HARE KRISHNA
As you soe, so shall you reep , this life that we live is a gaint karma, every soul must go through the sins or good karma , Krma yog is fire that every soul burns and the he can reach the supreme(Krishna) , if you do good karma then the result is good and if you do sinful karma then the result is bad. Kansa's sinfull karma led him to his death. A person must endure the good aor bad result of his karma without any feelings of sorrow , ego, anger, exitement, one must not complain for the fruits he gets of his karma and take them as blessings of the lord, if he does this then he can attain eternal bliss(moksha).
in this chapter of Katha we shall see how after ending Kansa, shree krishna gives the kingdom back to his Grandfather Ugrasen, and Krishna's life in Ashram and his friendship with Sudhama.
Krishna had displayed his childhood-miracles at Gokul and Vrindavan. There he had eliminated a number of demons, unjust persons and sinners. Then, invited by Kansa, Krishna came to Mathura and did away with him along with his treacherous supporters. Next, he freed his parents and his grandfather, King Ugrasen and also enthroned him to wear his lost crown. Now Krishna bade farewell to Nand Baba and other milkmen of Vrindavan after giving them valuable gifts and showering due honors on them. Vasudeva, now, chalked out a program to make his sons step into Brahmacharya ashram duly according to the religious rites. A yajna was held and sacred thread ceremony of both the brothers was observed. Rohini had been called to Mathura to participate in all these religious rites. With clean-shaven heads, vermilion marks on their foreheads, mekhalas and lion-cloths on their waists and plasha rods in their hands, both the brothers looked very impressive indeed. Vasudeva, Devaki and Rohini were beside themselves with joy to see their sons through the ceremonies. They were overbubbling with filial affection indeed, through the ceremonies.
The sacred-thread ceremony having been over, Vasudeva decided to send his sons to some gurukula for education. After a thorough thinking, they were sent to Saint Sandipani's ashram located at Ujjain. Both the brothers threw themselves heart and soul into studies. They served their teacher with implicit devotion and he, in turn, was very happy with them. There were a number of other students too at the gurukula. One of them was Sudama, son of a poor Brahman. Krishna was very close to him. In course of time, they became bosom friends. One day the wife of Saint Sandipani asked Krishna to go to the forest and fetch dry wood for the havana. Krishna, accompanied by his close friend Sudama, went to the forest to collect and bring dry wood. As soon as they were ready to leave the forest with wood, a violent hazy storm, blew. It went on for a long time and both the friends lost their way. They roamed hither and thither along with the faggot of wood. The sun set and darkness prevailed all around. So, they were forced to pass the night under a tree. Next morning, the saint came to look for them. Seeing them with the wood, he felt very pleased at their obedience and showered blessings on them.
Krishna and Balram, being divine beings, were themselves a stare-house of knowledge. Their going to the gurukula aimed at establishing ideals for others and at highlighting the honour of the teacher in the society. In a short period of sixty-four days, they mastered the Vedas, Upvedas, other religious books and all the sorts. Saint Sandipani was amazed at the grasping power of both the brothers. But, his inner vision guided him on to understand that Krishna was an incarnate of Lord Vishnu. So, he viewed Krishna with great devotion in his heart of hearts. Having finished their schooling, Krishna and Balram took leave of Saint Sandipani and offered to pay guru-dakshina. After consultations with his wife, the saint said, "I want my son, who was drowned in the river while bathing some time back, to be alive." So, Krishna went to the Death-god and asked him to bring the saint's son to life and send him back to the earth to live with his parents. The saint was so pleased to have his son back. Then Krishna and Balram took leave of their schoolmates and returned to Mathura
