Krishna's Son: The Prank That Became an Extinction
The Mahabharata is filled with epic tales of gods and heroes, but few are as dark or as tragic as the story of Samba, the son of Lord Krishna. We think we know Krishna as the supreme savior, the divine protector. But what happens when his own son's arrogance unleashes a prophecy so terrible it leads to the complete annihilation of their entire civilization, the Yadava dynasty?
This is the hidden story of the Mausala Parva, the 16th book of the Mahabharata. It's a shocking tale of how a single prank—a cruel joke played on powerful sages—spiraled into a divine curse that even Krishna, the ultimate god, chose not to stop.
Join us as we uncover this lost chapter of Hindu mythology, piecing together clues from ancient texts to answer the ultimate question: Why would a god watch his own family, his own kingdom, and his own city of Dwarka be utterly destroyed in a self-inflicted apocalypse? This isn't just a story about a prank gone wrong; it's a profound lesson on pride, karma, and the terrifying consequences when even the children of gods forget their place in the cosmos.
Discover the true story of Krishna's son and the curse that erased an entire civilization from existence.
