Reading Notes: Krishna B

-
Bibliography: Cradle Tales of Hinduism by Sister Nivedita

Krishna turns 12 and Kansa is getting desperate so he holds a wrestling tournament with some of the best wrestlers in hopes of defeating Krishna there. He invites Krishna, who agrees. Kansa then gets cold feet and tries to get an elephant to kill Krishna but he kills the elephant instead. He then fights all of the wrestlers one by one and kills them all and then goes and kills Kansa. Everyone is kinda sad that Kansa is dead. Krishna then frees his parents

Krishna's story then merges with the Mahabharata as he meets the Pandavas and Arjuna. It ends with the war at the end of Mahabharata where everyone dies.

The final part talks about the final days where Yudishthira was the ruler. There was some massive calamity that was coming and everyone was distressed. People started killing each other for some reason? Krishna was in meditation but someone went and killed him too but he went to heaven so it's all good.

Krishna and Arjuna

Some little fun facts about me: I play the piano and viola, I can never get tired of eating pasta, and I have a little pomeranian named Mowgli (I say little but he's like nine years old). My music taste is kind of all over the place but I'd say I enjoy listening to rap the most. I don't really have any favorite food but I predominately only eat rice, chicken, and broccoli when I

"They say that when you are dying, your life flashes before your eyes. When I look back, I can't help but laugh. Why does fate hate me so?" Karna's wheel gets stuck Source "Me and you, Arjuna, have the same royal blood flowing through our veins yet because of the caste system I was raised in, I was seen as your inferior. When exactly did the thought of wanting to be your equal consume me?" "If I had to pick, I would say it started with Drona. I don't know if you remember, but I approached Drona to tutor me in warfare as well. He refused me though, all because I was from a lower caste. And then you came along. You were always his favorite. Even though our skills were equal, I was ignored while you were celebrated. That was probably my first realization at how cruel this system was. This point was further driven into me during the swayamwara." "Before I was even able to show off my skills, I was refused simply because of my soci
