Swami Ram Swarup: My blessings to you. Geeta shloka 5/13 states “Navdware Pure Dehi………………”. Idea being the human body has nine dwar(outlets). So, the said shloka relates to outlets only and not mind etc. Shloka 13/5 of Bhagwad Geeta states- “Indriyanni Dush Ekam Cha” idea being that human body has eleven indriyas i.e., five senses of action, five perceptions of knowledge and one mind (mann). So, there are eleven indriyan.
Sudhir Adhikari: Namaskar. Thank you for your short and sweet answer. As far as I know, Pandavs went to sorga (through sorga-dari) after settling their problems.
Questions:
1. After Mahabharat when they gottheir Rajya back how long they ruled.. at Hastinapur (what was Arjun age?) approximately.
2. Did they went to sorga after Lord Krishana died? Was Lord Krishana last member of Yedubansha. If not in the history whose name was mentioned?
3. If tourists want to visit the place where Lord Krishana place (Gokul) how they can reach? Or the location is no more accessible now.
4. Last time when I went to Mathura Tour they show us birth place of lord Krishna but did not mentioned anything about the place where he died, maybe guide did not give us full information. would you please tell us. If accessible, next time we will visit there..
5. He gave lot of Upadesh to Arjun (through Gita). After Mahabharat war is over what upadesh he gave to his followers. If any please indicate.
Thank you and Namaskar. I have more questions about Lord Krishana because I want to know much about Lord Krishna.. which is after Mahabharat.
Swami Ram Swarup: My blessings to you.
(i) Pandavas ruled for about 36 years. No doubt , Arjun was above 100 years age but exact age is not known.
(ii) Yes, all Pandavas left their body in jungle after Sri Krishna maharaj died.
(iii) The names of descendent yaduvanshis after Sri Krishna Maharaj were Vajra and Yauyudhane .
(iv) Tourist go to Mathura and then probably distance from Mathura to Gokul is not more than 10-15 k.m. Actually I have been to Gokul since long and distance may not be correct but it is sure that distance is quite less and Gokul is accessible to tourists. Even hawkers are there who invite tourist to visit Gokul. Sri Krishna Maharaj left his pious body near Dwarka Puri in jungle under a tree, at his own discretion .
(v) It is not known that after Mahabharat war , Sri Krishna Maharaj gave any preach.
You are welcome, please.
