WHY DID LORD KRSNA NOT HELP ABHIMANYU!!

1/4

Abhimanyu, the son of Arjuna, was the incarnation of Varcas the son of Candra. When Lord Visnu promised Bhumidevi that he would incarnate on Earth to get rid of asuras who burden the Earth, Image
2/4

the devas too decided to be born on Earth. A conference took place between the devas. Candra told Devas that he does not want to send Varcas whom he loves but it is not correct to stand in the way of the plan of the gods. Candra put a condition that his son would born as

the son of Arjuna and he will not be separated for more than sixteen years. In the sixteenth year, Varcas will return to him.

This is why Abhimanyu was killed in his sixteenth year when he entered the Cakra Vyuha set up by Kauravas.
4/4

Abhimanyu was destined to die when he turned sixteen at the hands of enemies while in Cakra Vyuha and hence Lord Krsna did not intervene.

WHEN IS SUPREME LORD BRAHMA, WHEN IS HE VISNU AND WHEN IS HE RUDRA!!

1/5

Reference Varaha Purana

Sage Agastya asked Rudra "O Lord, tell me at which time are you Rudra, at which time are you Brahma and at which time are you Visnu"

Rudra Replied: Image
2/5

"Visnu is Supreme Brahman and in Vedas and sastras he is said to have 3 forms. Visnu for sake of Devas assumes human form in every yuga and praises me. For the sake of the world & gods, I worship these two forms of the lord (divine and human) in the Svetadvipa in Krtayuga.
3/5

At the time of creation, I extol Brahma and become time. And in that Krtayuga, Brahma, Devas and Asuras extol me.

People who seek pleasure sacrifice to me in my form as linga, and those who seek liberation sacrifice to me mentally in my form as the thousand-headed.
