Bhishma Ashtami Video Action Provoking
Channel: Chamunda Swami Ji
Date: 08/02/2022

Today, we celebrate the death of Bhishma, son of Shantanu, king of the Kuru Dynasty from the times of Mahabharata. Bhishma was the most powerful man known in history and had the boon of Iccha Mrityu (death only by one’s wish). Nothing could kill him, except his own wish and this as a result made him immortal. There is a legend of his birth and death and we will look into it later. Today, we discuss how his death taught us a very important law of Karma.

As the great war of Mahabharata was ending, Bhishma was severed with many arrows, leading to him lying on a bed of arrows. He then asked Lord Krishna, that when he hadn’t done anything wrong in this life, why then, he had to endure so much pain. This was when Lord Krishna reminded Bhishma, that in his 73rd past life, Bhishma used to prick worms, insects, and birds with sharp needles. Lord Krishna said that it is exactly those many arrows as the needles he now lays in. Bhishma lived on for four generations and was the most knowledgeable, bravest, wisest, most humane and he followed the Dharma always. 

He lived a full life and experienced a glorious death. His life and death both teach us an important lesson - No matter when we perform an action, it will, either in this lifetime or many lifetimes after, come back to us in the exact same form. If we are lucky, we can pay all our dues in the same life and if not, then even 73 lives aren’t enough. So act wisely.
