1235. Krishna, The Master Strategist.... !

In Brindavan little Krishna was a naughty kid playing pranks, breaking the butter pot, stealing butter from the house and hiding clothes of young Gopikas while they were bathing. It was this naughtiness of Natkat Krishna that kept Brindavan always pleasant and making it an interesting place to live. Everyone there missed Krishna when He left to Hastinapura. They remembered those times when He was playfully innocent and naughty out of love.

In Hastinapura it was not the same Krishna that was to be in Brindavan. Also the situation in Hastinapura was not to be as breezy as it was in Brij Bhoomi. The politically driven community in Hastinapura were different from those peaceful cattle rearing folks. Krishna had to transform himself from an easy going boy to a master strategist. He had been intentionally naughty in Brij but here in Hastinapura the situation was different situation He had to be naughtily intentional to check upon the dirty politics. 

Shakuni one of the circuitous individual had to be handled with glove of caution. Duryodhana and his brothers were a reckless lot with nastiest designs. Karna was a lethal toxin that could spill on propitious things. There were many weeds like Ashwathama, Shishupala, Jayadratha needing to be chopped off. Over that there seem to be a "Mahagathbandhan" of Kings from Anga, Vanga, Kalinga, Kambhoja, Tushara, Kalakeya, Amvastha, Yavana, Salva, Madra, Gandhara, Sampshapataka, Nishada, Avanti, Vinda and Anuvinda to handle. 

An ordinary individual would have become nastily serious but Krishna here again used his innocent mischief as a strategy to deal with the political crooks.

With the backing of Karna, Shakuni and Ashwattama, Duryodhana blackmailed his blind father emotionally to take decisions against Pandavas which was not acceptable by Sri Krishna. If malicious people like Shakuni, Karna and Ashwattama were not dealt with properly they cause problems to Pandavas in particular and entire civilization in general. If this conspiracy culture is not put to an end it becomes unending humdrum and will continue to aeons. Sri Krishna was cool in Hastinapura as He was in Brindavan, the external situations did not affect his composure. Just that His inner calculations were different from what it was earlier.  

It became inevitable to lie in order to take on the crooked. It was a scenario where it was between which lie was to uplift Dharma and who was bluffing to gain in an Adhramic way. Political intrigue forced one to pick between the bad and the worst. The method of cleaning bad politics sometimes could be an unclean job. Thinking about it, a good political strategy and a mean political strategy look the same to a common man, but their consequences are very different. By the time the common man comes to know which is what, the whole damage is happened.    

With 2019 general elections around the corner there are a whole bunch of Modi haters who want to malign the image of not only P.M but also the current government. Another set of people are posting goofed up articles, creating memes which contain far from truth information regarding the developments made by the current government, like for example, some moron had posted the arrangements made in Haj and boasted it to be the preparations made by U.P government for Prayagraj Kumbh Mela. Both groups are posting fake and far from truth messages on WhatsApp and Facebook. 

Social media has turned out to be Kurukshetra and we need to calm down and share what is worth sharing and ignore the fake and mischievous posts.
