      Lord Krishna in his childhood used to be very naughty like hundreds other children. He had a strong liking for butter. He along with his friends used to steal butter because of his strong liking for the milk-product. But despite this all the Gopis in Vraj (place in India where Krishna grew up) loved him. It is said that Krishna would steal the butter, that the Gopis would prepare. The Gopis would keep complaining to Yashoda (Krishna's foster mother) that Krishna steals their butter and breaks their urns full of water. One day Yashoda got very angry with Krishna and ran after him. But she could not catch him. You know why? Because while she was running after Krishna, his back was towards her. And the back stands for all the wrong things. So that means that if you are running after the wrong things in life, you will not be able to catch Krishna.
