Why Did Krishna Wait for the 100th Insult? | The Vow He Made to a Mother
Description
Fall asleep to the complete story of Shishupala — the king who insulted Krishna 100 times, and what happened when he reached the limit.
Shishupala was born with three eyes and an extra arm. The prophecy came immediately: the man who would one day kill him was already in the room. Krishna was present. His mother begged Krishna to forgive her son's wrongs — up to 100 times. Shishupala spent his entire life counting down from that number, and never seemed to think about what came after.
