The practice of Dhukh Samyoga Viyoga Yoga is the preparation of mind and intellect not to get attached to things or people while taking pleasure in the worldly matters so that it would not heave into the darkness of grief, miseries, and sorrows.   The constant practice of contemplation upon the supreme Lord brings purity within oneself and the outer world as well. Eventually it removes all the worldly desires and attachments.  The intense devotion and faith upon supreme Lord and practice of meditation upon him would bring the serenity of mind, ultimately the mind and intellect wedges with the supreme soul which has the nature of permanent bliss.

Shuka Bhramam speaks “ Oh! Rajan, the supreme Lord assumed the form of a marvelous child at the request of Devi Devaki.   Vasudeva took the child in his hands as per the instruction of the Lord, and prepared to leave to Gokulam, and bring back the girl child who is Yogamaya born to Devi Yasodha.  The moment Vasudeva moved forward, the doors of the prison were wide open as its own, Devi Devaki and Vasudeva got freed themselves from the iron chain fastened all these years, the guards of the prison fallen into a deep sleep.  It was dark hours of the night; there were brilliant rays of moon gleaming through the dark clouds followed by the heavy downpour.  Vasudeva moved out of the prison with the child in hand.  He found himself and the child was not drenched in rain, even though the heavy rain splashing all around, he noticed that the serpent Anantha was holding its thousands of hood over the child.  Vasudeva moved through the pathways and reached on the banks of the river Yamuna that was brimming with the powerful water current, separates the city of Mathura and Gokulam.   The overflowing river Yamuna amiably paved her way for Vasudeva.  Finally, Vasudeva arrived in Gokulam where everyone was in deep sleep, the doors were wide open, and he was guided by a divine light to the chamber of Devi Yasodha who is the wife of Nandababa.  Vasudeva found Devi Yasodha was fast asleep, and the newborn girl child is wide awake.  Vasudeva carefully placed Krishna near Devi Yasodha and took the baby girl wrapped in the clothes.  He returned to prison and handed the girl child to Devi Devaki, immediately the doors of the prison were closed, the baby girl produced a shriek, the guards were got out of deep sleep, once again Devi Devaki and Vasudeva fastened with the iron chain.  Eventually, the guards ran out of the prison to inform Kamsa.”
