1 SHISHUPALA'S TRAGEDY

In 3rd century BCE , there was a kingdom called "Chedi", and in that time Mahabharata was already started and The Mahabharata states that Shishupala was born with three eyes and four arms , His parents were inclined to cast him out but were warned by a voice from heaven not to do so, as his time had not come. It also foretold that his superfluous bodyparts would disappear when a certain person took the child into his lap and that he would eventually die at the hands of that same person. Coming to visit his cousin, Krishna placed the child on his lap and the extra eye and arms disappeared, thus indicating Shishupala's death was destined at the hands of Krishna. In the Mahabharata, Shishupala's mother persuaded her nephew, Krishna, that he would pardon his cousin Shishupala for a hundred offences.

At the time of Yudhishthira ( Mahabharata character ) doing his Rajasuya Yagya , he decided that Krishna would be the special honoured guest of the sacrificial ceremony. This angered Shishupala and he started insulting Krishna, calling him a mere cowherd and worthless to be honoured as a king. He also started insulting Bhishma (Mahabharata's character) , calling his vow to remain a celibate throughout life as an act of cowardice. Bhishma became furious and threatened Shishupala, but Krishna calmed him down. Through this act, he committed his 100th sin and was pardoned by Krishna. When he insulted Krishna again, he committed his 101st sin. Krishna then released his Sudarshana Chakra( A weapon which can destroy the earth) on Shishupala, killing him on the spot. Shishupala's soul was liberated and attained salvation by merging into Krishna's body.

In this story we can see that God not giving us only one chance actually god gives us 100 or even thousands of chances to stop doing wrong things. to make wrongs things correct but just like Shishupala we don't have fear of God , we underestimate God's anger and that's why we forget the counting , we forget the number of chances given by God. Now think yourself does God also forget the counting , NO God remembers God is watching and Sudarshana Chakra( A weapon which can destroy the earth) is KILLING , if you still want to do sins , then do! but always remember SHISHUPALA'S TRAGEDY
