Red line❗

As Bhisma confidently proposed Sr Krsna’s name for Arghya offering, he ordered Sahadev to present it. However, when the Lord graciously accepted the offering, Sisupāla couldn’t tolerate it & said with great agitation-O Bhisma! How could you dare mislead Sahadev, who is but a child? On what basis did you select Krsna as the foremost personality present here, passing other more important persons?
 
If seniority is criterion for selection, Krsna’s father Vasudev is the eldest. If you consider Guru should be given preference, Drona or Krpa should be chosen. If distinction is to be given to saintly personality, Vyāsdev, Nārada or other great sages can be chosen. Why Krsna? He said to Yudhisthira-O King! If your choice was made to honor your allies, Drupada should be chosen. Krsna is not a preceptor, priest, or King. Indeed, he’s not even pious, what to speak of saintly. He acts immorally without shame as in the deceitful killing of Jarāsandha
 
If you intended to offer the first worship to Krsna, why did you invite all these exalted kings to come here & be insulted. Turning to Krsna, Sisupāla said: O Vāsudev! Even if it is granted that others acted foolishly to choose you, how could You dare accept the Arghya? At least you should be enlightened enough to understand that You are unworthy of such worship
 
Saying this Sisupāla stormed out of the assembly followed by many kings. Yudhisthira hastily ran after & tried to pacify him, but Bhisma restrained him by saying that anyone who does not approve of the worship to Krsna doesn’t deserve words of conciliation. Addressing the entire assembly Bhisma boldly declared-It is not only me but all great personalities who consider Krsna as the Supreme Lord. He is the origin & refuge of everything. Even as child he acted in superhuman manner. Sisupāla is a mere boy & doesn’t understand the transcendental glories of the Lord
 
Sahadev then thundered-If there is anyone in the assembly who objects to the worship of Krsna, I’m prepared to place my foot upon his head. I challenge all to reply if you feel that my words are faulty. After saying this, Sahadev lifted his foot, but no one dared to say anything. Nārada Muni stood up & loudly said-Anyone who does not worship Lord Krsna should be considered a dead body even though breathing & should never be seen nor talked to on any occasion. This is the injunction in scriptures
 
The assembly settled down again so that Sahadev can complete the offering of Arghya
 
There is always a red line which should not be crossed. There are some fundamentals which should never be encroached upon & defending the same should be the utmost responsibility without fail
 
We all are custodians of principles & should selflessly act to uphold it & not become opportunistically self-centered. Our mind reacts impulsively to external perceptions & internal recollections, becoming allured by some things & appalled by others. We need to follow scriptures & foremost thing is its knowledge
 
Let's read, implement & gain respect!

  Never Fall down!   Arjun released an Agni weapon that brightly lit up entire sky. Karna invoked a Varuna weapon that quenched the fire by creating clouds with a Vayavya weapon & then released a favourite weapon of Indra that made thousands of arrows issues forth from his G ā ndiva bow   While being pierced all over, Karna countered Aindra weapon with a Bh ārgava weapon & proceeded to kill many of the foremost Pāncāla warriors. Seeing this, Bhima’s anger blazed up like fire. He chastised his brother by saying: O Arjun, how can you allow these great warriors to be killed within your very sight? Please remember how Karna had insulted Draupadi? Give up your indifference & kill him without delay!   Sri Krsna said: Dear Arjun, you must exert your full prowess now, if need be, you can take help from my Sudarshan Cakra!   After momentarily considering the purpose of his appearance in this world, Arjun replied: Lord, with your permission as ...

  Make or break!   When Salya agreed to drive Karna’s chariot only on condition that he must be allowed to speak freely whatever he likes, Duryodhana and Karna readily agreed & thus a contract was made. Duryodhana flattered Salya by comparing him to Lord Brahmā, who formerly became Shiva’s charioteer at the time of destroying Tripura   Duryodhana concluded his long talk by saying: Dear Salya, Parasurāma delivered the entire science of weapons to Karna. Therefore, we must intelligently conclude that Karna cannot really be a sutā’s son. He must be the offspring of a demigod born in a Kshatriya family & then abandoned at infancy. Otherwise, why would Parasurāma agreed to instruct him in the complete use of weapons?   Salya replied: I have heard on numerous occasions the story of how Lord Brahmā became Lord Siva’s charioteer. You should not place so much faith in your plans, because even if Arjun is killed, Sri Krsna will exterminate the entire Kaurav...

  Krsna’s plan!   As Asvattāma asked Krpa about what happened to his father Drona, with great anguish Krpa said: My dear Asvattāma, your father was killed by Dhrishtadyumna. Knowing Drona to be invincible as long as he would wield his weapons, Sri Krsna ordered Yudhisthira to falsely inform him of your death. When your father heard this shocking news, he put down his weapons. Seeing this Dhrishta rushed at him brandishing his sword. All the Pāndava warriors forbade him, and Arjun rushed towards him with upraised arms, pleading: Do not kill our Preceptor. Bring him to us alive, but despite this Dhrishta beheaded Drona as he sat in meditation   Hearing this, Asvattāma became mad with rage. While wringing his hands & grinding his teeth, he told Duryodhana: O King, no one should lament for my father’s death, for he has certainly attained a very exalted destination. Still, I cannot tolerate the fact that Dhrishtadyumna seized my father by the hair. I thus hereby vo...
