Chapter – 269 – The legend of Lord Krishna -  120

Srimad Bhagavath Mahapuran predominantly speaks about Bhakti, Gnana and Vairagya/abandonment of Puthrekshana/attachment to family, Viththekshana/attachment to wealth and Lokeshana/attachment to worldly matters, and the ways to achieve them with a disciplined life, many of the illnesses are contributed by the mind and intellect.  In olden times, people were too disciplined and nature lovers, so they could foretell the natural calamities, and take precautions against it.  The Supreme Lord Krishna was too disciplined in his life so that he could foretell the troubles and take preventive measures against many disasters.  The mind and intellect originated from the supreme soul cannot stick on with a specific matter, or person, or desires for a long time, due to the influence of Maya and the impermanent nature of Prakrithi, it will start experiencing boredom shortly.

Shuka Bhramam speaks “ Oh! Rajan, the supreme Lord Madhava starts his day from the Bhrama Muhurtha, wash his face, hands, and legs, engages in meditation upon the supreme soul which is beyond ‘Thamas’/darkness of ignorance, greets the elderly people with great respect, take bath, and consume morning meal.  He performs Sandhyopasana, he performs veneration of Deva, Rishi, Pithru, elderly ones, Cows, and Vipradevatha, he pleases Sarvadevatha and Bhoothas. His charioteer Sathyaki keeps the chariot ready for him to make a visit to the assembly.   The supreme Lord with Udhdhava attends the assembly of members, where Lord Balarama and prominent members would be present already; it was the daily routine of Lord Krishna.   Once a messenger arrived in the assembly and introduced himself as a citizen of Magadha.  The city of Magadha was ruled by King Jarasandha went for Digvijaya and imprisoned nearly twenty thousand Kings to offer as Narabali to please the deity on the day of Paurnami.   The messenger prostrated before Krishna and begged to protect those Kings. “ Oh! Bhagavan, Oh! Krishna, I shall surrender at your lotus feet, I shall repeatedly prostrate before you, an ignorant forget your presence and immerses in the activities of Prakrithi, and they undergo endless miseries and troubles, without the knowledge that the closeness to you would remove the troubles. Kindly protect all those Kings who were imprisoned by Jarasandha.” The messenger prostrated before Krishna who looked at the face of Udhdhava seeking his opinion."
