Why did Krishna run away from Jarasandha?

Lord Krishna is lovingly called Rancchod (रणछोड) in North India because he left his battle with Jarasandha midway and migrated with his entire clan to Dwaraka. Mahabharata very clearly says that Balarama at one point in time was just about to kill Jarasandha. But then, an oracle was heard that Jarasandha was destined to die at the hands of Bhima. Rajasuya of Yudhishtira was the first step for the Pandavas to show their power to the world. Vanquishing someone as formidable as Jarasandha definitely would help in this. Krishna must have intended to make this happen.

Harivarasanam

The song Harivarasanam is sung every day at Sabarimala temple at the time of closing since the 1950s. For a long time, it was believed that its author was Kambakudi Kulathur Srinivasa Iyer. Of late, there has been a claim that the song was written by Konnakathu Janaki Amma. Her father was the chief priest of Sabarimala from 1907 to 1920. The popular version of the song was sung by Yesudas for the film Swamy Ayyappan in 1975. The original title of the song is Hariharatmaja Ashtakam.
