Story: Krishna

Image
Lord Vishnu was fed up with the sin that was happening on the Earth’s because he is the God of Preservation and he is the only one who keeps everything in check on Earth so nothing goes wrong. A lot of people prayed to him every day to save them demons that were wreaking havoc on the Earth. After hearing those prayers of millions and millions of people he decided to do the craziest thing and that to reincarnate on earth to destroy demons and bring the peace to the world.   Lord Vishnu knew if he went to earth he would probably destroy the whole earth because Earth wouldn’t be able to handle his weight. Then he thought of sending his avatar into a mortal body so it doesn’t destroy the earth make it worse. In next three days he was thinking where to born, then he suddenly saw a family from heaven. The family didn’t have a child because that woman was unable to give birth to their family didn’t have any heir. He decided to reincarnate in that family and bless them so th

Reading Notes: Shri Krishna of Dwarka and Other Stories Part B

The topic I choose to write is on Krishna and the book is called Shri Krishna of Dwarka and Other Stories and from that, I choose to take notes on chapter one “The Passing of Krishna” from part B. This chapter is just about the destruction of the Kingdom of Krishna and how did his death happen. My favorite part and most annoying from this story was that when Prince Samba went and dressed up as a married wife and they said, "This beautiful girl," they said, "has hopes of a child and she is very anxious that it should be a son. She is too shy to speak for herself, so she has asked us to speak to you for her. She is sure that by seeing you, all her hopes will be fulfilled." And they were trying to mock a rishi and because of that the prince Samba got cursed. I hate this kind of people they know that will lead to bad consequence but they don’t understand.              My second favorite and sad part of this chapter is the death of Krishna. It sad how he di

Reading Notes: Shri Krishna of Dwarka and Other Stories Part A

The topic I choose to write is on Krishna and the book is called Shri Krishna of Dwarka and Other Stories and from that, I choose to take notes on chapter one “The Coming of Krishna” from part A. This first chapter is just about why Krishna is coming and what are the reasons to come to earth and his birth story.   My favorite part from this story was that I got to know who Kansa was because he was the reincarnation of Kalanemi demon and he the grandson of Hiranyakashipu, whom the Lord Vishnu killed in half man and half lion form. I really never knew he had this kind of background.                         Another thing that I liked is how the Lord Vishnu responded after hearing the Earth’s complaint then he pulled out one white and black hair and he said, “ These two hairs shall take human form. The white hair shall be born as  Balarama   and shall be the incarnation of my serpent  Shesha . The black hair shall be my incarnation. He shall be born as  Krishna  and shall slay Kansa a

One day King Drupada, King of Panchala Kingdom was doing a ritual to pleased the God of Fire and that ritual is called Putrakameshti. He did succeed and God of Fire was pleased with his ritual so appear in front of King Drupada. God of Fire said, “I was pleased with your ritual, so now I will give you a boon and you can have whatever you want.” Hearing that King Drupada couldn’t hide his excitement and almost starting laughing and felt everything was going his way. Now nobody can stop me from having my revenge on Dronacharya. King Drupada said, “Oh God of Fire Please give me a daughter who will destroy my enemy and will get revenge for me.” God of Fire was surprised hearing what he said; he thought he would want something else. Anyway, he was here to grant his wish so he didn’t think much about it. God of Fire said, “The wish has been granted.” Then God of Fire vanish into thin air and as soon as the God of Fire left, The Holy fire that was burning in the ritua

Reading Notes: Mahabharata: The Greatest Spiritual Epic of All Time Part B.

The book that I choose to write my notes is on Mahabharata: The Greatest Spiritual Epic of All Time.  From Reading B I chose to take notes on chapter 1.10: Draupadi’s Svayamvar. This was one of my favorite chapters because of the tournament that happens in this chapter was interesting because I am a really big fan of tournament any kind of. This chapter was about Draupadi marriage and to pick the husband for Draupadi they held the tournament to pick her husband and if you want to become her husband you have to hit the eye of the fish in the air by looking at the reflection of the fish in the water. My favorite part where Arjuna and that was my favorite part of this whole chapter he did what nobody could do at the tournament but there was Karna he would have also won the tournament but Draupadi didn’t want him as her husband so he was banned from participating in the Svayamvar. That the only thing I didn’t like about this chapter. He also had the skills to compete but Draupadi didn’t l
