Today I saw ad about a stage play.....i was really surprised by the story line. I never imagined 125 year old elderly krishna. Never imagined his end was so painful .
"Leelantha", as the name suggests is a story about the happenings in the final hour of Lord Krishna's life.
It's been 36 years since the great war of Kurukshetra; the people in Dwaraka are on riots killing their fellow countrymen.
Krishna is old; his eyesight is failing and has no strength even to walk a few steps. Unable to bear this animalistic behavior of his people Krishna escapes from the palace and takes refuge in a forest nearby. He is accompanied by his servant Dharuka. He orders his servant to go and get Arjuna, after much reluctance his servant leaves him and goes. At this point a hunter enters the same area of the forest in search of his prey. He accidentally shoots at Krishna thinking that it's an animal, he is shooting at. But Krishna does not die immediately.
The conversation between Krishna and the Hunter, and what happened after Arjuna came to meet Krishna forms the rest of the story.
Friend told me this is narrated in bhagavath purna. I want to read this.
