#KARMA Gandhari had to endure the deaths of her children being helpless. Why ? As per Lord Krishna, long back, while cooking rice, she had poured hot water of the boiled rice on the ground outside her kitchen.This hot water killed all the hundred eggs laid by an insect. #KARMA
This earned her the wrath of mother insect who is supposed to have cursed her that she too would have to endure the deaths of her sons. #KARMA
According another local rendition of Mahabharata from the East, she was cursed by the mother turtle whose eggs, Gandhari had once crushed one by one while sitting on a rock (under which the eggs were laid ) #KARMA
Another story says that being a princess once while at a pond she came across hundreds of eggs laid by a duck & she enjoyed crushing all of them one by one just for fun. In turn the Mother Duck cursed her to lose all her children in front of her eyes while being helpless #KARMA
Always remember KARMA NEVER FORGETS & YOU CANNOT OUTRUN YOUR KARMA. Be good to people & do good to people with good intentions 🙏🏻

FAITH & SHRI KRISHNA. The battlefield of Kurukshetra was being prepared for combat.Elephants were being used to uproot trees & clear the ground. When a tree was thus uprooted,a sparrow’s nest flew to the ground.But her chicks remained miraculously unharmed.
The vulnerable & apprehensive sparrow saw Shri Krishna & pleaded for help.“Please save my children, O Krishna, or they'll be crushed when the battle starts”. “I understand your plight but I cannot go against the flow of the natural order,” said Shri Krishna.
You are the law, time & the entire universe all in one O Lord, the fate of my children is now in your hands,” cried the sparrow. “In that case,” said Shri Krishna, “stock food for 3 weeks in your nest”. The little sparrow flew away gratified.
36 years post the Kurukshetra war when the Yadava clan ended up killing each other & even Balrama an incarnation of Adi Sesha left the mortal world Lord Krishna laid down under a tree and went into Yoga Samadhi.
At that time a hunter named Jara entered the forest. That hunter misunderstood the moving foot of Krishna as a deer and shot a lethal arrow that pierced into Krishna’s feet. As soon as the hunter reached The Lord he realised his mistake and pleaded the lord for forgiveness.
Lord Krishna consoles him and tells him how his death was inevitable.
Krishna says that in his previous birth as Rama in the Tretayuga, Rama killed Vaali (Sugreeva's brother) from behind a tree.
