The Departure Of Krishna

HARE KRISHNA

In this last chapter of Krishna Katha, tears roll down the cheeks for this is the most sadest and painful chapter, in this chapter Krishna leaves his bidy and returns to his adobe. every devotee of krishna will be sad after reading it. W e always wished for Krishna to stay , but this is world is called MRITULOK meaning anyone who is born in this world has to leave even the supreme.

As mentioned in the Final note , shree krishna was given a curse by Duryodhana's mother when Krishna went to see her after the war, she gave a curse stating that as she has seen her children die in front of her, so will Krishna see his children and relatives die in from of him, the Supreme Lord smiled and took the curse as blessing, after words Duryodhana's mother realized her mistake that she did in anger and asked for forgiveness in front of the lord, Krishna smiled and said " Don't Apollogies , you are like my mother." Krishna gave huge sacrifice for his devotees and he lost his brother and his sons and grandsons.

Shree Krishna one day was under a people tree when a hunter by mistake shot an arrow at him, this arrow proved fatal, but as Krishna was leaving his body he blessed the hunter and after 125 years and wiping out all the sinners of that time and relieving the Earth, Krishna left.

According to the sriptures the hunter that shot Krishna was King Bali of Kishkindha, the same who lord RAMA killed, Lord Ram killed bali from bihind and made sugreev the king ( In ramayana) and so Krishna paid of that dept by getting hit by the hunter( Reincarnation of Bali) from behind.

This shows that Weather it is us the devotees or the lord, everyone must go through the fires of Karma yog before attaining Moksha.

After mahabharat was over, krishna went to Duryodhana's mother- Kunti. She was so angry with Krishna that she gave krishna aq curse, " Your whole family will be killed in front of your eyes as has mine". Krishna accepted the curse with a smile. But after some time Kunti realised that she had done wrong, but Krishna said "You are like my mother and a curse from your mouth is like a blessing for me".Also once there lived a Brahman at Dwarika. Whenever a child was born to him, it died. So, the Brahman was very grieved. He used to place the dead infant at the royal gate and go away. This happened many a time and once in the presence of Arjun too who had come to see Krishna. Seeing the Brahman in grief, Arjuna gave him a pledge to save his next child. But this time, the infant dramatically disappeared soon after its birth. Arjuna was highly perturbed to see his pledge broken and so he got ready for self-immolation. How could Krishna brook it? Krishna took Arjuna to Lord Narayana who said, "Arjuna ! I wanted to see you along with Krishna. So, this drama of the disappearance of the Brahman's son was enacted." Saying so, the Lord returned all the children of the Brahman to Arjuna who duly handed them over to their father. Having been offended with the Krishna's family, the local Brahmans uttered a curse on them, "All of you will die fighting among yourselves." Balram had already passed away and most of the other members of Krishna's family also died fighting. One day Krishna was sitting under a peepal tree. Taking his brilliant heel to be the eye of a deer, a hunter shot an arrow at it. Then Krishna delivered a sermon to Maitreya and asked Uddhav to meditate at Badrinath. Thus relieving the Earth of all the sinners of the time, Krishna returned to his heavenly abode.
