Baby Krishna with Mother Yashoda and Nand Baba

This mural on the wall of Radha Krishna Mandir, measuring 12.67 x 5.47 feet, is a divine depiction of Baby Krishna with Mother Yashoda and Nand Baba. The painting illustrates the sacred moment when, witnessing Krishna's miraculous childhood pastimes, Yashoda and Nand Baba wondered whether Krishna would choose the path of scriptures (Shastra) or weapons (Shastra) in life. In this episode, Krishna chose the path of knowledge and dharma, indicating that the true purpose of human life is to walk on the path of wisdom and righteousness. Later, on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, Krishna delivered the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna, which became a timeless guide for humanity on dharma, duty, devotion, and knowledge. Krishna taught that one should walk the path of knowledge and peace, and only take up arms when it is necessary for the protection of righteousness.
