BHISHMA TALKED ABOUT NARA NARAYANA TO DURYODHANA

Bhishma explains glory of Lord Krishna

God himself takes four forms and protects the complete universe. God as 'Nara Narayana' practices 'Tapashcharya' or asceticism in Badrikashram, as 'Parameshwarappa' or almighty god witnesses all the good and bad karmas, as 'Lord Krishna' performs many activities in Manusya Loka or human world and in the fourth shape he sleeps in the Ekarnav ocean for thousands of years.

After the fourth day of the Mahabharata war, Seeing the consistent victory of Pandavas over the exquisite Maharathis like Bhishma, Shalya, Kritavarman, Kripacharya, Drona, Bhurishrava, Kamvojas, Bhagadatta, Ashwathama, Sudakshina, and many others, Duryodhana apparently asked the cause behind it to Bhishma. Then Bhishma had stated approximately the incident of Lord Brahma doing Stuti to Narayana to Duryodhana and the origin of Lord Krishna. The notable aspect was Duryodhana even after figuring out the greatness of Lord Krishna and Pandavas from Bhishma yet he still persisted with the war the next day. Let's know about it.

A long time ago, one day whole deities and Maharishis came to Gandhamadhana mountain and sat close to Lord Brahma. At that point, Lord Brahma observed one extremely wonderful Vimana in the sky. Lord Brahma who always has persistence manage over his senses, could apprehend via his meditation the incredible superior Parameswara had reached there and therefore Lord Brahma offered his prayers to him. Seeing great Lord like Brahma folding hands, the complete deities and sages also followed it. Lord Brahma then worshiped Param Purusha Parameswara there and did his Stuti and requested him to be born as Lord Krishna on the earth. 

"Oh Lord Padmanava! Vishala Lochana! Lord Krishna! you are the ruler and safe heaven of the complete universe. You take away all our sorrows. Deveshwara! with your kindness all deities live in peace. With the aid of your grace earth remains fearless. Request you to be born again in the Yadu dynasty on this planet. For the safety of the universe, the destruction of demons, and the establishment of Dharma kindly accept our plea. Oh, Lord Krishna! you are regarded as the lord of Sankarshana Deva thru your soul and created Pradyumna as your Atmaj(Son). From Pradyumna, Aniruddha was born whom wise people refer to as the form of Lord Vishnu and I appeared from him. By the grace of being identical to you, I'm additionally referred to as Lord Vasudeva. Kindly reincarnate yourself as Vasudeva in conjunction with Sankarshana, Pradyumna, and Aniruddha on the planet. "

Pleased on Lord Brahma, Parameswara affectionately told him in a deep voice, "Through my Yogic focus, I've understood your desires and the whole thing will act likewise." Then he Vanished from there. After that, each one of the deities enthusiastically asked Lord Brahma about that individual whom he had offered his prayers and did his Stuti. 

Lord Brahma spoke back, "Oh awesome Deities! The person who has splendid kinds of great elements like past, present, and future, called Paramatma and taken into consideration as remarkable almighty God gladly appeared before us to whom I've requested to take birth and live on earth for some time as Lord Vasudeva(Lord Krishna) and slay all the demons from here. 'Lord Narayana' will be reincarnated in Manushya yoni(Human world) to kill all those demons and Daityas who have been already killed before once more have been born in the Human world. Even the deities can not defeat Lord Krishna as soon as he enters the war. Furthermore, No ordinary people recognize two exceptional sages named Nara Narayana. 

I, the master of the complete universe am the elder son of Lord Vasudeva. We all must offer our prayers to him. Lord Vasudeva who holds Conchshell, Mace and Chakra, need to not be considered as any ordinary humanbeing. He is the Parampada, Parambrahma, Indescribable, Imperishable, glorious in Sanatana Dharma. Paramatma himself thru Yoga shakti, entered the body of a human being as Vasudeva, hence disregarding him falls into Tamas Guna of someone. That character who does not realize Padmanava Vasudeva and disdain him goes to Hell. " 

After hearing about Lord Krishna's embodiment from Lord Brahma, then  all of the deities left for their Lokas.

Bhishma furthermore stated to Duryodhana that, because of Duryodhana's Tamas Gunas, he kept hatred feelings for Pandavas while going in opposition to Lord Krishna. The super sages, Jamadagni, Parashurama, Markandeya, Vyasa, and Naradaji had also mentioned Basudeva Nandan Lord Krishna is the incarnation of tremendous Narayana. 

Bhishma yet again stated to Duryodhana that, "you have gone in opposition to Arjuna and Lord Krishna who're Nara and Narayana Deva. 'Where there is adherence to right action, Lord Krishna is there and no doubt where there is righteousness, there's victory.' Lord Krishna is Sanatana, Indestructible, master of all Lokas, Ruler of the earth, the extremely good warrior and conqueror thus Parameswara himself. Pandavas are safe by way of Lord Krishna's Mahatmya yoga and Atmaswarupa yoga. He blesses beneficial advice to the Pandavas. Whole Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Sudras worship Lord Krishna. He is the almighty lord Vasudeva who rebirths in the Human world and establishes Dwarika Nagari that is surrounded by way of Devaloka(heaven), Martyaloka(earth) and ocean."

Duryodhana then asked Bhishma about the origin of Lord Krishna. Bhishma replied, "As in keeping with sage Markandeya, Lord Krishna is the greatest being the Purushottama (the supreme Purusha beyond Kshara and Akshara) and Sarva Bhutamaya (containing the five elements area, air, water, fire, and earth). At the beginning of the universe, he creates water, fire, and air along with the whole human beings. After creating Prithvi Devi (earth), he sleeps on the sea thru his glorious Yoga Shakti, makes Agni from his mouth, air from the soul, and via mind Saraswati Goddess and Vedas. He makes all the Lokas alongside sages and deities in the starting. He's the occupant of universal dissolution and the form of death. He creates and destroys humans. He is established in religion, he created past, present, and future. Moreover, he made all of the directions, sky, and guidelines. He creates  the sages and their penance. The creator of the universe Lord Brahma is born from him. It is said that Lord Krishna creates Sankarshana(referred to as Sesha who contains the complete planet in conjunction with the entire people on his hood, the tamasic energy of Lord Narayana himself that stays deep within Patala) before the great elements in which remarkable Lord Narayana appeared. From the navel of Lord Narayana, Lord Brahma is seemed who later creates  humans on the planet. From the ear dirt of Narayana, once a demon named Madhu appeared who dishonored Lord Brahma thru his evil acts thus was killed by way of Lord Vishnu. Thus Lord is known as Madhusudana.

Sensible Brahmins thru their Dhyana yoga (purification of mind through meditation heightens religious consciousness) gets to recognize exquisite Vasudeva. He has regarded Varaha, Narasimha, and Vamana avatars too. He's the father and mother complete universe. Brahmins are created from his mouth, Kshatriyas from his two arms, Vaishyas from thighs, and Sudras from feet. That individual who at the same time as managing his senses, prays to Keshava devotedly throughout all Amavasyas and Purnimas, gets the divine Parampada. Lord Krishna due to his glory known as Hrishikesh who stays within the heart of each person. Duryodhana! You should consider him as Acharya, Father, and Guru. He grants victory of eternal Lokas to the ones on whom he's thrilled. Any individual who takes his shelter, does his Stuti brings prosperity to himself, in no way receives suffering from Samsara moha, and never gets fear. Nara and Narayana sages are born as Arjuna and Lord Krishna can by no means be defeated or killed in the war."

After hearing from Bhishma, Duryodhana understood the significance of Pandavas and greatness of Lord Krishna and prepared for the war next day.
