(Jarasandha’s attack on Mathura)

Krishna kills Kamsa

He reflected as follows about the ways and means of achieving the purpose of His advent at the proper time and place.

Balarama had bound him by ropes and was about to kill him when Krishna stopped it, as there were many things to be achieved through him.

Every time the Vrishnis destroyed his

forces without any remnant, thanks to

Krishna’s prowess.

Jarasandha, however, was spared every

time allowed to go away.

Once Krishna requested Satrajit to hand over this jewel to the king of the Yadus. But in his greed of gold, the Yadava did not do so, unmindful of the evil consequences of rejecting the request.

Krishna & Arjuna

O Lord Varuna! My son should not be killed by anyone in this world. The pleased Varuna gave her boon.

अवध्योऽयं भवेल्लोके शत्रणूां तनयो मम।वरुणस्त्वब्रवीत ्प्रीतो ददाम्यस्मै विं द्रहतम॥् महा। िोणपवाय।

avadhyo'yaṃ bhavelloke śatrūṇāṃ tanayo mama।varuṇastvabravīt prīto dadāmyasmai varaṃ hitam॥

This weapon should not be thrown on the person who does not fight in the war, if it so, it will fall on your head and kill you.

अयुध्यनत न मोक्तव्या सा त्वय्येव पतेद्रदनत।हन्यादेषा प्रतीपं द्रह प्रयोक्तािमवप प्रभो॥ महा। िोणपवाय।ayudhyati na moktavyā sā tvayyeva patediti।hanyādeṣā pratīpaṃ hi prayoktāramapi prabho॥

Sruthayudha, did not listen to

Varuna’s instruction. With the

weapon he attacked Janardana.

न िाकिोत ्स तद्वाक्यं प्राप्ते काले श्रुतायु :।स तया वीिघानतन्या जनादयनमताडयत॥् महा। िोणपवाय।na cākarot sa tadvākyaṃ prāpte kāle śrutāyudha:।sa tayā vīraghātinyā janārdanamatāḍayat॥

• Sometimes don’t act or react

• Simply sit and watch

• Problem will be solved by itself

THE FINAL MESSAGE

(Dharma to Moksha)

Whatever the great man does, that other

men also do (imitate); whatever he sets up as

the standard, that the world (people) follows.

SRI KRISHNA – THE MAN

BG. 3. 21

SRI KRISHNA – THE AVATARA

He who thus knows, in true light, My divine birth

and action, having abandoned the body, he is not

born again; he comes to Me, O Arjuna.

BG. 4. 9

SRI KRISHNA – THE ISHWARA

These worlds would perish if I do not perform action;

I should be the author of confusion of classes and

should destroy these beings.

BG. 3. 24

SRI KRISHNA – THE BRAHMAN

All this world is pervaded by Me in my Un-manifest form;

all beings exist in Me, but I do not dwell in them.
