Me, My guru – Bhagavatam - On the lost city of Dwaraka!

So, coming to Krishna’s curse – our Lord accepted it. he used it to annihilate the ‘adharm’ that had gone beyond the ‘corrective measure’ limit. This way, Yadavas brought about their complete annihilation. There was a huge flood  - a la’ tsunami that submerged Dwaraka and all its inhabitants. Both the curses were put to good use!

So you see, when a curse comes upon a wrongdoer it brings his downfall. He pains him and he suffers.

Whereas, when ‘the right’ is cursed (Lord Krishna in this case) it is turned to put the Divine plan in motion.

Lord himself gave shape to the idea and growth of Dwaraka. Yet, when the time came, HE let it be destructed for the larger good!

Similarly, we can only plan for creative, productive and constructive tomorrows. We can work for the same too! But, we can NEVER decide the course it takes in the future. Do your duty. But, don’t be bent on the way it shapes up tomorrow. Be it your child, family, relationships, career or anything.

Be right. Give your best shot – only that is within our reach. Nothing more! The rest depends on the children’s attitudes and destiny. Don’t assume you can control it. Teach them right. But to walk on it is their choice. You can’t do anything there. Be detached on that!”

Having said this, our Guru just closed her eyes and sat down for sometime. Sometime later, she just got up and left.

Today, we didn’t open our mouths. We didn’t question her.

She came, talked, taught and left.

We came, sat, listened and received answers to questions unasked and left!

We didn’t know who was luckier – us or her??!!

This was a long post covering various aspects. If each one of you can give out what you understood, you’ll finally (all of yours put together) get the summary of all the important points in this post. Whether you want to work for it or let it slide is up to you.

This post is a treasure trove of knowledge and answers to our various problems, pain and suffering! Now, it is up to you to dig deep and gather as much as you deserve these!

Questions addressed:

How does the curse impact when it is given to the person who hasn’t wronged?

Why God doesn’t intervene in natural calamities?

Why God doesn’t stop bad or evil from happening?

Why does destruction wreak havoc on certain places? Why do even children and invalids suffer in such places? Who is responsible for all that?

We all want EVIL to be punished. When the evil’s time to face its karma comes, we talk of “God, grace, humanitarian reasons’ and so on. Can we see the EVIL suffering?

How to safeguard our dear one’s future? Can we?

Can one curse God? Do we have the power to curse God?

Why did the city of Krishna, Dwaraka submerged in the Sea?
