@Jaya what a beautiful post. I actually didn't notice that line and you have summed it up quite well. Yes Kaikeyi thought her plans were perfect. But here is where Mandavi's point comes in. Ask Bharat. She thought Bharat will accept what she has done for him. This also goes to show you cant take decision for someone else. It will backfire.
Now coming to Kamsa. We need to understand Krishna was born with Maya. He knew how the world moved.
So what do we get. Devaki's 8th son will kill Kamsa. It is a prophecy. We need to note 8th child not first or second.
First and foremost will Devaki have an 8th child. What all can change in that period. Second what is the probability the 8th child will be a boy.
Hearing the prophecy everyone decided Devaki will have 8th child and it will be a boy. So the mind decided that the prophecy is true.
Now you are trying to prevent the prophecy. As I said in the post on NLP. Brain don't accept negative command.
8th child has to be killed. Fine but why in the world you kill the first 6 borns idiot. If the first 6 borns were left Vasudev as per promise would have given the 8th child to Kamsa and got liberated with his 7 other children or in other way if Vasudev-Devaki were allowed to live happily post marriage with none of their kids touched, Devaki herself would have stopped her 8th born from killing her brother. Will a mother allow her child to kill his uncle who is loving towards them. No.
Vishnu knew if evil has to be eliminated, evil has to be felt in one's life. Kamsa was doing atrocities in the world. it didn't matter to Devaki or Vasudev. To ensure it mattered to them, to ensure they are affected they are shown a glimpse of what Kamsa is doing to the outer world. Killing of their 6 kids makes them to want to end Kamsa and give birth their 8th child as per prophecy.
Same is happening now. If our near and dear ones are doing atrocities to someone else we don't care. It is our father, mother, brother, sister etc.. but then that weapon has turn against us to see how much damage this so called relation of ours is doing to the outside society.
