WE HAVE BEEN CHEATED... KRISHNA ISN'T OUR CHILD

Something I always wondered about.
While Krishna and Balarama were present in Vrndavana, Nanda and Yasoda thought He was their natural born son although we know that Mother Yasoda actually gave birth to a female child and that Vasudeva switched the babies in the middle of the night.

But after Krishna and Balarama leave Vrndavana to take up their duties in Mathura and it is reveled what has happened Nanda and Yasoda are left with nothing at all. Not only do they not have Krishna and Balarama but the child that took birth of them, the female child is also gone. Kamsa, thinking the child might somehow be Krishna or one of Krishna's emissaries killed the baby. He couldn't kill her because she revealed herself as Durga devi.

When the truth of Krishna's actual birth is revealed and Krishna leaves for Mathura, it is not that Nanda and Yasoda say, "Oh we have been tricked. Our actual child has been taken from us. We will have no lineage now. No wedding ceremony. No grandchildren. We have been cheated by Vasudeva. Forget Krishna. We want her back. She was our real child."

"Krishna and Yogamaya appeared as brother and sister-the Supreme Powerful and the supreme power. Although there is no clear distinction between the Powerful and the power, power is always subordinate to the Powerful Those who are materialistic are worshipers of the power, but those who are transcendentalists are worshipers of the Powerful Krishna is the Supreme Powerful, and Durga is the supreme power within the material world.

Actually people in the Vedic culture worship both the Powerful and the power. There are many hundreds of thousands of temples of Vishnu and Devi, and sometimes they are worshiped simultaneously. The worshiper of the power, Durga, or the external energy of Krishna; may achieve all kinds of material success very easily, but anyone who wants to be elevated transcendentally must engage in worshiping the Powerful in Krsna consciousness" KB 2
