Timeline of Krishna Avatar - Krishna Lila at 29 to 83 Years at Dwaraka, Hastinapur
- Draupadi's grief - At Hastinapur, Pandavas was cheated in the game of dice. Draupadi
was dragged by Dushasana to the dice hall. He started to take off her clothes in the mid of all. Draupadi who is a true devotee
of Krishna called him for the rescue. As a result, eventhough evilminded Dushasana tried to remove her robes, the new set
of robes came covered her body. Finally, he fainted. Krishna rescued his Devotee aswell as his sister from the evil.
- Treat for Durvasa - Pandavas were exiled to forest. The wicked Duryodhana cleverly
made arrangements of Sage Durvasa to meet the Pandavas. Sage Durvasa told Pandavas that after taking bath he would have food
with Pandavas. But Unfortunately, the Akshaya Pathiram which was given by Sun God was cleaned and kept after which one cannot
provide food from that. Pandavas were worried. Draupadi prayed to Lord Krishna. Immediately Krishna appeared and asked for
Akshaya Pathiram. Draupadi told that she had already cleaned. But Lord told her to bring and she got it and gave to Krishna.
There was a small amount of spinach left without cleaned in that vessel. Lord Krishna, who prevades in all beings, ate that
small amount of spinach which made Sage Durvasa to fill his stomach. Sage Durvasa told Pandavas that his stomach was full
and he will not have food with Pandavas. Thus Pandavas were saved from the curse of Sage Durvasa.
- Abhimanyu's Guru as Krishna - Subhadra was carring and she was asleep. Meanwhile
Lord Krishna came and taught about the martial arts of war when he was in womb. Meanwhile, Arjuna came and Krishna
left the teaching to Abhimanyu. By birth as a result, Abhimanyu was a great warrior.
- Krishna as a Messenger - After the completion of Exile period of Pandavas, they thought
of asking their kingdom back from Kauravas. So they sent Krishna as a messenger. Krishna stayed in Vidura's place and went
to the court of Dhiridrastra. Everybody except Kauravas did not respect Krishna's arrival. They did not raise when Krishna
entered the Court. Krishna then kept a hard step on the court which made all the Kauravas to stand and bend towards Krishna's
arrival.
- Krishna's Speech - Krishna introduced himself as a messenger for Pandavas. He asked
for the land for Pandavas. They denied. Then, Krishna asked atleast a five villages. They again denied. Kauravas made
a well beneath Krishna's seat to kill him. Knowing that, Krishna took Vishwaroopam and confirmed about the war to Kauravas.
- Vidura's wife - Vidura was shocked to see his wife giving the skin of peeled banana
instead of fruit to Krishna. He scolded her of her doing. But Krishna denied that out of compassion she was doing that and
blessed the couple.
- Krishna on Pandavas side - The war was in progress while Arjuna and Duryodhana went
to Dwaraka to seek him from Krishna. Krishna was sleeping. Arjuna sat in Krishna's feet side and Duryodhana beside Krishna's
head. Eventhough, Arjuna came late Krishna saw Arjuna first and enquired about him. Duryodhana got enraged. Krishna convinced
him and asked the purpose of visit. Krishna hearing that told to both of them opting for two decisions. One is Lord Krishna
without any arms during the war and other is Krishna's army. Duryodhana preferred Krishna's army whereas Arjuna preferred
Lord Krishna to become his charioteer. Arjuna knew that Lord Krishna is the Lord of Universe and asked for Krishna alone to
be his side.
- Karna's boon to Mother Kunti - Krishna knew that Karna would easily defeat Pandavas.
So he told the secret to Kunti that Karna is his son. He also asked Kunti to ask two boons from Karna stating that only once
the Nagastra will be used in war and he would not kill any of the Pandavas. But Karna replied that he would kill only Arjuna
among the Pandavas. Kunti felt sad and told this to Krishna.
- The day for war - Nakul and Sahadev were good at astronomy. So, Duryodhana asked them a date in
which Kauravas will win if they start the war puja. The Aswin brothers told that if one starts the war puja on Ammavasya,
they would win. Hearing this Krishna thought of a plan.
- Krishna started the puja - Krishna immediately asked Pandavas to start war puja one
day before Ammavasya. Pandavas were doing so. Meanwhile, Krishna did Ammavasya rites to his ancestors on the river bank. Seeing
this the Sun God and Moon God came before Krishna and told that the day is not Ammavasya. But Krishna cleverly told that Ammavasya
is the day where the Sun God and the Moon God meet face to face and they were meeting now. It became Ammavasya and Lord Krishna
showed the success way to Pandavas.
- Krishna as a eunuch - There was another way of success to Pandavas. It was stated
that if a person who has all the 63 masculine qualities was given as a sacrifice, that side would win the battle. They were
only two people that time, one is Lord Krishna himself and another is Arjuna's son Arvan Swamy, who is the son of Snake princes
Ullippi. Arvan decided to sacrifice him for Pandavas. But he had a desire that he should live atleast one day as a married
man. No women accepted to marry Arvan. Then, Lord Krishna himself took Mohini form and married Arvan. Later Arvan was sacrified
and Krishna wore a mourning robes of a widow.
