Ramanand Sagar's 'Shri Krishna' (6):- Mohini Avtaar



The story continues from the saagar manthan episode. When the asuras got the 'amrit' and left with it, the gods went to the LORD and asked HIM a way to save the divine Amrit. Then the LORD appeared to the asuras as a beautiful woman - MOHINI . Mesmerized by HER charm, the asuras gave away the nectar to MOHINI to distribute it between the gods and asuras according to her own wish. As she started distributing the Amrit among the gods, one asur maned Rahu noticed that, changed his appeearance and went to the side of the gids to have the amrit. Gods caught him. Now Mohini appeared as Lord Vishnu and cut Rahu's head with his Surdarshan chakra. Asuras felt deceived. thus a great war started between gods and asuras which came to be known as ‘Dev-Asur sangram ‘.




Afterwards --
(we need to know this part of the story to relate it to next avtaars of the LORD ) –

Gods were powerful because of the 'Amrit ' and won the battle ('Dev-Asur sangram ). The king of Asuras- raja Bali, was also killed in the war. But the demon guru Shukracharya had the knowledge of Sanjeevani. After the war, he brought back to life all the asuras (including raja Bali ) who died during the war.



Here , we also get the information that - Kaalnemi (an asura) was killed in this war . He was born again as king Kansa in Mathura , and died in the hands of Lord Krishna.

Bliss Generated by Shri Krishna: Some songs from Ramanand Sagar's 'Shri Krishna'

Just thought to post some songs from Ramanand Sagar's Shri Krishna serial, where we can FEEL the Bliss genrated by the Lord to all the persons around Him. Each of these songs are Sooo Special to me due to emotions (Joy) they produce!

'Hari Haraye Namah Krishna'

This is a very famous and old stotra on Shri Krishna. I heard it for the first time in the film 'Aagantuk'. Utpal Dutt was reciting this stotra, the original voice was of Satyajit Ray's, I think. But there the stotra remained incomplete as the next events of the film started taking place. From then, I always wanted to listen the full stotra along with reading it. Very recently I came to the audio track of the same and got the lyrics on internet. It has 10 stanzas, written by Narottam Das. Above the post I have given the vidoe of the song from YouTube, and here is the lyrics, and the English translation (which I got from the internet, credit goes to the original writer who posted the lyrics). (1) Hari haraye namah krishna yadavaya namah Yadavaya madhavaya kesavaya namah (2) Gopala govinda rama sri-madhusudana Giridhari gopinatha madana-mohana (3) Sri-caitanya-nityananda sri-advaita-sita Hari guru vaishnava bhagavata gita (4) Sri-rupa sanatana bhatta-...
