Kanha To Pai Kaun Duhave Gaiya?

Kaun duhave gaiya, Kanha topai kaun duhave gaiya? ( Oh Kanhaiya! Who is going to have You milk their cow?) Thakurji (little Krishna) used to go to the house of  Gopis .  This was a daily routine and He used to beg and plead,  “O  Gopi ! Have Me milk your cow. I will milk your cow.  You don’t need to work so hard.”  All the  Gopis  had a meeting and they all decided that they should tease Lala (little Krishna).  So, today when Thakurji went and said, “Have Me milk your cow,”  all the  Gopis refused.  “I don’t need Your help to milk my cow.  I will do it myself.” Kanhaiya was taken by surprise as to what could have happened?  The  Gopis  said, “Listen to the reasons.” Karo rang aru kari kamariya, bidak jayagi gaiya .

Wherever Lord Krishna is there Lord Shiva also dwells and wherever Mahadev Shambhu is there Shree Hari also dwells. In this self composed kirtan Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj explains a beautiful Leela of Lord Shiva coming to Gokul to get a glimpse of baby Krishna. Mother Yashoda is petrified by His looks and thus, refuses to grant Him the audience. Disappointed, Lord Shiva returns, but Shree Krishna is not happy with it. What does He do to fulfill His devotee's wish?!? When Lord Krishna appeared in Gokula, Lord Shiva could not content himself. Dressed as a jogi , He went to Gokula and stood at the door of Nanda Baba's house asking to see the new-born. जोगी शिव अरु मातु यशोमति, रहे दोउ बतराय l Mother Yasoda eyed the wild looking jogi suspiciously and felt that his appearance would frighten the little baby. She refused to let Him see the boy. Meanwhile Shiva sings outside ..“ O Mother! I want to see the face of your little child. In your cradle lies the supreme ...
