🌺।।क्या आप भगवान कृष्ण के पुत्र के बारे में जानते हैं जिसके कारण सम्पूर्ण यदुवंश का नाश हो गया था ?।।🌺

A Thread 🧵

श्री कृष्ण और उनकी दूसरी पत्नी जांबवंती के ज्येष्ठ पुत्र थे सांब जिनका विवाह दुर्योधन की पुत्री लक्ष्मणा से हुआ था। जब महाभारत का युद्ध समाप्त हुआ तो गांधारी ने कृष्ण को इसका दोषी मानते हुए यदुकुल के नाश का श्राप दे दिया जिसे कृष्ण ने सहर्ष स्वीकार किया। उन्होंने ये भी कहा कि समय आने पर वे और बलराम स्वयं यदुकुल का नाश कर देंगे।Image
हालाँकि किसी ने उस समय ये नहीं सोचा था कि कृष्ण के कुल का नाश उनके अपने पुत्र साम्ब के कारण होगा। महाभारत को समाप्त हुए 36 वर्ष बीत चुके थे। एक बार महर्षि दुर्वासा एवं अन्य ऋषि द्वारका पधारे। ऋषियों का इतना बड़ा झुण्ड देख कर साम्ब और उनके मित्रों ने उनसे ठिठोली करने की सोची।
उन्होंने साम्ब को एक स्त्री के रूप में सजाया और उसका मुख ढँक कर महर्षि दुर्वासा के पास ले गए। उन्होंने महर्षि को प्रणाम कर उनसे कहा - "हे महर्षि! हमारी ये सखी गर्भवती है। आप लोग तो सर्वज्ञानी हैं अतः भविष्यवाणी कर के ये बताइये कि इसे प्रसव में पुत्र होगा अथवा पुत्री।

एक कथा 🧵Image
"महिषासुर का पुत्र गजासुर सर्वत्र अपने बल से उन्मत्त होकर सभी देवताओं को उत्पीड़न कर रहा था।

The concept of “five” is widely prevalent in Indian culture—from Panchabhutha (five elements) to Panchdev, Panchkanya to Panch Vatvriksh, Panch Puja Upchar to Panchamrit.Image
"Five" has a special significance in Indian philosophy and culture. From nature to worship, there is mention of Panchtatva, Panchdev, Panchendriya, Panchkarmendriya etc. in many dimensions of life.
🌺Let us understand the meaning and importance of these five groups in detail🌺:

According to Indian philosophy, the universe is made up of 5 fundamental elements:

EARTH: Symbol of solid form, which gives us stability and foundation.

SKY: Symbol of expansion, which represents infinity and void.

FIRE: Source of energy and change, which is the power that drives life.

WATER: Symbol of fluidity and emotions, which nourishes life.

AIR: Symbol of movement and communication, which is life-giving in the form of Pranavaayu.

These Panchtatva not only represent the various forms of nature, but are also present in the structure of our body and mind.
