What Brings Smile On My Face?

Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna brings smile on my face. His pastimes bring sparkle in my eyes. I recently watched a video episode from Siddharth Kumar Tewary's Mahabharat. When I read stories or watch videos about Lord Krishna's pastimes, I become like a happy elephant who entered into a forest which is filled with fresh juicy sugar canes. Krishna makes Shakuni get into trouble often. And, Shakuni is a used up battery. He always makes machines work improperly. 

During the Kurukshetra war, the day arrived when Karna breathed his last. The Kauravas sensed that almost all the legs in their chair were broken. Shakuni had to naturally come up yet again with another conspiracy. So, he approached Krishna and invited him to play dice with him. Shakuni said, "Vasudeva Krishna, if I loose in this game, then consider Duryodhana looses. If you loose in this game, then consider Yudhistra looses and he has to surrender to Duryodhana". After hearing this, the smart Krishna said, "Mamaji, I have a different rule and condition for this game. How about this? If I loose, I will do Agni Snana (get into fire), if you loose, why don't you do the Agni Snana?" The next moment, Shakuni got scared like a chicken in the cage. This is how Krishna plays tricks and pushes Shakuni into a deep ocean of fear. 

Shakuni is a cunning fox who gives soup to Krishna in a shallow bowl. But every time Shakuni thinks he is too smart, Lord Krishna knows how to offer back a very tasty soup for him,

in a jar with a long narrow neck. 

Keep Smiling
