Mural of Lord Krsna's pastimes in Vrindavan

I happened upon an artist by the name of Emma V Moore that created a strip of paintings detailing Lord Krsna's pastimes in Vrindavan. Enjoy! Jai Sri Krsna!

Those are incredible, thank you so much for sharing.

Question, in the last mural where Lord Krishna is exhaling red smoke, what is the story or significance?

I'm glad you asked Maija ji! That lila of Lord Krsna is of Him swallowing up all the fire that was burning down a forest. In the picture he is inhaling, not exhaling, the fire that is burning down the forest, to protect the flora and fauna, as well as the inhabitants of Vrindavan

How merciful He is! Thank you for the explanation, my friend!

How did the fire start? Is it in the BG that I can read about it?

The fire started due to the summer heat at the time, i imagine it can get very hot in India. Of course, one could say it was a coincidence the blazing fire appeared, but in my opinion it definitely appeared from Krsna's will, to create a lila, a pastime, for Him, Lord Balarama and the gopas to enjoy.

There were two fires that were recorded in the Srimad Bhagavatam, the first one happened after the chastising of Kaliya, Chapter 17 of the 10th Canto, and the second one appeared when Lord Krsna, Lord Balaram and the gopas were trying to find their cows, on Chapter 19th of the 10th Canto. The 18th Chapter of the 10th Canto showcases Lord Balarama's immense power, and the gopas' love for him

Enjoy!

Just like the Lord swallows the forest fire that was plaguing Vraja, He can also swallow the great forest fire of material existence that has been burning us jivas from time immemorial!

Btw: this is such a beautiful mural Tereseji, thank you so much! Bhuri dah! Bhuri dah!

I think im going to try and print this out & give as a gift! It would look great framed.

Its so lovely, I will look up those chapters.

These are very nice. I searched the internet for "Emma V More", "Emma More" + "artist" and so on, no luck. Does this artist have any public presence, or is this someone you happened upon and is simply doing their own art at home or other? How did you happen upon the art/artist? Sometimes I happen upon an artist at one of those street fairs where local artists display their works and try to sell their art. Or was this simply someone you met at a temple? Very good murals, thanks, and a good artist.
