Why did lord Krishna eat peanuts for 18days of Mahabharata?

So let's start the whole story and see why it happened.

Before sharing the story behind the eating of peanuts, I would like to share the background of Mahabharata. If you don’t want to read, skip this part and go down to know the reason of eating peanuts.

It was a battle of Dharma and everyone was present on the battlefield to fight except the two characters i.e.

Balram

Rukmani amba

It is the story of one family, on one side there were 5 sons of Pandu known as Pandavas and on the other side, there were 100 sons of Dhritarashtra known as Kauravas. The names of 5 Pandava were Yudhishthir, Bhimsen, Arjun, Nakul, and Sehdev. Among the 100 sons of Dhritarashtra, Duryodhan was the eldest son.

Apart from Pandava and Kauravas, the other important characters in this fight were

Pitamah Bhishma,

Guru Dronacharya,

Guru Kripacharya,

Madar Naresh Shalva (Mama of Nakul and Sehdev),

Sindhu Naresh Jaydrath (Husband of Duryodhana's sister Dushala),

Danveer Karna (eldest kunti son),

Raja dhrupad and his sons Dhrishtadyumna and Shikandi,

Shakuni (Maternal Uncle of Duryodhan),

Matysa Naresh Virat and his sons Utara,

the most important Lord Krishna (Incarnation of Lord Vishnu).

Who was fighting to whom’s side

On the side of Pandava: Apart from Pandava, Lord Krishna, Dhrupad Naresh and his sons, Matysa Naresh and his son, Yuyutsu (Brother of Duryodhan).

On the Side of Kauravas: Duryodhan and his brothers, Pitamah Bhishma, Guru Dronacharya, Guru Kripacharya, Karna, Madar Naresh Shalva, Sidhu Naresh Jaydrath, Narayani Sena (Lord Krishna Soldiers).

If we read/see Mahabharat and try to find out the reasons behind Mahayudh, then we could find several reasons. Everyone was fighting either to take revenge or due to their prana (pledge).

Some of the major reasons were as follows.

Duryodhana and his brothers were fighting as Duryodhan wanted to become king followed by his father Dhritarashtra and wanted to take Pandava out of Hastinapur.

Pandava was fighting for their rights and to take revenge of bad things happened to them due to Duryodhana especially the insult of Drapaudi.

Pitamah Bhishma, Guru Dronacharya and guru Kripacharya were fighting due to pratigya.

Karna wanted to prove that he was the best Archer in the universe.

Sindu Naresh Jarasandh wanted to take revenge from Pandava.

Madra Naresh got the support from Pandava in their earlier battle, so he wanted to support Pandava.

Drupad Naresh and his sons wanted to take revenge from guru Dronacharya.

Why did Shri Lord Krishna eat peanuts for 18 days in the war of Mahabharata?

The actual story began when the king of Udupi came to know about the battle and he came to kurukshetra with his troops. He met with Lord Krishna and said I came here to fight but my heart/mind was not allowing me to take part and I did not want to favour any side. Still, I have one proposal and I request you to accept my proposal and blessed me.

Here is the conversation that took place between lord Krishna and king of Udupi

Lord Krishna asked : what is your proposal??

King of Udupi said : I want to prepare foods for all the veer and mahaveer participating in the battle.

Lord Krishna accepted his proposal and allowed him for the arrangement of food.

King of Udupi started making foods and everyday when all the Yodha took their food, whatever he cooked, that food finished completely at the end of day. It means there was no wastage of food, and also it was available in plenty for everyone.

The war ended in 18 days and Pandava won the war. Everyone became surprised when they came to know about a proper food planning.

Post the possession of crown, one day Hastinapur Naresh maharaj Yudhishthira asked to the king of Udupi about the logic behind this.

The king of Udupi asked: Hey maharaj, could you please tell me to whom you would give credit to your win.

Maharaj Yudhishthir replied : Lord Krishna

Then king of Udupi replied: Lord Krishna is also responsible for my karma as well. Everyday he ate peanuts in the night and on the next day when we entered inside his tent, we collected all the lamella (peanuts chilka) and counted. We multiply the counted lamella with 1000 and we would come to know the number of deaths going to happen on that day and we prepared our foods accordingly.

As we know, Lord Krishna knew everything and he knew the result of Mahabharata as well. He was eating peanuts to help the Udupi Naresh in his food making.

This is the story which explain why did lord Krishna eat peanuts everyday.

INDIES TOP 108+ BOLLYWOOD MYTHOLOGICALS.. OF ALL TIME !

It is only natural to expect the oldest most ancient perennial spiritual mine & market of the world, the cradle of the universe, India, to devote noticeable quality time to it's spiritual entertainment too.

And not to disappointment here either. The purpose of this playlist being..inspiring the masses into the level of education that's transcendental..ie from normal average understanding of the tangible world (or worldly consciousness) to understanding of the spirit & soul beneath this tangible world & knowledge, (or God/Higher Creative consciousness), & ultimately to Formless Consciousness. And since this process necessarily involves first acquainting the masses with the truth of supernatural overlordship, & thereafter beginning one's journey to connecting the worldy knowledge with that highest spirit knowledge, the hitherto unlearnt & non-formalized deeper science of life, at the doors of which alone lies the keys to developing critical higher thot mass, potent enuf to then acquire the internal energy field needed to burn one's layers of past karma baggage & bondage, & progress faster unto life's ultimate purpose..liberation/self-realization.. ..Thus coming back to the focus area of this study - projecting the big Dot (of God acquaintance!), to be hopefully connected by students later on in life, with the world's many smaller dots, a process known as 'contemplation' !... (A greater elaboration on the process detailed in the below linked blogs- 1. https://wordpress.com/post/indiezone.home.blog/256 2. https://wordpress.com/post/indiezone.home.blog/4696 ) The land with the oldest, & some of the richest most fantastical mythical, aside spiritual literature, ripe for dramatic enunciation, presentation & adornation, has turned out, just in it's national language of Hindi alone, a high quantum of top knotch mythological entt, most prolifically in it's golden cinematic period of 50s & 60s, & also 40s (leaving aside the vast 20s & 30s silent film era spiritual cine treasure, lost to time), the Top 100 of which (as made available for view, though some obscure masterpieces blindly ranked just on basis of reviews of the oldest most highly reputable critics of the time, as also the sampling of some of it's impeccable music) have been laboriously & meticulously extricated, ranked & reassorted, at Indies, for the best most potentially transformative cinematic spiritual experience of its viewers. If ever dharma had a more natural appealing massy outlet! :) Have a watch (any plans on some healthy month long spiritual bingeing!?), & reconnect with the prominent mainstream stories of India, most of your parents, & certainly grandparents & all 'em generations before, have grown up on. The reputed 'land of magic', & it's plethora of multifaried magical Gods & Goddesses! At your beck & call! Should you show some interest! Literally! Have fun!

Wishing #Mumtaz many happy returns of the day on her 70th birthday.

Mumtaz Madhvani, formerly Mumtaz (born 31 July 1947), is a Hindi film actress.

Mumtaz appeared as a child actress in Sone Ki Chidiya (1958). As a teenager, she acted as an extra in Vallah Kya Baat Hai, Stree and Sehra in the early 1960s. As an adult, her first role in A-grade films was that of the role of sister of the hero in O. P. Ralhan's Gehra Daag. She got small roles in successful films such as Mujhe Jeene Do. Later, she got the role of the main lead heroine in 16 action films, including Faulad, Veer Bhimsen, Tarzan Comes to Delhi, Sikandar-E-Azam, Rustom-E-Hind, Raaka, and Daku Mangal Singh, with freestyle wrestler Dara Singh, and was labelled as a stunt-film heroine. In the films that the pair Dara Singh-Mumtaz did together, Dara's remuneration was INR 450,000 per film, and Mumtaz's salary was INR 250,000 per film.

It took Raj Khosla's blockbuster Do Raaste (1969), starring Rajesh Khanna, to finally make Mumtaz a full-fledged star. Although Mumtaz had a minor role, director Khosla filmed four songs with her. The film made her popular, and she acknowledged that even though she had a small role, it was still one of her favourite films. In 1969, her films Do Raaste and Bandhan, with Rajesh Khanna, became top grossers of the year, earning around 65 million and 28 million respectively. She played Rajendra Kumar's leading lady in Tangewala. Shashi Kapoor, who had earlier refused to work with her in Saccha Jootha because she was a "stunt-film heroine", now wanted her to be his heroine in Chor Machaye Shor (1973). She acted opposite Dharmendra as the lead heroine in films like Loafer and Jheel Ke Us Paar (1973).

She won the Filmfare Best Actress Award for one of her favourite films Khilona in 1970, and she was "very happy that the audience accepted her in an emotional role". Mumtaz frequently acted with Feroz Khan in hits like Mela (1971), Apradh (1973) and Nagin (1976). Her pairing with Rajesh Khanna was the most successful in a total of 10 films. She quit films after her film Aaina (1977) to concentrate on her family. She made a comeback 13 years later with her final film Aandhiyan in 1990.
