your gifts with your friends.
02:49I will, Mother. You are so kind to me. Thank you for all the goodies.
03:01Yashoda, your Krishna is so special.
03:04Look at the way he plays his flute and gets all our boys to dance like butterflies.
03:10He charms me every morning that I see him.
03:12And I can't get his lotus eyes and sweet smile out of my mind the whole day.
03:17Champa's right.
03:19Oh, Yashoda. Sometimes we forget our own boys.
03:23Lost in sweet thoughts of your little Krishna.
03:26You are so fortunate, Yashoda. I really wish Krishna were my own little boy.
03:30Me too.
03:32Me too.
03:37Oh Lord, I have told you everything as I have seen it.
03:41This little boy Krishna certainly must be the supreme person.
03:45Bhānu, I am in charge of conducting the material creation.
03:51And I know my master, the supreme lord Vishnu.
03:56Surely he finds no need to give up his abode in Vaikuntha
03:59and choose to live among the simple villagers of Vrindavan.
04:03Pardon me my lord Brahma.
04:05But is there anyone else who can defy the powerful laws of material nature?
04:11This very morning he killed the vicious demon Aghasura.
04:14Ah, is that right?
04:18I am not bewildered Bhānu.
04:21There is nothing about the supreme lord that I do not know.
04:25As a responsible servitor, I make it a point to be informed of his transcendental activities.
04:31Hence, I believe this is the feat of a very powerful magician.
04:38Nevertheless, I must make sure who he is before he bewilders the innocent humans.
04:45Yes my lord.
04:47It is about time I dealt with this myself.
04:50I shall descend upon the earth into the village of Vrindavan where he lives.
04:55You will accompany me Bhānu.
04:58Yes my lord.
05:12My dear little friends.
05:14I am as happy to see you as you are to see me.
05:19There is no place like the beautiful forest of Vrindavan.
05:22I love these forests too Krishna.
05:24And do we ever get hungry around you Dadi?
05:30Ahs.
05:32Ahs.
05:33Ah.
05:38Ah.
05:40Ah.
05:41Ah.
05:44Ah.
05:49That's the end of the fruit, the monkey, and the greedy boy.
06:02So, this is where the blue boy hides.
06:06Lust can play and pranks.
06:10Where then does all the magic lie?
06:14What kind of magic can this little cow herd make?
06:17The kind that can do this?
06:22This is the python Krishna killed this morning.
06:25How can he not?
06:26Panu, oh Panu.
06:29Why are you so flustered?
06:32I have an idea.
06:34Yes, yes my lord.
06:35But I fear we have a very clever wizard to deal with.
06:40Have you forgotten that the lord has given me charge of the greatest task in the universe?
06:45Can Brahma not find out the secret of this little magician's tricks?
06:52Come close.
07:09That's it Hamsi.
07:11Eat up so you will become a great big cow someday.
07:14And give lots of sweet milk for Krishna and Balram.
07:34Hey, wait.
07:53Hamsi.
07:56Guy.
07:58Where are you?
08:01Where are you?
08:08Krishna.
08:09Krishna.
08:09I have the best samosas today.
08:11There's enough for you too.
08:16Oh Krishna.
08:17Look at this snowy white raskulas my mother sent.
08:21Please take some.
08:23Hmmm.
08:24My mother sent me lovely little kachoris.
08:28She told me to share them with you.
08:33Oh Krishna.
08:35I have your favorite rose sandesh.
08:37Hmmm.
08:38Please take some.
08:43And now my beloved friends.
08:46Look what I've got.
08:47The sweetest.
08:48The most fragrant.
08:50Mango Shrikhand.
08:51And mother has packed enough for all of you.
08:59Krishna.
09:00Krishna.
09:01I can't find the calves.
09:04I've looked for them everywhere.
09:06Come on Subala.
09:07Sit down.
09:08You haven't even had your lunch.
09:10I'll take care of it Subala.
09:12They must have wandered into the forest.
09:14Just sit down and eat.
09:16All of you stay here.
09:17I'll be back with the calves.
09:38Look at this. It's raining.
09:42Dust.
09:44Krishna.
09:45Hasn't gone too bad.
10:10I can't find the calves anywhere.
10:12I think I need your help.
10:15Huh?
10:17Madhu.
10:19Shridham.
10:20Charu.
10:22Subala.
10:24Where are you all?
10:36Who is up to this mischief?
10:42Ah.
10:43So it is you.
10:44Brahma.
10:45Who wishes to play with me.
10:47I have appeared on the earth on your call.
10:50And now even you are really bewildered.
10:58Subala.
10:59Madhu.
11:03Have you seen my son yet?
11:05Krishna and the boys have not returned.
11:07They should have returned hours ago.
11:09It is already late and these mothers are anxious about their sons.
11:14I shall not allow this trick of Brahma to break the hearts of these mothers.
11:18The dear mothers of Vrindavan love me so much.
11:22They have longed to have me as their son.
11:25And the cows of Vrindavan love me even more than their calves.
11:29I shall give them all the chance they are waiting for.
11:33I shall fulfill their pure desire.
12:16There is one more to go.
12:25Honey, we must return to our families.
12:28They are already anxious and are looking for us.
12:39Look, there he is.
12:44So bright and beautiful.
12:52Mathu.
12:53My son looks as bright and beautiful as Krishna.
13:00So does my darling Subala.
13:03Oyashoda.
13:04How bright all the boys look.
13:06They appear very special this evening.
13:09Almost like Krishna himself.
13:12You are right.
13:13There is some magic in the air.
13:20And so as Krishna continued to manifest himself in place of his missing friends.
13:29The days passed happily as did the seasons.
13:35And while Brahma kept the cowhood boys and calves hidden in dreamland.
13:45Krishna kept the parents of Vrindavan filled with joy.
13:49And the cows filled with milk for their beloved calves.
13:55The villagers could not see the cause of their constant bliss.
13:59The truth was that every home had Krishna.
14:04And every barn too.
14:07Krishna was everywhere.
14:10Yashoda, there is an amazing sense of happiness in Vrindavan these days.
14:15That's so true my lord.
14:17I don't hear anyone complaining.
14:19Fathers and mothers are so happy with their children.
14:29As for the cows.
14:31The milkmen have a hard time taking their calves away from them.
14:35Their love for the calves seems to overflow.
14:39I feel so happy to see the mother's eyes light up magically.
14:42With great affection for their sons.
14:45Just the same way I feel for Krishna.
14:48I've wondered what special magic spell I'm under when I'm with Krishna.
14:53Now I see that happen with all of them too.
14:57That's it.
14:59Magic spell.
15:01That's what Vrindavan seems to be under.
15:04Hmm.
15:05A magic spell.
15:09Oh Krishna.
15:11I know it's you.
15:13Hmm.
15:16Oh lord.
15:18How have I got myself into this fix?
15:21Already one year has passed on earth.
15:25Let me go to Vrindavan and find out what Krishna is up to having lost the boys and calves.
15:40How can this be?
15:43The cowherd boys are asleep in the clouds.
15:46And the calves hidden away in the happy dreamland.
15:50How can they all be here playing with Krishna?
16:00What is this?
16:03And how is my lord of vision here?
16:10I am Brahma.
16:12Who are all these Brahmas?
16:16What is going on?
16:18Oh lord.
16:19What is going on?
16:38Oh my lord.
16:41My lord.
16:43My lord.
16:44What have I done?
16:46What have I done?
16:48Forgive me my dear lord.
16:50Chaturmukha Brahma.
16:52I am here to answer your prayer as I had promised.
16:56Alas.
16:57Even such a powerful person as yourself has fallen into illusion and forgotten the absolute truth.
17:04I know you are my devotee and have no envy in your heart for me.
17:08So I have made this elaborate arrangement to teach you the entire truth.
17:15Behold.
17:15I have summoned Brahmas of different universes so you may understand the complete truth about yourself.
17:22Of the thousands of universes you are in charge of just one.
17:26There are bigger universes than yours and Brahmas more powerful than yourself.
17:31Things are much bigger and more complex than you can possibly imagine.
17:35My lord.
17:38I am an insignificant glow worm before you.
17:43Whose brilliance is more than a thousand suns.
17:47But how is it that your simple friends of Vrindavan are not bewildered by your great feats?
17:55They just adore you as their darling boy.
17:59Their love is pure and intense Brahma.
18:04Whichever I do, however small or big, they simply love me.
18:08I cannot be understood simply by Vedic knowledge or yogic meditation.
18:14I can be understood only by love and devotion.
18:19O Krishna, origin of all Vishnu's.
18:24O Master, please forgive my grave offence.
18:28You have mercifully revealed yourself to me and I am eternally grateful to you.
18:36May I always remember and cherish you in this beautiful boyish form.
18:42Playing with your friends and calves and remember what a big fool I have been.
19:09When I was wonderful but I don't know.
19:12How long does that come from?
19:12I want to know.
19:21This is my dad.
19:23How long does it make me?
19:26Why is my dad?
19:30Why?
19:34I want to know.
19:35You can never know.
19:35I want to know.
19:45My dear friends, how long will you stay asleep?
19:48It's time to return home.
19:55Krishna, I had the strangest dream.
20:00Me too.
20:02That's what happens when you sleep all afternoon with bellies full of goodies.
20:07It seems like we have slept for a whole year.
20:11Yes, sometimes telling the time can be very difficult.
20:36Oh Krishna, what has happened?
20:38Who broke the magic spell?
20:43Dear mother, what are you talking about?
20:46Spells? I'm just your little boy, not a magician.
20:51Krishna...
20:52Krishna...
20:53Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
