Who is Uddhava according to Mahabharata?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Uddhava (also known as Pavanayadhi) was the friend and counsellor of Lord Krishna. He plays a significant role in the Bhagavata Purana, being taught the processes of yoga and bhakti directly by Krishna. The principle of these discussions is often referred to as the Uddhava Gita, similarly to the Bhagavad Gita wherein Krishna instructs Arjuna. According to some texts Uddhava was also Krishna's cousin, being the son of Devabhaga, who was the brother of Vasudeva, Krishna's father. His physical appearance was so like that of Krishna's that in some instances he is temporarily mistaken for the latter.

In the Bhagavata Purana, after Krishna had defeated Kamsa, Uddhava came to see him, much to Krishna's pleasure. Krishna then requested Uddhava to visit Vrindavan with a message on his behalf to the Gopis and other residents of the village, who were missing his company. The content of the message and the feelings aroused by it when heard by the residents of Vrindavan constitute the highest understanding of love of God in the tradition of Gaudiya Vaishnavism.

Uddhava was famous as devotee and a dear friend of Krishna but even he could not fathom why he had not prevented the destruction from happening. Brahma, the creator, and the celestial implored Krishna to return to his divine abode after the purpose of his descent was over.

Who loss his teeth while writing Mahabharata?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Perhaps Lord Ganeshji was pleased by Vyasadev by his tapasya to write the MAHABHARAT.

Becauseapart from Lord Ganeshji their was no other befitting intellectual to follow & copy the dictation of Vyasadev to note the great epic.

However, to the utter sorrow of VYASADEV his iron needle used for writing the hymns on the palmleaf was lost while he sat on DHYANA to dictate.

Getting no other means Lord Ganesh immediately broke one of his sharp tusks to use it as a means to write on the palmleaf. This is how he lost his tusk (teeth).

THE FATHER OF VISHNU

Hindus who believe that Vishnu is the supreme Hindu god consider him as Adibhagavan or eternal god. This means that Vishnu has no birth and therefore no father.

THE CONCEPT OF BRAHMAN AS FATHER OF VISHNU

It is well accepted in Hinduism that all gods originate from Brahman.

According to Manu Smriti Purusha, who is the same as Brahman (Manu Smriti 1.11) is made of seven Maha Purushas. Though not mentioned in Hindu scriptures, we can conclude that Vishnu is the central of the seven Mahapurushas.

Thus, it is tempting to conclude that Brahman, in the real form, is the father of Vishnu.

However, such a concept has no practical use because Brahman is beyond the comprehension of practically all Hindus.
