One day on Govardhana Hill, Krishna and his friends were playing a game. Some pretended to be thieves, others lambs. Suddenly, someone joined - a boy who didn't look quite right. It was actually Vyomasura, a demon using magic to disguise himself and kidnap the boys one by one, sealing them inside caves. Before long, he had almost all of Krishna's friends captured.
Krishna noticed the missing friends and tracked the demon to the cave. He grabbed the disguised figure by the collar. Realizing his plan had failed, Vyomasura reclaimed his true form growing huge like a mountain demon to intimidate Krishna.
Without hesitation, Krishna seized the demon's legs, lifted him high, and slammed him onto the ground with all his might. Vyomasura hit the earth so hard that he collapsed and died in an instant. One version likens how Krishna handled him "just like a lion catches a jackal."
Krishna then freed the cowherd boys from the caves-safe and sound, without a scratch. The heavens celebrated too, demigods showered flowers, and Krishna's friends cheered as they saw divine justice in action.
So next time you feel something's off, remember Krishna's example: pay attention, be brave, and protect the ones who matter most.
