142 Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead

For the materialistic person, worldly affairs become too aggressive, whereas
to a person who is in Krsna consciousness, everything appears to be
happily situated.

The barriers around the agricultural field sometimes break due to heavy
torrents of rain. Similarly, the unauthorized atheistic propaganda in the
age of Kali breaks the boundary of the Vedic injunctions. Thus people
sradually degenerate to godlessness. In the rainy season, the clouds, tossed
by the wind, deliver water which is welcomed like nectar. When the Vedic
followers, the brahmanas, inspire rich men like kings and the wealthy
mercantile community to give charity in the performance of great
sacrifices, the distribution of such wealth is also nectarean. The four
sections of human society, namely the brahmanas, the ksatriyas, the
vaisyas and the siidras, are meant to live peacefully in a cooperative
mood; this is possible when they are guided by the expert Vedic brahmanas
who perform sacrifices and distribute wealth equally.

Vrndavana forest improved from the rains and was replete with ripened
dates, mangoes, blackberries and other fruits. Lord Krsna, the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, and His boy friends and Lord Balarama, entered
the forest to enjoy the new seasonal atmosphere. The cows, being fed by
new grasses, became very healthy, and their milk bags were all very full.
When Lord Krsna called them by name, they immediately came to Him
out of affection, and in their joyful condition the milk flowed from their
bags. Lord Krsna was very pleased when passing through the Vrndavana
forest by the side of Govardhana Hill. On the bank of the Yamuna He saw
all the trees decorated with bee hives pouring honey. There were many
waterfalls on Govardhana Hill, and their flowing made a nice sound. Krsna
heard them as He looked into the caves of the hill. When the rainy season
was not ended completely but was gradually turning to autumn, sometimes,
especially when there was rainfall within the forest, Krsna and His
companions would sit under a tree or within the caves of Govardhana Hill
and enjoy eating the ripened fruits and talking with great pleasure. When
Krsna and Balarama were in- the forest all day, mother Yasoda used to
send Them some rice mixed with yogurt, fruits and sweetmeat. Krsna
would take them and sit on a slab of stone on the bank of the Yamuna.
While Krsna and Balarama and Their friends were eating, they watched the
cows, calves and bulls. The cows appeared to be tired from standing with
their heavy milk bags. By sitting and chewing grass, they became happy,
and Krsna was pleased to see them. He was proud to see the beauty of the
forest, which was nothing but the manifestation of His own energy.

At such times Krsna would praise nature’s special activities during the
