AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

How was Arjuna related to Sri Krishna🦚? Kunti was the biological daughter of Shurasena, a Yadava ruler. Her birth name was Pritha. She is said to be the reincarnation of the goddess Siddhi. She was the sister of Vasudeva, Krishna’s father. Thus, Kunti is the sister of Vasudeva who is Krishna’s father. Her son, Arjuna thus becomes Krishna’s cousin. I found this information online, can you please tell me if this information is correct.

Krishna and Arjuna were first cousins. But their relationship goes much deeper. Sri Krishna reveals in the Mahabharata that they are Nar (human) and Narayan (divine) two sages in their past life who have fought the battle of the Ages for the victory of Truth upon earth. In the Gita Sri Krishna as the Divine reveals that Arjuna is His vibhuti and a chosen instrument to carry humanity one more step forward in its evolutionary march.

My niece who is 12 yrs old doesn’t like sharing😥. If she takes her favorite food to school and her friends ask her to share, she doesn’t give or gives a very small piece. If by chance she happens to share a chocolate with girls she doesn’t like, she wants to snatch it away. She is attached to Krishna, and only thing that pacifies her is when we tell her that Krishna likes if she shares what He has given her. She says “I know it’s bad, i know it’s a devil that says this, but I can’t overpower it. It tells me that those girls did bad and said bad things about you, instead of that you shared your things, now you go steal something from them. Or I keep thinking what will I get if I give them”..[conti]
