ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo
mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate

Story : Radhika Mataji narrated the story of how Mother Yashoda saw the universe in Krsna's mouth.
Once, Krishna and Balarama, along with their friends Sudhama and Subala, were playing in front of the house on a sunny morning. The boys sat on the ground, and each had dug up some of the moist earth with their hands and playing with the mud. They built cute small houses with mud. Krishna looked at all the other houses and said that His house looked better than theirs.
But Balaram, Subala and Sudama said that Krsna's house looked terrible and not even a worm would live in His house. When Balarama,Subala and Sudama all burst out laughing, Krishna angrily stood up and kicked their houses down. Balaram said that it was not fair and kicked down Krsna's house. But Krishna didn't mind, for it was all part of the fun and He replied that He is going to build another one, and it'll be even better than the first. So, Balaram said that theirs would be much better than Krsna's. But Krsna protested that only His house would be the best.
They immediately began re-constructing their tiny mud houses, totally absorbed in their play. Occasionally, they would glance at each other's creations,and then resume their building. During one such glance, Balarama noticed that Krishna was eating some of the mud. Balaram asked Him to stop eating mud. Krsna replied not to worry but Balaram said that it would make Him sick.
Just then mother Yashoda entered the courtyard and Balarama pointed to Krsna and told Mother Yashoda that Krsna was eating mud. Mother Yashoda was surprised and asked Him why He was eating mud. Krsna told Mother Yashoda that Balaram and His friends were lying because He kicked down their houses.
Finally, Mother Yashoda ordered Him to open His mouth. Krsna smiling opened His mouth just like an ordinary boy. Mother Yashoda looked inside Krishna's mouth, she did not see His tongue or His teeth or His throat. What she saw was the most amazing sight she had ever seen in her life. All she could see is the planets, mountains, oceans, rivers, sun, moon, stars, bird, animals, and all the living beings. She even saw herself with Krishna.
She thought if what she was seeing was real or dream and wondered may be she was seeing this because of the Supreme Lord. She prayed to the Lord. Then she fell unconscious. By looking at His mother, Krishna made her forget what she saw.
After sometime mother Yashoda woke and she didn't remember anything that had happen before.
Finally, the class was concluded with the coloring picture of Mother Yashoda and Krsna.
Looking forward to seeing all of you in the next class.
Haribol!!!
