Dark Krishna was the eighth Avatara of the Lord Vishnu, who lies upon eternal waters. He was born into the world to cleanse it of the tide of evil that darkened the age. He came to establish dharma on earth again. The Devas Indra, Vayu, Dharma and the Aswins were also born into the world, in amsa, as the sons of Pandu: to fight at Krishna’s side. The earth was purified because these Gods walked upon her. And at the war on the cusp of the ages, the seed of dharma was sown in holy ground made fertile by the blood of the kshatriya.
Once their lives’ purpose was accomplished, the Pandavas left the world and were absorbed again into their fathers in heaven, the Lords of light. Most of all, the earth was enriched forever that blue Krishna walked upon her for a brief human life.
The legend of the Pandavas, the Mahabharata, the tale of the war on the crack of two yugas, is an immortal story. As long as the earth lives, as long as the sun and moon light the sky and there is even a spark of goodness in men’s hearts, this legend of the sons of Pandu will be told in the world. It is a sacred epic, a tale of truth and whoever reads or hears it will have their sins washed away and their hearts made pure. They will finally come to the blessed realm of Mahavishnu, who lies on the serpent, Anantasesha, upon the Kshirasagara, ocean of eternity and of bliss.
AUM SHANTI SHANTI SHANTI! AUM SHANTIHI AUM!
