Genuine Love!


When members of Vrsni, Bhoja & Andhaka dynasties learnt about Pāndavās exile, they came to visit them, as did Pāncālas, Kaikeya rulers & Cedi King Dhrstaketu. After offering respects to Maharaja Yudhisthira & being honored by him in return, these kings headed by Sri Krsna, seated themselves to discuss the situation


As Krsna heard about misdeeds of Kauravas, he became agitated with rage. At last, he solemnly declared: The earth will drink blood of Duryodhana, Karna, Dushasana & wicked Sakuni. After killing them & their followers we’ll appoint pious Yudhisthira on Hastinapur throne. The wicked deserve to be slain, for this is an eternal principle of morality


It appeared as if Krsna was about to destroy entire creation along with all its living beings. To pacify him, Arjuna narrated Krsna's glorious pastimes enacted in His various incarnations


Arjuna said: O Krsna! In ancient times you appeared as Nārāyana Rsi & for 10000 years You wandered through Gandhamādana mountains without accepting any fixed shelter. Then for 10000 years, You resided by the side of Lake Pushkara subsisting on water alone. Then, with arms raised & standing on one leg, You passed 100 years in Badrikāshrama, maintaining Yourself simply by breathing


Your body then reduced to a mere bundle of veins & You spent 12 years on banks of Sarasvati, engaged in sacrificial performance. After this for 1000 celestial years, You resided near Lake Prabhāsa standing on 1 leg. Vyāsdeva told us that You’re the original cause of all creation-the beginning, middle & end of all things. After killing all Demons & giving kingdom of 3 worlds to Indra, You’ve now appeared on this earth in human society


Previously becoming son of Aditi, You appeared as Indrā’s younger brother. Even as a child You covered universe with only 3 steps. Indeed, in many incarnations You have slain 1000’s of wicked demons. And yet You are devoid of anger, cruelty & untruth as You’re transcendentally situated beyond material qualities. As Absolute truth You undergo no deterioration & all great demigods & sages come to Your shelter seeking protection. At the end of Yuga all things rest in You so that only You remain


As Arjuna became silent contemplating magnitude of Krsnā’s greatness, Lord lovingly said: You’re mine & I’m yours. Whatever belongs to me belongs to you as well. He who hates you, simultaneously envies me & he that adores you and follows you, worships Me automatically. You’re Nara & I’m Nārayana & we’ve appeared on earth to execute a particular mission


The Lord & his pure devotees have a natural loving relationship. All living beings being part & parcel of Supreme Lord himself, share same love. But when we are in bodily conception, we forget this relationship and go thro’ extreme pain & tribulations in many million lives, born in different bodies


One who loves Krsna, loves everything & one who doesn't cannot really love anyone. This is the core of Universal brotherhood

  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...

Grudge-The heaviest thing to hold! Asvattāma hurriedly yoked horses to his chariot & set out, as Krpa & Krtvarma anxiously followed him. He soon arrived at Pāndava camp & saw a gigantic being with enormous head with flames emanating from his eyes, nose, ear & mouth   Asvattāma fearlessly attacked that awesome being with his celestial weapons but failed in all his attempt. He thought to himself: Krpa had warned me that persons who don’t listen to their elders must lament later. The frustration of my attempt must be due to its inherently sinful nature. I wonder who is this astonishing being that has defeated me. Obviously further exertion on my part will be useless until my destiny is favourable. Let me now take shelter of my worshipful Lord Siva & seek his guidance   Asvattāma got down from his chariot & fervently prayed to Lord Siva offering his body, mind & soul. Lord Siva personally appeared & smilingly said: Dear Asvattāma, there is...
