Yudhistira and Draupadiwere ridding in a Chariot.
On the way they saw Lord Krishna was taking bath in a river.
On seeing him Yudhistira stopped the Chariot to enquire of Lord Krishna.
But Krishna did not come ashore.
He continued standing in the water.
After a few minutes Draupadi, who is the sister Lord Krishna,ripped a portion of her Saree and threw it to Lord Krishna.
Lord Krishna wrapped it around his waist and came ashore,
The reason for Krishna not coming ashore was that his Kaupeena(underwear-Loin Cloth) was washed away in the River.
Draupadi,also called Krishnai(because she was black) understood this and threw the cloth to him.
Krishna blessed them both and said to Draupadi ‘I will remember this’
After a while Yudistira and Draupadi rode away.
Yudishtira was lost in thoughts,looking worried.
Draupadi told him that there was no necessity for him to look glum especially after being Blessed by Lord Krishna.
”That’s exactly what I am worried about said Yudhistira.
“It was all-right for Krishna to Bless us, But he said ‘I will remember this’
That’s what I am worried about.
Did he mean that you shall come to such a grief that only by the remembrance of Krishna , you might be saved.?”
Truly Krishna remembered this and came to the rescue of Draupadi when she was publicly disrobed and none did utter a word.
What a way and Time to remember!
He remembers every thing.
He informs Arjuna in the Second Chapter of the Bhagavad Gita , when Arjuna was despondent about the necessity of killing his kith and kin.
‘Arjuna, you grieve for those whom need not be grieved for….
The Atman,Self is Eternal,it is never Born nor does it die…
But the difference between you and Me is that I remember my previous Births while you do not’
In our ignorance we forget Him,
but He……NEVER.
Sarvam Krishnaarppanamasthu.
