Dark clouds,
Stormy night,
Severe downpour,
As death awaited Him, a child was born, lighting up the entire prison with his beautiful smile.
Carrying his newborn son in a basket, the father marched out of the prison as all the guards fell asleep all of a sudden.
The pain of separation of the newborn and the mother was unbearable, that silent tears crawled out of her eyes.
As the father hesitated to bring the newborn out in the heavy rain, came the child's eternal companion, as His umbrella.
The river water was desperate to touch the Infant's feet, and it began to consume the father.
As soon as it touches His lotus feet, it splits into two parts, giving way for the Father to cross.
Walking kilometers away, the father found his friend's place where his wife gave birth to a beautiful daughter.
The father switched the babies and walked away with the baby girl with a heavy heart.
As the world resumes again, the new mother scoops this little boy who was initially switched, assuming him as her son.
Snuggling into his tiny cheeks, she whispered, "Kanha" ~ The beautiful dark-skinned child with tiny curls adds charm to his heavenly face.
HAPPY JANMASHTAMI
