Question – 56
Strange nimitta-s were
seen in Hastinapura when Krishna travelled from Upaplavya to Hastinapura. What
do those nimitta-s convey?
Answer:
First of all, the
nimitta-s appeared to be natural occurrences but sudden and abnormal. Strangely
none of them were observed in the places travelled by Krishna. The only
comparable sighting on the way of Krishna was the shower of lotuses and
fragrant flowers, that could be possible by the blow of strong winds lifting
water-bound flowers. So, some unusual windiness had occurred, in certain
pockets. Thunderous roars from the cloudless sky heard all around, continuous
rains in the absence of clouds noticed somewhere behind, atmosphere filled with
dust causing all-round haze, the trembling of the earth, the sudden change in
the direction of the river-flows and water from the wells and the vessels
spilling out can occur simultaneously in the event of a cosmic impact – of an
object or fragments of an object colliding with the earth.
One may be tempted
to attribute these sightings to an earthquake, but rains in the absence of
clouds and loud roars in the sky indicate that something fell from the sky which
caused the earth to tremble and water from water bodies to spill out. The
sightings reported only around Hastinapura and not on the way of Krishna also lends
credence to the theory that a meteor or a fragment of an asteroid had hit Hastinapura
or nearby. The odd report of seven rivers changing direction and a south
westerly wind causing havoc in the city are needed to be studied in depth.
