If Shri Krishna is Yogeshwara and if He had no wife, then you go down

Shri Krishna was Yogeshwara. He was Yogeshwara. He was so detached that once His wives, who were His powers, said that “We want to go across and worship a particular saint.” He said, “Alright, why didn’t you go?” They said, “No, the river is in spate and we don’t know how to cross the river.” He said, “Alright, you go and tell the river we want to go and see such and such a saint and Shri Krishna has said you calm down. If Shri Krishna is Yogeshwara and if He had no wife, then you go down.”


So they went to the river and said that, “If Shri Krishna has had no wives and He is a Yogeshwara, then please go down.” And the river went down. So they were very surprised, that “He is supposed to be our husband and still He is Yogeshwara. He is so detached.” They crossed over and they went and worshipped the saint. So the saint said, “Now you can go back.”


When they were coming back, they found again the river was in spate. So they went back to the saint and said, “Now how do we go back?” He said, “How did you come?” They said, “Shri Krishna said that, ‘you go and ask the river if I was a Yogeshwara, then go down.” “Alright, so you go and tell the river that the saint did not eat anything whatsoever and he was absolutely detached about it, so the river will go down.” So they were surprised because they has fed him, he had eaten everything, he had done everything.


So they went to the river and said, “Oh river, the saint never ate anything, he was absolutely detached about food, he didn’t touch the food.” And the river went down. So they were surprised, “How is it the saint ate everything and didn’t eat anything?” It means he was in ‘Aswadha”, he was not involved into the food, he was detached and they were surprised. It looks like a lie from a human point of view, it is not. That is the fact. He is a Yogeshwara and he is so detached.
