  • Summary

  • This story narrates a beautiful and rare incident. One day, the Gopis needed to cross the Yamuna River to offer food to Sage Agastya. When they asked Lord Krishna for guidance, he told them to say to the Yamuna, "If Krishna is a celibate, grant us a path." Amused, the Gopis repeated the phrase, and to their surprise, the river gave way.


    Later, after offering food to Sage Agastya, they faced the same dilemma. The sage told them to say, "If Agastya is a lifelong fasting sage, grant us a path." Despite witnessing him eat, the Yamuna again complied. Confused, the Gopis returned to Krishna, who explained that both he and Sage Agastya are detached from worldly desires. Krishna’s celibacy and Agastya's fasting reflect their spiritual purity, not worldly actions.
