Death of Shri Krishna

                                         Death of Shri Krishna

As Krishna Janmashtami is nearing , I am writing articles about Krishna.

During Mahabharat war, Gandhari had lost all of her 100 sons. Krishna visited her to offer his condolence.

That time , Gandhari thought that Krishna could have prevented all the destruction caused by war. But he didn't
.
Gandhari cursed Krishna that he will meet his end after 36 years. Likewise, when his avatar time is going to end, Krishna went to forest and sat under a tree for meditation.

That time , a hunter named Jara  , by just seeing Krishna's final toe, confused it to be an animal. He wanted to kill it by his bow and arrow.

But alas, it was Krishna himself. Krishna was wounded by arrow and was bleeding. By seeing he had hit a man instead of an animal , Jara came near Krishna to apologize.

That time, Krishna consoled him saying that Jara was Vali during Ramavatar and Ram had killed Vali by standing at his back side. Hence, in Krishnavatar, Vali had taken birth as Jara and he killed Krishna by mistaking him as an animal.

Gods themselves had to suffer the consequences of their doing . What about humans?
