Have you ever experienced the joy of knowing the unknown. Today i have experienced such a joy. Here it goes...
When i was browsing in the internet, i got the answer for the most confronted question " What kind of God is your God who had so many wives?". I used to feel a lot for i couldn't answer such a question. I used to wonder whether such a thing can ever be justified. I have never asked any of my elders for it may look weird for most of them.
We treat our gods as role models and get inspired by the acts they did. We used to set them as examples for other human beings. What if a person, having no knowledge of mythology, be asked a question like this?. He/she will go numb to this question for sure. So it is the high time for the followers of Hinduism to know the fact about the God who had 16000 wives.
Lord Krishna may have 16000 wives, but he is an eternal Brahmachari ( Celebacy ). He declared in this in the battle field of Kurukshetra. I don't know why people hide or ignore this sentence which was uttered by the Lord himself.
When Dronacharya's son Ashwaddama released an arrow to kill all the Pandava children, Lord Sri Krishna vowed to save the unborn child in Abhimanyu's wife womb. Sri Krishna declared "If there is any truth in the fact that i am an Akhanda Brahmachari may the unborn child be saved from the wrath of Ashwaddama".
The child was indeed saved, who grew up to be the king Parikshit.
Now that i know the truth, I no longer stay numb when asked the question of Lord Krishna having many wives. I feel pity on myself for not knowing this till now. Here I share more insights about this topic http://www.celextel.org/storiesandanecdotes/krishnanityabrahmachari.html
