    Usha and Vanasura


    Krishna had more than one lakh and eighty thousand sons. But the best of
    them was Pradyumna and Pradyumna’s son was Aniruddha.

    Vali’s son was Vanasura and Vanasura’s daughter was Usha. Usha once met
    Parvati and Shiva. She asked Parvati who her husband would be. Parvati
    replied that in the month of Vaishakha a person would appear in Usha’s dreams.
    And this person would be her husband.

    As promised by Parvati, Usha did see a person in her dreams. But she did not
    know how this person was. She told her friend Chitraleka about this. Chitralekha
    thought that the only way to find out was to show Usha the protraits of various
    important personages amongst the devas, gandharvas and asuras. But the required
    person could not be identified from these portraits. Usha was then shown the portraits
    of humans and immediately she identified Aniruddha.”

    Many years ago, Vanasura had prayed to Mahadeva,” he had said, “please grant me
    fights. I have ten thousand arms. What will I do with all these arms if I don’t get a
    chance to fight?”

    “Be patient,” replied Mahadeva. “One day you will find your flag lying broken. When
    that happens, you will get the opportunity to fight as much as you wish.”

    At this Vanasura was happy.

    Meanwhile, once Aniruddha’s identity had been established, Chitralekha wondered
    what could be done. She went to Dvaraka and secretly brought Aniruddha to meet Usha.
    That was the very day on which Vanasura found his flag lying broken. The guards also
    came and informed him that Aniruddha was with Usha. Vanasura sent his soldiers to
    fight with Aniruddha, but Aniruddha killed them all with a club.

    Then Vanasura himself entered the fray. Initially, he was beaten by Aniruddha. But he
    used maya to tie Aniruddha up.

    Narada went to Dvaraka and told the Yadavas this. So Krishna, Balarama and Pradyumna
    came to rescue Aniruddha. Many were the soldiers that Krishna killed before entering
    the city. Also at the gate was a demon known as Jvara, a demon with a huge body,
    three arms and three legs. This demon had been born out of Mahadeva’s body. The
    demon was so powerful that it even caused Balarama some discomfort. But Krishna
    created a demon from his own body which killed the demon Jvara.

    Krishna killed many asura soldiers. Vanasura himself came out to fight. Mahadeva and
    Kartikeya fought on Vana’s side and Vanasura’s chariot was driven by Nandi. Terrible
    was the war between Krishna and Mahadeva and everyone thought that the world would
    come to an end. But Krishna tired out Mahadeva. Pradyumna defeated Kartikeya, and
    Balarama killed many of Vanasura’s soldiers. Krishna and Vanasura shot arrows at each
    other. Then Krishna took up this sudharshana chakra and sliced of all Vanasura’s arms.
    But when he was about to kill Vanasura, Mahadeva intervened and begged for Vana’s life.
    This boon Krishna granted.

    At the end of the war, Aniruddha and Usha too returned to Dvaraka with the other Yadavas.

    May BABA BLESS us and our family abundantly !

    The Slaying of Pundraka


    There was a king named Poundraka who suffered from the illusion that
    he was Krishna, the incarnation of Vishnu on earth. He adopted the name
    of Vasudeva and sent a messenger to Krishna saying, “Stop pretending
    that you are Vishnu. It is I who am Vasudeva. Come to me and beg for
    your life.”

    Poundraka was a friend of the king of Kashi. Krishna told the messenger
    tha the would leave for Kashi the very next day.

    Hearing the message, Poundraka got ready with his army. Krishna arrived
    in Kashi on Garuda. Krishna killed the enemy soldiers with his arrows, mace
    and chakra. He sliced Poundraka’s body with his chakra and eventually killed
    him with a mace. He also killed Poundraka’s friend, the king of Kashi. He cut
    of fthe king’s head with his arrows and flung it into the city of Kashi. After that,
    Krishna returned to Dvaraka.

    When the head of the king of Kashi fell inside the city, the inhabitants were
    surprised at this strange phenomenon. But the king’ son found out that Krishna
    was responsible for this and prayed to Mahadeva. When as a result of the yajna
    Mahadeva appeared before him, the son begged, “Please create a demon that
    will kill Krishna, my father’s murderer.”

    Mahadeva agreed and created such a demon fromt he fire of the yajna. This
    demon arrived in Dvaraka wishing to kill Krishna. Flames issued out of its mouth
    and its hair was also like fire. Krishna flung his sudarshana chakra at the demon.
    The demon turned and ran, but whereever the demon went, the chakra followed.
    Finally, the demon arrived in Kashi. But the chakra followed it there and burnt
    up the entire city. All the kings, servants, horses, elephants and cattle thee
    were burnt.

    Having achieved its purpose, the chakra returned to Krishna.

    May BABA BLESS us and our family abundantly !

    Shamba’s Wedding


    Krishna’ son Shamba wanted to marry Duryodhana’s daughter. He kidnapped
    her. But Karna, Duryodhana, Bhishma, Drona and other warriors fought with
    Shamba and managed to imprison him. On learning the news, the Yadavas
    got ready to fight with the Kauravas.

    But Balarama restrained the Yadavas. “Leave it to me,” he said. “Let me go
    alone. The Kauravas will listen to me and will let Shamba go.” Balarama went
    to Hastinapura but did not enter the city. Duryodhana and the others learnt
    of this and came to pay thier respects. Balarama then told them that King
    Ugrasena had requested that Shamba might be released.

    But this request made the Kauravas angry. “Balarama, what are you saying?”
    they asked. “How dare the Yadavas order the Kauravas?” This is a bit like a
    servant ordering a master.

    Refusing to release Shamba, the Kauravas returned to Hastinapura. This angered
     Balarama. He grasped the foundations of Hastinapura city with his plough and
    prepared to hurl the city into the Bhagirathi river. This brought the Kauravas to
    their senses and they begged for forgiveness.

    Shamba and his wife were brought to Balarama and he forgave the

    Kauravas. Ever since tha tday, Hastinapura leans towards the river on one side.

    May BABA BLESS us and our family abundantly !

    The Death of Dvivida


    The asura known as Naraka was opposed to the devas. And Naraka had
    a monkey friend named Dvivida. Dvivida fought with the devas and became
    particularly belligerent after Naraka was killed by Krishna. He destroyed all
    the yajnas and persecuted the sages. He also destroyed cities, villageas and
    forests. He even tore up mountains and flung them into the ocean. The ocean
    overflowed and flooded cities and villages.

    One day, Balarama was busy drinking in a garden. Dvivida arrived there and
    began to make a general nuisance of himself. He picked up Balarama’s plough
    and club. And despire Balarma’s warning him, he continued to laugh at him.
    Greatly angered, Balarama picked up his club and the monkey also picked up a
    huge boulder. Balarama broke up the monkey’s boulder with his club. The monkey
    then began to hit Balarama on the chest. But Balarama brought down his fists
    on the monkey’s head and the monkey died.

    May BABA BLESS us and our family abundantly !

    The End of the Yadavas


    There was a place of pilgrimage known as Pindaraka. Some Yadava
    youths once met the sages Kanva, Vishvamitra and Narada there.
    The Yadava youths dressed Shamba up as a woman and brought him
    to the sages. “Sages,” they asked, “tell us whether this woman will
    have a son or a daughter.”

    The sages saw through the game and were angered at the insult.
    “This person will give birth to a club,” they said. “And that club will
    destroy your clan.”

    In due course a club came out of Shamba’s body. But learning of the
    curse, King Ugrasena pulverised the club and had the dust scattered in
    the ocean. But the dust got changed into sharp reeds that grew on the
    shores of the ocean.

    A small part of the club could not be crushed. This was thrown into the
    ocean as it was, and a fish swallowed this piece. When the fish was caught,
    this piece of the club came out of the fish’s stomach and a hunter named
    Jara acquired the piece.

    There was a place of pilgrimage known as Prabhasa and eventually the
    Yadavas went there. Only one Yadava named Uddhava went off to do tapasya
    on Mount Gandhamadana. In Prabhasa, the Yadavas began to drink and soon
    lost all control of their senses. They started to fight and picked up the reeds
    that were growning on the shores as weapons. Krishna did try to restrain them,
    but the Yadavas were in no mood to listen. Soon, Krishna and Daruka were
    the only Yadavas who were left alive.

    Krishna and Daruka were wandering around and found Balarama seated under
    the tree. A huge snake came out of Balarama’s mouth and disappeared into
    the sea. This meant that Balarama died.

    Krishna told Daruka, “Go and tell King Ugrasena all this. Soon I too will die. And
    soon the sea will swallow up the city of Dvaraka. Go and tell the Yadavas who
    are left in Dvaraka that they should wait for Arjuna’s arrival and that they should
    leave the city with Arjuna. And go and tell Arjuna to protect my people as best
    as he can. Vajra is to be made the king the Yadavas.”

    Daruka paid his respects to Krishna and left.

    Krishna sat down to meditate. The hunter named Jara arrived there. He had fashioned
    an arrow-head out of the piece of the club. Seeing Krishna’s feet, he thought that it
    was part of a deer and let loose an arrow. When he came up to see what happened,
    he found that his arrow had pierced the body of a man. He begged for forgiveness
    and Krishna assured him that Jara would go to heaven. In fact, a chariot immediately
    arrive to take Jara to heaven.

    Krishna died. He was a hundred years old.

    Arjuna found the dead bodies of Krishna, Balarama and other important Yadavas
    and performed their shraddha ceremonies. Krishna’s eight major wives died on
    Krishna’s funeral pyre. Revati did the same on Balarama’s . Urgasena, Rohini, Devaki
    and Vasudeva also entered a fire. The others left Dvaraka with Arjuna.

    As soon as Krishna died, the parijata tree and the assembly hall named Sudharma
    returned to heaven. The kali era began. And the city of Dvaraka was swallowed up
    by the sea, with the exception of Krishna’s own dwelling.

    Arjuna settled some of the Yadavas in the Punjab. But when he was taking the Yadava
    women with him, the party was set upon by a band of dacoits. Arjuna tried to repel
    the dacoits but found that he had lost all his powers. His strength had left him with
    Krishna’s death.

    This is the end of the fifth section of the Vishnu Purana.

    May BABA BLESS us and our family abundantly !

    The Kali Era


    Maitreya wanted to know more about the kali era.

    In the kali era, the norms of varna and ashrama will not be followed as is
    laid down in the Vedas. No one will pray to the gods . Relations between
    guru and shishya will cease. Might will be right. Women will all the time
    take care of their hair. Wealth will mean everything. Instead of spending
    money on dharma , people will spend money on building houses. Money
    will be spent for oneself and not for guests. Men will be selfish. Money will
    be earned through evil means. There will be drought.

    Men will not bathe before their meals. Both men and women will become
    shorter. Women will not obey their husbands. The kings will not take care of
    the subjects, but will only impose taxes. People will become old when they
    reach the age of twelve and no one will live for more than twenty years.
    Evil will flourish. No one will worship Vishnu. All the classes will become like
    shudras.

    There is only one good thing about kali yuga. In satya yuga one had to do a
    lot of tapasya to earn some punya. In kali yuga the same punya can be acquired
    through a little tapasya. The equivalence is like this. Ten years of tapasya in
    satya yuga are equal to one year of tapasya in treta yuga, one month of tapasya
    in dvapara yuga and one day of tapasya in kali yuga.

    Vyasadeva said that shudras and women are fortunate. The other varnas have to
    do many things to enter that dharma is being followed. But for the shudras the path
    of dharma is simple. They only have to serve the other varnas to acquire punya.
    Similarly men have to do many things to achieve punya. For women, the attainment
    of punya is easy; they only have to serve their husbands.

    May BABA BLESS us and our family abundantly !

    Destruction


    There are three types of pralaya or destruction, the first being brahma
    or naimittika. Naimittika pralaya takes place after a kalpa, that is after
    one of Brahma’s days and after fourteen Manus have passed. Before this
    pralaya, the earth becomes weak and there are no rains for a hundred years.
    Vishnu adopts the form of Rudra and drinks up all the water that there is in
    the rivers, the oceans, the seas and the mountains. The seven rays of the
    sun manifest themselves as seven different suns. These suns burn up the
    three worlds. Not only is bhuloka burnt up, but bhuvarloka and svarloka are
    also destroyed. There are dark and thick clouds everywhere. For a hundrd
    years it continues to rain. All is darkness. For a hundred years the winds blow.
    And Vishnu sleeps on the waters that are everywhere till the worlds are created
    again.

    The second type of destruction is known as prakrita pralaya. The three basic
    gunas are, as you know, sattva, rajas and tamas. Their perfect balance is known
    as prakriti. At the time of destruction when prakriti becomes assimilated into the
    paramatman, that is known as prakrita pralaya. The third type of pralaya is known
    as atyatika pralya. This refers to the disppearance of three types of distress,
    adhyatmika, adhidaivika and adhibhoutika. Adhyatmika distress consists of physical
    and mental ailments like fever and sadness. Adhidaivika distress is that due to the
    elements, such as coldness and heat. Adhibhoutika distress is that which humans
    face from other livings beings, such as ghosts and snakes. At the time of atyantika
    destruction, these distresses also disappear.

    May BABA BLESS us and our family abundantly !

    Keshidhvaja and Khandikya


    Many years ago there was a king named Dharmadhvaja. He had two sons,
    Mitadhvaja and Kritadhvaja. Kritadhvaja was interested in acquiring knowledge
    and his son Keshidhvaja also became interested in acquiring spiritual knowledge.
    Mitadhvaja’s son Khandikya was a king, interested in karma yoga, that is,
    union with God through action.

    Both Khandikya and Keshidhvaja tried to outdo each other. Khandikya eventually
    lost his kingdom to Keshidhvaja and went off to the forest with his priests and
    minsiters. Although he became a king, Keshidhvaja used to perform yajnas.
    Once the cow intended for the yajna was eaten up by a tiger. This was a sin and
    Keshidhvaja had to atone for it. He asked several sages what the form of penance
    (prayashchiita) should be, but none of the sages knew. They all said that the right
    person to ask was Khandikya, who was now living in the forest.

    Keshidhavaja dressed himself up in deerskin and went to meet Khandikya. Thinking
    that Keshidhvaja might have come to kill him, Khandikya took up his bow and arrow.
    But Keshidhvaja told him that he had merely come to ask Khandikya a question.
    Khandikya told him what the right penance was and Keshidhvaja successfully
    completed the yajna.

    But he then realized that he had not given Khandikya the dakshina or fee that was
    due to a guru. As dakshina, Khandikya desired that Keshidhvaja instruct him on the
    path to spiritual knowledge.

    Keshidhvaja told Khandikya about the true nature of the atman, which was different
    from the mere physical body. True knowledge was that which taught that the atman
    was part of the paramatman and that one should therefore not get attached to
    material possessions. This realization came about through the practise or yoga.

    May BABA BLESS us and our family abundantly !

    How The Puranas Came Down to us


    At the end, the Vishnu Purana narrates how the Puranas came to be handed
    down to us through generationsof disciples.

    The Puranas tell men of the ways to attain moksha (salvation). Ages ago,
    Brahma himself had told the sage Ribhu the story of the Puranas. From Ribhu
    the knowledge had passed to Priyavrata and from Priyavrata to Bhaguri. Bhaguri
    gave the knowledge to Stavamitra and Stavamitra to Dadhichi. From Dadhichi
    it passed to Sarasvata, from Sarasvata to “Bhrigu, from Bhrigu to Purukutsa,
    from Purukutsa to Narmada, from Narmada to Dhritarashtra and Purana.
    Dhritarsashtra and Purana gave the knowedge to Vasuki, Vasuki to Vatsa and
    Vatsa to Ashvatara. Ashvatara passed it on to Kambala and Kambala to Elapatra.

    The sage Vedashira acquired the knowledge of the Puranas from the underworld
    and gave it to Pramati, Pramati gave it to Jatukarna and Jatukarna passed it
    on to many sages.

    Parashara had learnt of the Puranas from Vashishtha and he had now passed
    on the knowledge to Maitreya. Maitreya would eventually teach it to Shamika.

    So ends the sixth and final section of the Vishu Purana.


    May BABA BLESS us and our family abundantly !
