GopalKala (Janmastami Special)

Lord Krisna took all the lunchboxs of his friends and mix them together to make this Prasada called 'GopalKala'.

All the Gops (Krishna/Kanha's friends were called Gops) were shy share their food with Kanha. Some one got just beaten rice, some body just curd, everyone some thing which was available at home and packed by their mother. Kanha, the beloved son of Yashoda use to get nice food every day. Kanha noticed that his friends never share or show what they get in lunch, so one day he insisted them to show what they got. With lot of hesitation finally Gops show him what they got with them. Kanha took every thing and mixed together. He equally divided it among all and made this wonderful meal called "Gopal kala". This story of Lord Krishna emulates  - sharing, caring and bonding among friends.
