63. Brahmand Ghat
It is the place where
Lord Krishna performed his pastime of showing the whole universe inside his
mouth to his foster mother Yashoda. According to the legend, once all the Gopas
came to mother Yashoda and informed her that her son Krishna has eaten mud. Mother
Yashoda got angry at the deed of Krishna and accompanied Gopas to the place
where Krishna was playing, so as to scold him. On reaching she enquired Krishna
if he has eaten mud but Krishna denied saying that all the Gopas are lying and
he never ate mud. Then Yashoda enquired the truth from Lord Balram who
confirmed that Krishna had eaten mud. On asking Krishna again denied that he
had not eaten mud. To prove the truth, Yashoda asked Krishna to open his mouth
and show if he has not eaten mud. When Krishna opened his small mouth, mother
Yashoda was stunned at the sight of the whole universe revolving inside the
mouth of Krishna. After having the view of such a sight inside the mouth of her
Krishna she lost her senses. A beautiful temple commemorating this pastime is
built on the bank of this Ghat and is named as Brahmanda
Bihari temple.
