Karttika meditations: Crows in Damodara-lila

[Guest guest]

Krishna felt grateful for the crows, since their ancestor Kakabhusandhi had

helped Him in his previous incarnation as Lord Ramacandra in his battle with

Ravana. Thus Krishna wanted to feed the crows as well, and naturally the

crows flocked into the room, since they also wanted to serve the Lord.

 

Would anyone like to contribute something in regards to Kakabhusandhi from

the Ramayana?
