Krishna Trance ( Jai Jai Vitthale)

There is a beautiful temple in Maharashtra. In Maharashtra, Krishna s name is Vitthal. There is a story behind the name. Vitthal means Sit down There was a great lover of Krishna. He had almost become absolutely absent as far as he himself was concerned. His old mother was almost dying and he was massaging her feet. It was a cold night. The story is beautiful. Now it becomes a parable; up to now, it may have been factual. Seeing that his devotee was serving his mother so totally he has forgotten to eat, to drink Krishna came to help. He stood behind him, but the man was so absorbed in massaging the feet of his mother he did not look behind him, although he had heard somebody come the footsteps.
