Lord Krishna married none except Rukmini!? - Page 2

Two incidents one from Bhagavad Gita emphasizes that Krishna wants men to follow his actions.He acts to set examples and standards to humans and in Mahabharat he proves that he is truthful and his actions are of truth.

BG-Chapter 3

Krishna said without attachment, do thou always perform action as a matter of duty; for, by working without attachment, one reaches the Supreme.

Therefore, go on efficiently doing your duty without attachment. Doing work without attachment man attains the Supreme.

It is through action ( without attachment ) alone that Janak' and other wise men reached perfection. Having an eye to maintenance of world order too you should take to action.

For whatever a great man does, that very thing other men also do; whatever standards he sets up, the generality of men follow the same.

Arjuna, there is nothing in all the three worlds for Me to do, nor is there anything worth attaining unattained by Me, yet I continue to work.

Should I not engage in action, scrupulously at any time, great harm will come to the world; for, Arjuna, men follow My way in all matters.

If I cease to act, these worlds will perish; nay, I should prove to be the cause of confusion, and of the destruction of these people.

Mahabharat

Shri Krishna to Uttara - Then he of pure soul, said these words in the hearing of the whole universe,--'O Uttara, I never utter an untruth. My words will prove true. I shall revive this child in the presence of all creatures. Never before have I uttered an untruth even in jest. Never have I turned back from battle. (By the merit of those acts) let this child revive! As righteousness is dear to me, as Brahmanas are specially dear to me, (by the merit of that disposition of mine) let Abhimanyu's son, who is born dead, revive! Never hath a misunderstanding arisen between me and my friend Vijaya. Let this dead child revive by that truth! As truth and righteousness are always established in me, let this dead child of Abhimanyu revive (by the merit of these)! As Kansa and Kesi have been righteously slain by me, let this child revive today by that truth!' After these words were uttered by Vasudeva, that child, O foremost one of Bharata's race, became animate and began gradually to move, O monarch.'
