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
