P - Pariksit Punished (16-19)

When Maharaja Pariksit was cursed by the brahmana boy, Srngi, it was a transcendental ‘slap’ orchestrated by the will of providence. Though a pure devotee, Maharaja Pariksit was nevertheless placed in a situation where his surrender and devotion became shiningly evident to all. Following in the footsteps of the great King, every individual should learn the art of unhesitatingly embracing the inconceivable plans of Krishna, which sometimes come as quite a shock. Maharaja Pariksit was handed the notice of seven days to live, but our time may be even shorter.
