Story of Barbarika watching Mahabharata war:
  • Barbarika - grandson of Bhima & Hidimbi
  • Learnt whoever is killed by Krsna attains liberation
  • Attained various weapons from demi-gods by austerities
  • Took the side of Kauravas
  • Fought with Krsna. Krsna cut his head
  • Blessed by Krsna to see the whole war.
  • His observation - No one fought the war. Every where it is only Sudarsana Cakra which was moving around actively killing Bhisma, Drona, etc.
  • Analogy - Arjuna's Gandiva bow became useless when he wanted to protects the queens while returning from Dvaraka
  • Moral: All energies and powers are derived from the Supreme source, Lord Krsna, and they act as long as He desires and cease to function as soon as He withdraws.
