Male bonding inspired by krishnarjun? A study - Page 2

Then Arjun happens to see Subhadra and falls in love with her. When Krishna reveals her identity Arjun did not hesitate to express his wish.Duhita vasudevasya, vaasudevasya swasa...And Krishna is extremely pleased and helps his friend. Krishna proved himself to be a loyal friend and a good brother also. He knows that he can not find a more deserving person for his dear sister. After Arjun and Subhadra reaches Indraprasth, Krishna also goes there and stays with Parth.

As severe summer approached Partha said Ushnani Krishna vartante gachamo Yamunanagar prati. Let us go to Yamuna as it is very hot here. And Krishna said Suhrujjana vritah,Partha vihara a Yathati Sukham. Let us roam there with our friends. The two krishnas know how to enjoy life and explore nature. They even took Draupadi,Subhadra and many friends,artists,instruments. Exact picnic feel is there if we go through the narration. Good food,wine,dancing singing. what not? On the bank of the river they got even rest houses to shelter them. Venu Veena mridanganam manojnanam cha sarvasah. The whole atmosphere is filled with fun and enjoyment,Veena,Flute,Drums. All these reverberated the bank of Yamuna. Draupadi and Subhadra were described as enjoying so much donating all their ornaments to ladies in their intoxication. In the whole of Mbh,we never see any other friends enjoy like Krishna and Arjuna did. The after some time we find the two of them move away from the picnic spot and enjoy in a secluded spot,talking about so many past things. Bahuni kathayitva tau..parthamadhavau. No other Pandava is present there surprisingly.

This is so interesting

After Khandava Dahan, Indra asked Krishna and Arjun to ask for boons. Arjun asked Indra to bestow divine Astras while Krishna said he would request Indra to bless his friendship with Arjun permanent and ever lasting. Vasudevopi jagraha Preetim Parthenon saswatim. It makes us wonder how the supreme Lord Krishna rated his friendship with Arjuna above everything . What good fortune is associated with Arjun to make him sit on the highest pedestal ever, the throne of Lord's heart. What did God see in him that made him so connected to Arjun that he forgot his own supremacy and enjoyed so much in his company. Of course both are cousins.But more than relationship,friendship prevailed and made them inseparable. There are do many around him.Satyaki,uddhava,Yudhishtir,Bheem,Nakul,Sahadev,..the list is endless. Must be a case of soul connection and similar outlooks on matters related to life. Let us go further and see what the two friends offer us to analyse and feel elated on seeing them together.

When the Pandavas lost their Kingdom, and living in the forest Krishna visits them. On hearing the story of Sakuni's treachery and Draupadi's humiliation, he gets angry and becomes ferocious with uncontrollable anger. Krudham Janardanam Arjunah samayamasa Didrukshantamiva Prajah. Krishna looked as if he will consume every thing in anger. Only Arjun has the guts to approach him and pacify him. That is the bond they share. If one gets angry the other one pacifies. If one gets depressed the other one goes to the extent of teaching the essence of dharma that is Bhagawatgita for his sake. Krishna listens to Arjun's praise and becomes cool. After that he declares that there is no difference between him and Arjun at all. Mamaiva tvam, Tavaivaaham. You are Nara and I am Narayan,we are the ancient sages.narastvamasi ...Narayanoaham. You are from me I am from you. No one can understand the difference between us. Well this was a bonding that got Devine roots but still refreshingly natural just like any normal friends. Two bodies and one soul we can say. We will be blessed if we are able to feel their friendship that is unique.

Awesome analysis. The bonding between Krishna and Arjun is beyond a mere human's understanding. For the Lord to value a human's friendship, I totally floored but then, without the bonding, we will not have Gita...
