 Notes for Epified - Krishna


The birth of Krishna

Cruel King Kamsa. His cousin Devaki married Vasudev. A voice from the sky told him that the eighth child of this couple would slay him. The king decided to kill all of her children to prevent his own death. The 7th child was transported by a goddess from its mother's womb to the womb of Rohini. Kamsa thought she had a miscarriage so he was happy. Then she became pregnant with her 8th child. The animals of the earth and the gods rejoiced because Vishnu was returning to Earth. The guards soon approached to kill the child.

Vasudev stood in his prison cell holding his child. He looked out his cell and saw that the guards were asleep. He walked out with his son. The entire city of Mathura was silent and still. He went to the Yamuna river. The voice in his head told him to surrender to the river. He bowed and asked for help. A huge serpent emerged from the river. Vasudev stepped into the river and the serpent protected him from the rain and he made it across. He found a camp of gypsies on the other side. He found Yashoda who had given birth to a girl named Maya that night. He placed his son next to Yashoda and took Maya instead.

Introduction to Jacob the Entrepreneur

 My name is Jacob and I am a Sophomore majoring in Economics. I'm from the Texas Hill country (a place called Bulverde, just north of San Antonio) however I was born in El Paso. Despite growing up near both the University of Texas and Texas A&M, I am actually a lifelong OU fan. My parents and grandparents were all fans of either of the other two schools, but I held my ground. My grandma would always tell me "you'll probably change your mind several times as you got older", but I knew that I wanted to be a Sooner. Originally, I had planned on majoring in Biology and eventually (hopefully) going to medical school. But my interests rapidly changed over my freshman year at OU. Growing up, I had always been very close to my Dad and I looked up to him in many ways. He was a very hard worker and an entrepreneur. His most successful business was, and is, a custom home company named J Taylor Custom Homes, named after me (also check us out at JTaylorCustomHomes.com ). As I ...

Reading Notes: Epified - Mahabharata Part F

Ep 48 - Krishna Meets the Pandavas          News about the defeat of the Pandavas in the gambling match made it to Krishna. He left to meet the Pandavas in the forest. He was upset that he hadn't been available to help the Pandavas because he was protecting Dwarka. Krishna urged the Pandavas to fight the Kauravas and take back their kingdom. They did not agree.      The reason Krishna was not able to be there for the Pandavas is that Dwarka was being attacked by King Shalva. Krishna ended the war when he used his Sudarshan Chakra to decapitate Shalva.  Ep 49 - Arjun Receives Shiva's Weapon     Krishna blesses the Pandavas and promises his allegiance. The Pandavas were struggling with little resources. Many sages came and gave them knowledge while living in the forest. Ved Vyasa came to visit the Pandavas. He told Arjun that he needed to acquire Indra's and Shiva's celestial weapons in order to win the war. Arjun left for the Himalay...
