HOW KRISHNA BECAME LADDOO GOPAL

In Braj Dham, there lived a Krishna bhakt Kumbhandas Ji. He had a small child Raghunath Ji. One day, he was invited to Vrindavan for Bhagavad Katha.
As he used to offer food to Krishna daily, he was unwilling to go to Vrindavan.

He decided to prepare food in the morning before going and come back by night daily in time to prepare next morning prasad.
He told his son Raghunath Ji to offer food to Krishna on time.
Next day, Raghunath Ji put food before Krishna and asked him to eat. Nothing happened.
Since he was a child, he thought that Krishna was angry with him and so he cried and cried. Krishna couldn’t stop himself and he took the form of a small child and ate the food.
At night, Kumbhandas Ji returned n asked for prasad but his son told him that Krishna had eaten all.
He thought his son must be hungry so he had all the prasadam. This started daily, he daily asked for prasadam but his son replied the same. So one day Kumbhandas Ji decided to hide when his son was offering food to Krishna.
Suddenly, he saw Krishna appear in the form of a baby.
One laddoo was in one hand and other laddoo Krishna was about to eat. Kumbhandas ji ran and touched the lotus feet of Krishna. Immediately Krishna froze with laddoos in hand. Since that day, devotees started worshipping Krishna as Laddoo Gopal.

2. End the workday with a shutdown ritual

Create a short shutdown ritual (hat-tip to Cal Newport). Close your laptop, plug in the charger, spend 2 minutes tidying your desk. Then say, "shutdown."

Separating your life and work is key.

3. Journal 1 beautiful life moment

Delicious tacos, presentation you crushed, a moment of inner peace. Write it down.

Gratitude programs a mindset of abundance.

4. Lay out clothes

Get exercise clothes ready for tomorrow. Upon waking up, jump rope for 2 mins. It will activate your mind + body.
