On a lighter note, I think I've figured out the secret to why StarBharat showed the constant time freezes. (FYI witness an extremely rare moment in my IF history -- this is meant to be a non-sarcastic comment , totally serious 🥳)

The four people who got time freezes were: Arjun, Bhishma, Drona, and Karna.

The first three were devotees of Krishna (despite what StarBharat showed but it's a well known fact), and Karna impressed Krishna (I use the example of Karna moving the chariot back a few paces. To use a StarBharat example - I would suggest it would be the first Krishna-Karna scene at the swayamvar of Draupadi). I don't believe Karna was a devotee, but I believe he certainly had some degree of respect for Krishna

Now, what exactly can a time freeze refer too. If we look at it from the typical humorous POV, it just shows some crazy aspect in the show. StarKrishna, whenever he wants and rather randomly, freezes the world and then gives a lecture, which results in the student getting ideas of dying.

But if we look at the symbolism behind a time freeze, one would find references of lovers, or this intense relationship. For example, the rasa leela performed by Krishna and the Gopis in the groves of Vrindavan lasted for 1 night of Brahma. Now, 1 night of Brahma = 1 day of Brahma = 4,320,000,000 years on Earth / human years. Yet, while the Raas Leela is going on nothing changes. No one ages, no one dies, nothing happens. It's essentially like a time freeze, right? In stories, it's common to say that two lovers looked at each other and time stood still or something.

So going back to StarBharat. Perhaps they meant this or maybe this was just some random coincidence that I realized, but the time freeze that StarBharat shows, while oddly put, should reflect the loving relationship between Krishna and his devotees (in this case only, the NON-star characters ... I am thinking outside the StarDimensions). These two are locked in such transcendental love that whenever Krishna has some important message to share, the entire world just freezes for them as they accept the sweet words coming from Krishna's (NOT ⭐️Krishna) mouth. To phrase it better - the entire world just stops for them and they just leave everything behind 😊 Kinda like the Gopis of Vrindavan leaving behind everything when they hear Krishna playing his flute.

Now, StarBharat never showed that Bhishma and Drona were devotees before hand, hence why I am saying that the time freeze could very well be symbolically dedicated to the actual devotees of Krishna and not the StarCharacters.

Hope this makes some sense. Janmastami Utsav Ki Jai!

(Side Note: I honestly never paid attention to the dialogues mentioned in each GG. I'm just talking metaphorically and not taking into account whatever stuff StarKrishna said. The focus is purely the time freeze and our beloved Lord Krishna's teachings (not the teachings of StarKrishna))
