LORD KRISHNA THE AMBASSADOR
It was when the epic
Mahabharata war was all set to begin:
Lord Krishna was sent
by Yudhishtir, the eldest Pandava
To try and talk to the Kauravas-for a peaceful solution-
Though vengeful
Draupadi was dead against a peace accord.
The all-knowing Lord
Krishna, though aware of the outcome,
Went anyway to discuss
peace with the over-ambitious king Duryodhana.
Though the
arrogant king warned his courtiers against showing respect to Krishna,
He was the
first to stand up sheepishly when the smiling Lord set foot in his presence.
Lord Krishna charmed
everyone in the palace with his Divine charm,
But Duryodhana refused
to give even a pin-prick area of land to the Pandavas
In spite of words of
wisdom and caution from his own sagely elders.
Thus the Lord Krishna,
who had ordained such an outcome, returned smiling
To announce the war.
