The Sacrifice of Nanda?

What do you guys think of the sacrifice of Nand baba in giving up his daughter for Krishna?

Was he right to sacrifice his daughter for the greater good or do you think Yashoda should have had a say?

I just can't make an opinion about it right now. Maybe I'll have to think about it.

But did he give up his daughter by choice??? I think this just happened as per the Lord's direction where yashoda and nand were really sleeping. Only Vasudev knew to do the deed and he did it.

According to SB, Nand and Rohini knew the truth.

And the God part if you ignore, then of course he did that by choice. Maybe, he didn't want to, but it was hard, conscious decision.

The good of the individual ultimately lies in the good of the society. I think Vasudeva had to do it for the rest of the population. There is a high chance that Yashoda would not have agreed if she had known that her daughter would going to die so, he kept it a secret.

The choice is between the individual right and the collective good.

That's true, Yashoda was such a nice lady, she would wholeheartedly have accepted Kanha but would definitely not support giving up on the girl!

Actually in some other sources it was that vasudev quietly enter nand baba house and quitely put Lord Krishna and quitely took baby girl from there and nand baba has no idea about it

But what ever happen neither nand baba remember incident neither vasudev remember this incident

. If we see vasudev was crossing river just by walking. Now no one can cross yamuna river by walking. But vasudev cross river by walking so it was god grace it was God power it was God wish that vasudev able to cross yamuna river by walking

According to God wish nand will sacrifice his daughter and after that according to God wish he will forget that he has any daughter
