The less known things

Death of Krishna

The curse of Gandhari served as the end of Lord Krishna, who cursed him that his kingdom shall perish by flood. Gandhari was a true devotee of Lord Vishnu and her curse had to serve as the ultimatum for Krishna. The Yadavs were killed by their own men and the kingdom eventually flooded away and engulfed. The elder brother Balram, vexed due to the disaster sat in meditation, but was taken away by Adisesha. Lord Krishna was killed by a hunter's arrow which is believed to be a part of mysticism which destroyed Dwarka.

Mahabharat's effect

After Krishna killed Kansa, he became the king. In the epic Mahabharata tale, Krishna spoke memorable words on the essence of pure spiritual devotion. Krishna lived with Pandavas and Kauravas who ruled over Hastinapur for many years. When a war broke out between Pandavas and Kauravas, Krishna was sent to mediate, but failed. War became inevitable and Krishna joined the Pandavas and offered the Kauravas his army. He agreed himself as the charioteer of the great warrior Arjuna. Krishna played many roles and finally led the Pandavas to victory. He also revealed his vast personality and became an inspiration to others.

Childhood Virtue

Krishna was bought up in a cowherd family and loved to play flute to entertain the other cowherds, the milkmaid and the cows. As a child, Krishna had immense love for her foster mother and their love is narrated in tales and stands as an example of pure love. Krishna also became famous for teasing the milkmaids for Vrindavan as well as Yashoda. He and his friends would steal milk and butter , hide the clothes of bathing girl, let the cows go free at milking time and even break the water pots that the milkmaid carried on their heads. He wanted to teach his disciples that one should not be attracted and attached to matter and forms and only focus on it. He is the deity of humor and messenger of peace.
