Why Listening to Krishna’s Stories is Important

Krishna’s stories are not just tales - they hold deep spiritual power. These stories of Krishna’s leelas and avataras have been loved by saints and seekers for ages, as each story reveals his greatness and compassion. Even things Krishna touched, like the sacred River Ganga, became holy and gained the power to purify people’s sins. Ganga Mata, as she is known, received this purity from touching Krishna’s feet, allowing her to cleanse millions of sins. Krishna’s stories, too, can purify, bring peace, and uplift everyone who hears them.

What is Adrishtabhaya?

Adrihstabhaya means unexpected danger. It is the name of a curse. Sarama is the female dog of Swargaloka. Her son was beaten up at a yaga- vedi of King Janamejaya. When Sarama confronted Janamejaya and his brothers about this, they could not give any justification for what they had done. Then she cursed them that some unexpected danger would befall upon them.
