[Smt. Anita Renkuntla asked: Mata Yashoda played an important role in the life of Krishna. Lord Krishna married eight times after leaving Brindavan. But, I learnt that Mata Yashoda was not invited for any of the marriages of Lord Krishna. Is it true? If not, why was Yashoda not invited?]
Swami Replied: - All these are very small things and our nature is always to magnify negligible things and neglect very important points. It may be that Yaśodā and Devakī may have competition to sit as mother of Krishna. Since Yaśodā had already full-time entertainment with the childhood of Krishna, an opportunity might have been given to Devakī to sit in the rituals of marriages.
