IMPORTANCE OF KRISHNA KATHA

nārāyanam namaskrtyanaram caiva narottamamdevīm sarasvatīm vyāsamtato jayam udīrayet

Before reciting this Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, which is the very means of conquest, one should offer respectful obeisances unto the Personality of Godhead, Nārāyana, unto Nara-nārāyana Rsi, the supermost human being, unto mother Sarasvatī, the goddess of learning, and unto Śrīla Vyāsadeva, the author.

nasta-prāyesv abhadresunityam bhāgavata-sevayābhagavaty uttama-ślokebhaktir bhavati naisthikī

By regular attendance in classes on the Bhāgavatam and by rendering of service to the pure devotee, all that is troublesome to the heart is almost completely destroyed, and loving service unto the Personality of Godhead, who is praised with transcendental songs, is established as an irrevocable fact.

BG 9.30EVEN IF ONE COMMITS THE MOST ABOMINABLE ACTION, IF HE

IS ENGAGED IN DEVOTIONAL SERVICE HE IS TO BE CONSIDERED SAINTLY BECAUSE HE IS PROPERLY SITUATED IN

HIS DETERMINATION.

Why they joined?

Why did both of them join the conspiracy?

Krtavarma associated with a sinful person Kamsa

Page 11: Krishna Leela Series - Part 52 - The Killing of Satrajit and Satadhanva

One night….. Satadhanva entered

Satrajit’s house Everyone was

shouting but he still went and butchered Satrajit exactly as an animal being butchered in a slaughterhouse

Body was preserved while Satyabhama left for Hastinapura

Page 12: Krishna Leela Series - Part 52 - The Killing of Satrajit and Satadhanva

Krishna heard the news Started lamenting like a

normal human being Tears started flowing Made plans to return to

Mathura immediately Plans to annihilate

Satadhanva Although a great villain

and feared by everyone, he was fearing Krishna

Approached Krtavarma and Akrura

Page 13: Krishna Leela Series - Part 52 - The Killing of Satrajit and Satadhanva

Satadhanva runs… Delivered the Syamantaka to Akrura

and fled Krishna and Balaram understood and

followed pursuit Krishna was particularly angry and the

act was against Sastra One who attacks with deadly weapons One who commits arson One who poisons One who usurp’s another’s property One who kidnaps another’s wife

Satadhanva’s horse died and he had to flee on foot

Krishna cut off his head using his Chakra

No Jewel found, so better to go back to Mathura

Balaram stayed in Mithila for few years

Page 14: Krishna Leela Series - Part 52 - The Killing of Satrajit and Satadhanva

Lord returns to Mathura… Came back and did

ceremonies for his late father in law

Akrura and Krtavarma left Dwaraka on hearing Krishna’s arrival

Citizens felt threatened by Pestilence and natural Disturbances

Superstitious belief Inheritance of Power from his

father Absence of Syamantaka

Page 15: Krishna Leela Series - Part 52 - The Killing of Satrajit and Satadhanva

Krishna & Akrura Krishna summoned him

from Kasi Received him well and

enquired Who will Inherit? Kindly show the Jewel Akrura brought the Jewel

and Krishna kept his words

Anyone who hears this story will get the highest perfection of peace and will be free from sinful reactions
