|| Atha Shri Krishna Katha || - My Journey - Page 13

Hmmmm, idk. Those scenes were pretty different. I thought the SK one was wrapped up pretty quick and promptly, whereas in JSK they went in too much detail and took too long. But I really liked the part with Saraswati mata, who is also Vak devi, making Vasudev act wisely.

@Lola,

Yes, I get what you mean. But really, all of this happening in the first place was because of Krishna leela. It was a part of a bigger plan and so God did control it. I really liked that they included Saraswati Mata in it. But beyond that I didn't watch much of JSK. The Janmashtami episode, a few episodes of Dhriti here and there and all of the episodes of Meghan.

Promised Lola I'd join you all in here so...I'm here!! 😆 So far I've only read up to Janu's December 16th entry because I'm now watching those epis myself. I'm watching the serial for the first time in its entirety (or at least I'm planning to!😆) so didn't want to go ahead of myself and ruin the experience. 😳

I'm watching the vids that some very kind soul uploaded onto dailymotion (I'm so grateful to that person! 🤗)...I agree that the quality is not great but it's not all that bad. I've gotten used to it!

I have just finished watching part 46 & 47, which like Janu described in her post, is where Vasudevji & Devaki Ma are put into jail again and Gargacharya is summoned to the palace only to be insulted by Kans!

The things that stood out for me most in those epis were the Jabse Hua Re song, I love the song, esp. the following lines "ek sukh ke peeche mujhe har dukh hai swikar" and Vasudevji's expression throughout that whole scene! ❤️

Can't help listening to the song again and again! 😳 (Thank you to Lola for uploading the full song! 🤗)

I also love Devaki Ma & Vasudevji's interaction in the kaaragaar and how she's busy lamenting her fate while he's trying to tell her such important news! 😆 I totally love the part where she faints saying "Krishna, Krishna" after learning the truth! Great acting there! 👏

When Gargacharya is summoned to the mahal, I was like...what is Kans up to now?And when he reached the palace and was made to wait but did do patiently anyways, that scene was nicee...in the end I love how Gargacharya chastises Kans and he couldn't even say a word back! It was so funny! 🤣 One thing I've notice is that Kans is always surrounded by very knowledgeable/intelligent people...I mean in terms of political strategies and warfare n stuff like that. Just goes to show that knowledge is not everything, it only benefits you when it's put to good use. 😉

Well that's about it for now! I'm planning to watch parts 48-50 later today, so I'll be back! 😃 And Janu, I'll def. continue to read your diary entries and comment as I progress! 😛

Yayyyyyy welcome aboard Vedo 🤗 And double yayyyy, you're at my favorite part!!! First off great idea of not reading ahead, keeps the suspense going 😉😆

And I also loveeee their performances in that return to prison scene, very very natural and realistic and absorbing 👏 Most welcome for the upload, Jabse Hua Re has one of the sweetest melodies I've ever heard and the love and devotion-filled expressions make it even sweeter 😍 It's prob one of my top 5 most frequently heard songs from the show, I really wish there was an instrumental of it too that would be so lovely!!! And the ending of their little breaking news scene is just wonderful, has a very angelic feel to it cuz of the chorus in the background... love it love it love it 😍

And very very good point regarding the knowledge that Kans had access to in various fields, we see that particularly with the smarty Chitrasen dude he sends to invite Gargacharya... if you remember back to the episode with Kans's wedding, it's this same guy who skillfully persuaded Ugrasen and his rightfully wary ministers that an alliance with Jarasandh would be a good thing. Had Kans chosen the right direction for them to use their talents in, things could have been so different.

As far as Garg himself, he is a treasury of wisdom in every scene he's featured in... really enjoy watching him onscreen because of that confidence and grace and moreover the lessons that he conveys. Gotta love his wit that leaves Kans speechless and the way they emphasize the sound of his footsteps haunting him the as he leaves 😆

This is probably a good time to remind everyone about the existence of this thread - whoever's watching SK and would like to discuss the various lessons that Maharishi Garg teaches throughout the series, please join us here: https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/indian-mythology/1535147/bhakti-lessons-from-maharishigarg-rs-shrikrishna
We are currently on the one where he tells the reason of Balram's transfer to Rohini's womb, and hit on two interesting topics: the predictability of a divine incarnation's life (by the likes of Valmiki and Garg), and the purpose of Balram's incarnation given his sometimes counterproductive behavior during Mahabharat. However you may join in discussing any scene of his as they are all rich with discussion material.

Now that my advertisement's 30 seconds are up 😆 Thank you soooo much for joining us Vedo 🤗 That was an awesome and very enjoyable first entry, looking forward to more and more!!! You can even backtrack and share any noteworthy observations/opinions from the previous episodes, if you thought there were any... can't wait

Heyy guys! Unfortunately I"m not able to watch the serial with Janu because of school work but I hope to catch up soon :/ Janu, your updates help with the parts I miss!

Guys, we're officially finished with the Swapnil epis in the DVDs!🥺 He did amazingly well in the Kalyavan episode, the way he made Kalyavan chase him all over Mathura and them laughingly took him into the cave....will miss him!😭
