The Moon

It was a bright moons night, thus it was bright all over. Everyone in the house of Dharmadev was deep asleep with the Lord sleeping in his cradle. The moon was shining on the Lord's face directly from a window facing the cradle.

Suddenly, Balprabhu woke up. On glancing through the window He saw the moon. He felt like playing with the moon. Lying in His cradle, He stretched His hand through the window and got hold of the moon. He then pulled it into the house. Even the moon became like a child and started playing with Balprabhu.

The whole house was illuminated with the light of the moon. Immediately, Bhaktimata woke up and got frightened on seeing Balprabhu playing with the moon. Balprabhu said “Mother, don't be frightened. It's the moon who has come here to play. I'm the one who has brought him here”.

On hearing this Bhaktimata became happy. The moon bowed to Bhaktimata and returned into the sky.
