Lord Krishna and The 'Narayana Astra'

When Dronacharya was killed in the Mahabharata war, his son Ashwathama became very angry. 

He shot the 'Narayana Astra' - a terrifying, disastrous weapon on the Pandava army. 

None could stop it. 

It could immediately destroy and burn those who had weapons in their hands or were seen trying to fight. 

Lord Krishna, knowing that the Narayana Astra did not attack unarmed people, ordered Pandava's army to leave their weapons on the ground and stand still and quiet with folded hands. 

He said, "Do not even bring the thought of war into your mind as that could also destroy you". 

Everyone followed his command and did what they were told to do.

Narayana Astra gradually calmed down when its time expired. 

In this way, the Pandava army was saved. 

Battles are not just about attack and counter-attack. 

Some battles are won by staying put and remaining quiet.

In today's trying times, in order to escape the wrath of nature, we all need to stop going out for some time, remain calm and quiet, stay in our homes and keep the good in mind, and let things pass.

Stay safe and positive and we will emerge victoriously.
