Guest guest Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 To All: In one of the chapters in the SB, we find the story which relate about Krishna and his brother, Balarama, being pursued by an evil king. Instead of fighting, they decided to run onto a mountain top for shelter and safety. The evil king then determined that the best way to eliminate Krishna and his brother was to burn the surrounding forest of the mountain. As the fires raged that would have killed mere humans, Krishna and brother decided to leap from the mountain top and landed 88 miles away to safety. From my own understanding, this story appears to be addressing the 88th navamsha. If one calculates this position, it will end up in the same position as the 64th navamsha. As most jyotishis know, the 64th navamsha is a malefic location for any planets, and the graha ruling the navamsha is considered malefic as well. This story also gives a clue that for this specific challenge in life, there is a solution. We can interpret how this can be done from the narrative itself. Regards, John R.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Namaste Sreeram, I obtained this story from the SB translated by Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. The story is on page 114, 10th Canto, Part Two. This particular book does not show the original sanskrit slokas. At this time, I do not have any information why the translator did this. If anyone has information about the rationale behind this translation of the story, please let us know.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Dear Mr. John ji, In mythology there is only one instance where Lord Krishna avoids fighting his challenger {do not remember the name} i.e. King Jarasandh after being beaten few times by Lord Krishna, seeks help of a another king who is blessed for Winning against anyone......this challenger gets killed when he disburbs sleep of a king turned rishi in that mountain cave. The astro_reason for Lord Krishna / Lord Balarama not killing King Jarasandh in all his recuperated attacks - that the 7 people born in same astro_nakshatra combinations ONLY ONE is ardained to survive - Bhima, Duryodhana, Jarasandha, Bakasura, Keechaka. Hidimbaka, Seventh Name ...I do not recall...... When Wax House fire incident, Kauravas thought it was end of Pandavas, till the BBC news came about Bakasura's death raising suspicions of Survival of fittest - Pandavas. Then again in Year Long Agnathavasa - {Incognito Period}, death of Prince Keechaka, raises suspicions of Pandavas.......etc. this time it was CNN news.... then finally when Jarasandha was killed... it was Al Jazeerah News......non-stop..... It is odd, that Lord Krishna & Lord Balarama...both ran for their lifes...... when throughout mythology - it was one of them stood by to fight.....to WIN. Thank you for the references given......
