|| Om Namo Bhagavathe Vasudevaya||

Chapter – 299 – The legend of Lord Krishna -  150

It was after the glorious battle in the Kurukshetra, the entire Kurus were killed in the battle and there has five Pandavas, Devi Kunthi, Devi Dhraupadhi, and Devi Uththara remained. Devi Gandhari expressed her desire to see the corpse of her hundred children, although she could not see them while they were alive.  The compassionate Lord Krishna took Devi Gandhari and Dhritarashtra to the battlefield was surrounded by the remaining Pandavas.  Devi Gandhari could not bear the misfortune of her children, watching the corpse, she became unconsolable cursed Lord Krishna who was stood beside her with a serene smile, she cursed Krishna that his children would face brutal death before his eyes, he will witness the destruction of the entire clan of Yadhava, and it would remove the smile from his face forever. The supreme Krishna who is the knower of all was least frightened, he was neither shocked nor alarmed.   Thus the Supreme Lord Krishna was well prepared long ago to face the annihilation of his entire clan.


Shuka Bhramam speaks “ Oh! Rajan, people who are soaked in chasing the pleasure of senses do not surrender their mind and intellect at the lotus feet of Mukunda, would be chased by the fear of death always.   The Supreme Lord Krishna was too quiet in the last few days before leaving for his Dhama.  He was quite sure that his intervention on the lives of his children will not be going to save their lives. Vasudeva was besieged with extreme trepidation and restlessness watching the future of Yadhava clan, children have become deceitful and immoral, soaked in intoxicating drinks, illicit relationships, extreme anger, desire, lust, selfishness, ego, pride, and jealousy.  Vasudeva miserably looked at Krishna who was serene and secluded in his life, understood that he could not protect the Yadhava clan.  Vasudeva lost peace of mind, sleep and restlessness met Maharishi Narada in the palace of Dwaraka.”



Vasudeva prostrated before Maharishi Narada, washed his feet, and offered him a raised seat, Vasudeva began to speak “ Oh! Mahamune, the clan of Yadhu is facing an extremely difficult situation, moving towards its end.  Oh!  Deenavathsala, I would like to hear the Bhagavatha Dharma, I am not aware of it and kindly elevate my soul from the clutches of an intense fear of death. Oh! Suvritha, I have contemplated upon Lord to get the Lord as my child, for the welfare of the souls, unfortunately, I did not learn anything from Krishna to elevate my soul.  I was soaked in Devamaya/illusion, could not elevate my soul and worship Krishna.  It is a kind of unique grief/Vichithra vyasanam, I could not get out of the worldly matters and bondage, even after attaining the supreme Lord Krishna as my child. Oh! Suvritha, kindly accept me as your disciple, and advice me to elevate my soul.” Maharishi Narada was pleased with the humbleness of Vasudeva and began to advise him.
