Reading Notes: Krishna - Epified, Part B


  • Telling the story of how Brahma decided to mess with Krishna from the point of Brahma would be interesting 
    • Perhaps some kind of interesting drama between Brahma and Vishnu can be cooked up in the story 
  • Describing Krishna's sadness through his point of view at him learning that he was the savior of Dharma would be interesting 
    • Could delve into the inner workings of Vishnu here
  • The sadness is vividly apparent when Krishna leaves the Yadavas; Akrur sees Vishnu in his true form 
  • Krishna healing Trivakra is very interesting...nice story to tell from here. Could even add in Harry Potter elements 
  • Krishna brings about the end of Kamsa 
  • Krishna moved Mathura to Dwaraka to avoid attack - thinking of alternates here would be interesting

And, more specifically, I feel that religion is a foundational aspect of understand why and how people think the way they do - another consideration that can significantly impact patient-provider interactions. Having said these things, does that mean that my sole purpose of stud

Week 12 Story: Arjuna's Martyrdom

Image
Arjuna was born to fight wars. No, literally - he was born into the Kshatriya caste, which constituted the warriors and rulers. He had been preparing for battle and warfare since he was born. He had been the most astute warrior ever known, never faltering with his bow and arrow. And, today, he was faced with the hardest battle of his life. He stood in the Kurukshetra Battlefield, facing his cousins and teachers. Drona, Bhishma - the whole crew. He didn't know what to do. He stood and stared at everyone sharpening their weapons and preparing for battle before leaning in to his charioteer, Krishna, and whispering, "I don't think I can do this anymore. I've fought the toughest of wars in the world, but this is tougher than those. I cannot bring myself to kill my cousins and teachers, Krishna." Krishna immediately grabbed the reins and steered the chariot into the middle of the battlefield. Everyone on both the Pandavas' and Kauravas' side froze and st
