Astha: Kanha did manipulate every one but not even God is spared when his means are a little wrong. He was cursed by Gandhari during the war that like his sons and kins have died killing each other, the same will happen with his 'vansh' and his whole kingdom will be destroyed. And, it did happen.

The Vanshs of Kanha died slitting each other for property and the whole dwarka kingdom submerged into water.

Yes, true. But, why would God do anything by wrong means? His intelligence is way beyond our understanding right? Still couldn't find a way that would not be through manipulation?

I'm sorry, to me this sounds really contrived. I think he was a really influential person in that time. But, I have difficulty believing the avatar story.

Machiavelli rule of statesmen-ship states "means do not matter as long as the end is good".
For the establishment of 'dharma', it is/was necessary that 'adharma' had to end.

If you see, even after the 'samundra manthan' between the Asuras and Devs, it was Asuras who won 'amrtit'. But, ashras becoming omnipotent was the progression of adharma. Therefore, even the manipulation was used by Lord Vishnu and the devs got amrit.

Lord Rama was not abke to Kill King Bali so he cheated and stabbed him in the back. This was wrong and he promosed Bali like he has killed him when he wasnt looking, the same way in his next avatar he will be milled by reincarnation of Bali in the same way. ( thats how Lord Krishna dies)

So, dharma ki sansthapna k liye ye sab zaryri hai.

Karna!

^ Yeah I've heard all these stories. Machiavelli was a human. We're talking about gods, if they are no different from normal human beings then why worship them? A person lying for someone's benefit is still a liar. At least he isn't perfect. But God is supposed to be perfect.

Karna!

Followed by Krishna even though he's supremely cunning.

Does anyone see the parallels among

Karna, Severus Shape and on some level Jon Snow?

Also Krishna Dumbledore and Tyrion?

I do not follow GoT but i got the HP reference.

I think Karna was a mixture of Severus and Siruis Black.
And, yes Kanha and Dumbledore have many similar shades to their character.

Gods didn't lie, their human avatars did. :)

These stories and this twisted logic is the reason why I'm sceptical. It's too conveniently changed to fit the situation.

Its difficult to understand krishna. U re free to NOT worship him. But anyways krishna was born in dwapar yug, when kaliyug was just about to arrive, and he could not have achieved what he wanted by just being a god and doing miracles all the time and he was born as a human being, its obvious he wont be perfect, but still he was perfect. He was a complete man! If we take the present scenario suppose some person is able to achieve the impossible suppose by establishing peace, finishing terrorism etc., would that person be less than a god? Becoz that impossible for anyone to do right now. Maybe krishna was a normal human being, whose actions made him a GOD. U know a man who can run away from his enemy, inorder to get him killed and save his people, and be termed as a ranchodh, Only krishna could do it. And if we think about that time, many asurs and kshatriyas had boons, which made it impossible to defeat them. So they had to follow a tedha raasta to tackle them.
