Mahabharat Katha

In some remote village of India, one masterji is
teaching the Mahabharat katha to class 6 students. He
is at the 'krishnajanma' part of it.
Masterji: ""Kansa heard the akashwani that his sister's
8th child is going to kill him. He was furious. He
ordered to put vasudev n devki behind the bars.

First son is born, and kansa kills him by poisoning...
Second one is born n kansa throws him off the mountain
peak. Third one is born...""

Now Ramu, who is smartest of the lot, puts up his
hand. Masterji, I have a doubt (sounding nervous n
confused)

Masterji: ""Ramu bete, whole India does not have doubt
in mahabharata then how come u have one?""

Ramu : Masterji, if Kansa knew that Devaki's 8th child
was going to Kill him,

WHY THE HELL DID HE PUT VASUDEV AND DEVAKI IN THE SAME CELL ? [/font]

Kansa put Vasudev and Devki in the same cell because either

[1] he was Devki's brother and loved his sister.

[2] he must have thought that ' no man should divide , what god has united' [ by the union of marriage.

[3] he knew that nobody can run away from fate.

[4] he must have been an agnostic and wanted to see if reallly what the scriptures said was right.

These are 4 reasons , i think there must be a hundred, the reason is Krishna waited for Kansa's 100 reasons to get over and only then killed him.

[ It could be said that the asset balance of Kansa was 100 only.

Hindu mythology is filled with such things . ANother is about Parshuram wiping away 100 generations. The most important but which i fearfully want to point out is about Rama being an icon/ideal. To his wife and children he was not so. He did not see his sons till they were mature enough to fight a battle. He forsake his wife who was with him through all the thick and thin living in the jungle. When good times came, .................. Conscience good thinking, everything prevailed. YE galat hai.

I remember reading somewhere ' what does it profit a man if he conquers the world and looses his soul?' I say, what does it profit a man if he gains popularity and popular respect and looses his family? The lost years will never come back.
