“Krishna can never be understood until you have studied the Gita, for he was the embodiment of his own teaching. He has already given to you - the entire humanity - a small and wonderful book called Bhagawad Gita– just 700 couplets - only 1400 lines! but the concentrated juice of Hinduism!ĭrinking the juice in diluted form or concentrated form or not using it is in your own hands. Righto! Draupadi got X, Gopis got Y, Akrura got Z you may wonder what do I get? When there was very heavy rain and the cowherd boys ran helter shelter, he gave them an umbrella made up of Govardhana Hill !! Lord Krishna gave Viswarupa Darsanam to Arjuna and then to Bhisma. (Please read my post ‘Swami Vivekananda on Krishna and Gopis’ – posted here on March 8, 2014) When Gopis, girls from the cowherd community, gave him boundless love, he showered them with love thousand times more! (Please read my research paper on Krishna’s Diamond in USA? - posted here on 23 April 2012). When the Symantaka diamond led to many frauds and murders he gave it to Akrura! Arjuna was satisfied when Krishna said, “I will be your driver”. Krishna smiled at him andsaid,Dadastu! ‘pease take it’. Poor Duryodhana underestimated Krishna and asked for all his his army and weapons. When Duryodhana and Arjuna went for Lord Krishna’s help to win the war, Krishna gave the first chance to Duryodhana. It grew longer and longer that they could not do any harm to her. When Duschasana tried to remove her cloth, one after another appeared. When Draupadi was almost disrobed by Duschasana and his team in the assembly, Lord Krishna gave her saree. Atonce Sudama’s hut became a palatial building. Sudama who was a class mate of Krishna at school, took just a few handfuls of pounded rice (powa), when he went to see him at his palace. He have Sudama, a poor old friend, immense wealth. That is, Krishna was very generous and a great philanthrophist.
Lot of us who read Bagavatha Purana and Maha Bharata miss one important point. Moreover, if great people like Lord Krishna say something, we must listen to them. Thus, we learn that unnecessary curiosity is not good. What, courage man! what though care killed a cat, thou hast mettle enough in thee to kill care Later Shakespeare also used this in his drama Much ado about Nothing: “Helter skelter, hang sorrow, care will kill a cat, up-tails all, and a pox on the hangman”. We are reminded of the saying ‘Curiosity Killed the Cat’.īe Johnson used the following in his drama ‘Every Man in His Humour’ and Shakespeare acted in it: Tamil poet Thiruvalluvar in the Tamil Veda Tirukkural says,Ĭonsider the aim, the obstacle and the greatness of the ultimate gain and then resort to action- Kural 676 We can guess that he would have reached heaven because it was the holy wheel and it happened in front of the Lord. As soon as he received the wheel it cut his head. At last Krishna yielded to his demand and gave him the Wheel. But he was always nagging Krishna to leave the wheel with him. But Krishna told him that it would be dangerous, because it may cut his head off. He told Krishna that he would carry his Sudarsana wheel so that he could feel a bit relaxed. There was a cowherd by name Srimalikan who was great friend of Lord Krishna.
Now there is another story told by Perialvar, a Vaishnavite saint, who lived 1400 years ago. I have already given the story about Dadhipandan who got Moksha (liberation) for him and his pot. Strange stories about Lord Krishna are available in Tamil literature which are not found in Sanskrit scriptures. Krishna’s Friend died in ‘Wheel’ Accident! (Post No.5485)
