 Yuddishtra , Draupadi and his brothers  completed their thirteen years in  exile Now they hoped to gain back the same life style They asked Duryodhana to return back their rightful kingdom He wouldnot listen to Yuddishtra's words of wisdom Lord Krishna then intervened as their "Peace Messenger" Not a word did Duryodhana wanted to hear Finally it was decided  "War"was the only solution Nothing more remained  to discuss or opt for any other option All preparation began in full swing for the "Combat" in action. Lord Krishna asked Duryodhana and Arjuna What would they choose Him or His weapons? Duryodhana chose the mighty weapons And "smiled "to himself about his "right"choice He didn't even take  the  time to pause He never anticipated  he would pay a" heavy price" Arjuna chose the Lord as the "Charioteer " The Lord "pleased "patted him with Cheer.  

The Kauravas and the Pandavas were cousins They never got along with each other as kith and kin Yuddishtra,lost his kingdom and everything In  an unfair game of dice tht pushed them all to the brink Then Dushasan,tried to disrobe Draupadi amidst the "August"audience The Pandavas knew they have deeply humiliated her Conscience Every one were shocked,no one  rose ,to stop or speak In their limbs every one felt weak Draupadi fervently prayed to Lord Krishna to  help her She knew for sure only He would hear The Lord rolled out  heaps of sarees to cover her modesty Dushasan  could no more  continue,he felt exhausted No more then he persisted The Pandavas  now left  to live in the forest For them it would be a difficult test They had to live twelve years in exile  Thirteenth year in disguise No one could change the event Pandavas their feelings could never vent Dr

 Radha held a "special "place in His heart Their "love " for each other was "etheral " from the start They longed for each other when they couldn't meet Their love was so "sublime and sweet. The Gopis of  Vrindavan revered and loved him so much They always wanted to be with Him and feel His gentle touch The melody of His flute raced their heart beats Time for them seemed to fleet The memory of "Ras Leela" always lingered in their mind  Oh!!  such "compassion and love"  where else could they find? Krishna had many wives and married sixteen thousand.  one hundred princess To "fulfill"  all their desires and make them  feel a sense of happiness.

 Back in prison,the guards  heard a shrill cry The Eighth child of Devaki was born  they couldn't deny They  ran to King Kamsa and announced  the birth The king went to the prison in anger To throttle the one who gave him "sleepless nights and  "instilled" fear .He lifted the" babe" to smash it against the wall Devaki pleaded for mercy,he didn't bother to hear the call As Kamsa was about to kill the babe,she "slipped away" Rose higher and higher as "Ma Durga" and made Her way She told  Kamsa his "vanquisher"is born,safe and is some where His heart sunk and at the blank wall he simply could stand and stare King  Kamsa went  on a rampage To kill all the new borns in Mathura out of rage He felt no mercy at all It was the "beginning" of his "downfall" Mathura was plunged in gloom His end was "doomed"

 He never led a rosy life, but a turbulent one Princess Devaki and Vasudevas beloved son A life without his parents is very hard to believe Soon after His birth He had to leave A torrential rain struck that night Nothing seemed to look promising or bright Vasudeva carried His son through the rain Even Sesh Nag ,the serpent, that protected Him  could feel the agony and the pain Vasudeva laid his son beside Ma Yashodha at Gokul who was fast asleep His agony was so "intense" that he could not  even weep He carried back their "New Born" baby girl before any one  could see  No more he knew for sure he could  ever again feel a sense of glee.

 The Lord took birth in a dark prison With a purpose and a vision He came down to Earth to preach Devotion and Dharma Without any "Expectation" to perform ones Karma To end His uncle's tyrannical rule on Earth The Lord felt making Sacrifices for such a cause was worth He  played many a "Role"Child,brother,cowherd,lover,disciple  Guru,messenger ,warrior and Charioteer At every stage every one's heart He "Stole" He is venerated though music,painting, sculpture,and poetry. His Life is indeed the most "Inspiring Story  (PART_1)
