Week 12 Reading Notes: Part B Krishna

 Part B of the story of Krishna starts with the punishment of Brahma, after he had kidnapped Krishna's cows and friends. Krishna decided to teach him a lesson and played a trick on him. Krishna made the illusion that nothing has gone missing and nobody noticed a difference. The creator of the universe fell to his knees as he found out that Krishna was everywhere he looked. He finally kneeled to Krishna's' divinity. Krishna was refused marriage as his existence was for a higher purpose. He was the savior of Dharma in this world. Krishna was still unaware of the fact that he was not the son of Yashoda and Nanda. Krishna's realization of the truth pushed him down the same path that Gargacharya mentioned. The residents of Vrindavan and the Gopis did not want Krishna to leave. They mourned and cried of his farewell. Krishna overcomes the lives of others with his presence. Akur invited Krishna as he saw the reality within Krishna. Krishna arrives at Mathura, and gets to meet his destiny by killing Kuvalayapida. He finds freedom for Mathura by killing Kamsa.
