The Mystery Behind The Many Marriages Of Shri Krishna

                                                          

From the book LEKH AUR UPDESH –  chapter 3  of the section on 

We have explained the Adhi Bhautik meaning of the Goverdhan leela, the meeting of Krishna  and  Kubja and some other leelas.

Today we shall learn the mystery behind the multiple marriages of Shri Krishna’s sixteen thousand one hundred and eight queens. What was the meaning behind ?  Why did he leave Mathura and then build Dwarka and stay there?

Those who have listened to the Shreemad Bhagwad know that Raja Yayati had 5 sons- Yadu, Purru, Tuvarsu, Anu and  Druhyu.

Tuvarsu and Anu left Bharat and went to Taatar (Turkestan).History proves the Turks are the descendants of these two. The Mughal emperors were also sons of these Turks. These Mughals had the emblem of the moon on their flags which goes to prove that they belong to the Chandra Vansh (dynasty) and thus were the real sons of  the Turavsu and Anu. The other sons of Yayati stayed in India. For some reason Yayati had some differences with his son Yadu  . He cursed him saying that his sons would be scoffed by the Kshatriya clan and that they would not keep harmonious relationships with him. Due to this curse the above did happen.

 

                                   

Shri Krishna was also born in this clan. He thought why should  the dynasty that I belong to be looked at  with hatred?  Why should it be considered fallen or   disgraced ? Can I not make it respectable and progressive? Blessed is the one   who uplifts and brings fame to his family with sheer courage and grit. His fame spreads in all directions just as the rays of the moon.

 

It is said that On whose birth the family progresses and reaches its peak  and attains universal fame , only such a person’s birth is of some consequence or meaning. In this ever changing world millions are born and millions die. Just one such son is enough who can bring glorious fame  to his family ( char chand laga de). A thousand sons are useless if they do nothing for the family to bring it any glory.

 

A bitch and pig delivers so many little ones but they do not make any impact in the world. The lioness gives birth to just one cub who becomes the king of the jungle with his valor. Crores of stars cannot remove the darkness of the night but just one moon can bring in light in all directions.
