Epified: Krishna, Part B
- Brahma, upon observing Krishna share the food off of his
plate with his fellow cowherders and friends was surprised and perplexed at his
generosity. To test the young man, he kidnapped the cows and villagers for the
equivalent of one year, but Krishna created replicas of the lost creatures and
people from himself and fooled all involved. In the end, Brahma bowed down to
Krishna’s divinity after the ordeal.
- Against the warnings of his friends and brother, Krishna vowed to try and ride the vicious bull Hastin. To become acquainted with the beast before Poornima, Krishna played music for him and fed him sweet straw until after an amount of time he trusted him. When the time came, Krishna mounted him and shocked his audience who learned a lesson of kindness through his example of befriending the wild creature.
- After being denied by his parents when he asked to marry his soulmate Radha, Krishna was brought to the family priest, Gargacharya who told him the truth of his birth and fate as the deliverer that the sages have anticipated, the savior of Dharma.
- Kansa organized an event called Dhanur Yajna and sent his servant Akrur to invite Krishna and Belram in one final attempt at altering his impending destruction, but Akrur ended up spilling the beans on this plan when he went to fetch them since he was starstruck by Krishna. Stepping up to face his fate, Krisha went along despite the pushback of the gopi’s and cowherder’s of Vrindavin who were saddened and scared to see him leave the village.
- There was a warm welcome for the brothers in Mathura and on the off chance they got on someone’s wrong side, the were quickly able to solve disputes and became known for their kindness. Krishna even healed a deformed woman of her disabilities from a hug.
- Kansa tried to kill Krishna and Belram by trampling with an aggressive elephant called Kuvalayapida in one final attempt at changing the grave prophecy fast approaching, but this creature was no match for Krisna who rendered it unconscious with a single punch. In a last ditch effort he even sent wrestlers before the brothers reached the event, but again they were no match. They then proceeded to participate in the Dhanur Yagya, with Krisna lifting the divine bow shocking the crowd. This object was made by Lord Shiv and was meant for Vishnu. While stringing the instrument, it snapped and with this omen of imminent death Kansa set his army on the brothers but once again to no avail. Before he was able to flee the scene, he took his last breath after the brothers successfully attacked him.
- Krisha freed his grandfather Ugrasen and his birth parents Devaki and Vasudev who were all locked up by the tyrant Kansa, and Ugrasen was made king of Mathura and the family was together in one kingdom again.
- Angered at the news of his ally’s death, Jarasandh (king of Magadh) wanted to wage war against Mathura. Since Krishna wanted to keep his citizens safe, his grandfather agreed to have divine architect Vishwakarma build the city Dwarka for the Mathurans so that their enemy would find an empty city upon his next attack. In this new location, Krishna was crowned King. Knowing the fate of Jarasandh was well away in the hands of Bhima the Pandava, he didn’t kill Jarasandh and his city though he could have.
