మహాభారతం ఒక ఇతిహాసం. ఇందులో ముఖ్య ఘట్టం కురుక్షేత్ర సంగ్రామం. ధర్మ యుద్ధం. ప్రత్యక్షంగా కానీ పరోక్షంగా కానీ పాల్గొన్న మహాయోధులు, పాత్రలు కారణ జన్ములు. కృష్ణుడు సాక్షాత్తు పరమాత్మ అయితే, కొందరు అయోనిజలు, ఇంకొందరు దైవాంశసంభూతులు, మరికొందరు ఆ యుద్జధం కోసం మటుకే పుట్టిన వారు. వారందరూ ఆ సమయంలో కురుక్షేత్రంలోకి అడుగు పెట్టడానికి, ద్వాఫర యుగ అధర్మ వినాశనానికీ జగన్మాత కదిపిన పావులు, సృష్టించిన సంఘటనలు మనిషి ఊహకు అందనివి. శంతనుడు గంగను కలవటం, అష్ట వసువుల శాపం, మత్స్యగంధి జననం, పరాశర మహర్షి మత్స్యగంధి ద్వారా వేదవ్యాసుని జననం, అంబ శపధం, రాజభోగాలు అనుభవించే గాంధారి మనసులో అసూయ, ద్రౌపది ఆవిర్భావం . . . ఇలా కాల చక్రంలో సంభవించిన అనేక సంఘటనలు, జీవితాలు, చివరకు
కురుక్షేత్రం చేరటం, అంతా జగన్మాత సంకల్పం. కొన్ని పుటుకలు అసంభవంగా అనిపిస్తాయి, కొన్ని సంఘటనలు ఆశ్చర్యంగా ఉంటాయి. అన్నిటి ప్రయాణం ధర్మ సంస్ధాపన వైపే. ధర్మ సంస్ధాపన కోసమే. ధర్మ సంస్ధాపనే లక్ష్యం.
Few crore years ago, In Hindu epic Mahabharata, set in Dwapara Yuga, Sage Veda Vyasa mentioned what is beyond Black hole.
When Krishna and Balarama were ruling Dwaraka, a Brahmin lived in Dwaraka. He was pious and followed dharmic life style. He was overjoyed when his wife got pregnant. He was looking forward to hold the baby in his hands n play with him.
The day came. His wife delivered a still born boy. He was shocked. Questioned, and assessed his Karma. Then concluded that its the King who is responsible for such non dharmic incident in his life. The karma, result of the right or wrong doings, of the King, who is the father figure to all of the land he rules n its inhabitants, influences the fate of the over all kingdom. So, the brahmin took the dead body to the palace, placed in front of the gate n cried his heart out. Demanded justice. Krishna, almighty, though in the palace, was silent. The same repeated eight more times.
Arjuna was visiting Dwaraka and in the palace when the Brahmin brought dead body of his ninth child. He couldn't ignore the Brahmin's accusations.and blaming the King. He looked at Krishna who was quietly listening and walked out of the palace. Arjuna approached the brahmin. Then arrogantly assured him that he will stop death and protect the brahmin's next child with all his power. He felt arrogantly and great as he holds mighty Gandiwanam, divine bow, and pasupataastram, Lord Siva's arrow. He felt Krishna might be having his reasons, however as kshatriya, he is capable of stopping death at any point. Arjuna told the brahmin to inform him next time when brahmin's wife goes into labour. He will stop the death from taking brahmin's child. Arjuna also arrogantly vowed that if he fails in doing so, he will end his life by entering fire.
After several months, the brahmin came to Krishna's palace and informed Arjuna that his wife is in labour. Immediately Arjuna went to brahmin's house. He carefully, with concentration, putting all his might and power bestowed upon him, with his divine bow and arrows made a fine unpenetratable cage around the house. His arrows were so powerful that not even an ant can pass through without being caught. He waited outside.
After sometime the brahmin approached Arjuna. This time the new born baby's body also disappeared! Arjuna was shocked. He then went to Yamaloka and questioned Yama, Lord of Death about the brahmin's child. Yama said that he is not aware of the child's whereabouts. He then went to swarga n asked Lord Indra to return the child. Indra also denied that he has the child. Then Arjuna went to all ashta dikpalakas, nava grahas and all lokas in search of brahmin's child. He failed to find the child.
Upon returning to Dwaraka, failing to find the brahmin's boy, as vowed, Arjuna prepared to enter fire and end his life. At that time Krishna came to him on his chariot and said, "come with me. I will show you where the brahmin's boyes are". He took Arjuna onto his chariot and flew into sky.
Together Krishna and Arjuna flew out of earth, crossed solar system, then stars, then galaxy and then brahmandamulu. Then they reached a dark place. It's dark everywhere. Nothing exist there. Nothing visible. Krishna's chariot horses stalled in their tracks. Arjuna, mighty warrior, fought and won Kurukshetra, yuga's biggest war, killed many demons during his jaitra yatra, who never experienced fear in his life felt terror looking at the darkness. He expressed the same to Krishna.
Krishna called his Sudarshana chakra and ordered to show path with its light. As Sudarshana moved in front of the Krishna's chariot, showing path, the horses started moving forward.
After sometime, In distance Arjuna saw light. Slowly as they approached the light, he saw Lord Vishnu lying on Adisheshu/Ananta. Godess Lakshmi was at His feet. Few sages were standing beside Him. The brightness of thousand suns was from Ananta and the cool bright light of crores of galaxies and suns was from Vishnu himself. Arjuna then saw ten boys playing at Vishnu's feet.
Looking at Krishna and Arjuna, Lord Vishnu smiled. He turned to the sages and said, "you wished to see NaraNarayanulu. Here they are. My own incarnation". He then turned to Arjuna and said, "I had to bring brahmin's children to bring you two here. To my abode. To witness the beginning and end of all life and matter. Apart from me, no one is responsible of either life or death. Even mighty Pasupataastram is of me. Everything you witness is created by me. Take the brahmin boys back to their father".
Arjuna, mesmerised and dumbstruck, looked at Lord Vishnu, stood aside with folded hands. After receiving blessings from the sages, Krishna and Arjuna returned to earth Dwaraka and Krishna's palace.
Arjuna returned to Hastinapuram with enlightened soul and understanding of universe and creation. His arrogance disappeared.
