Jahnava Nitai Das Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 From BV Tirtha Swamiji: Barbarik was the son Ghatatakocha who is the son of Bhima. Hirimba was his grandmother. Barbarik was the greatest fighter in the world. In the Mahabharata, at the beginning of the battle of Kuruksetra, Barbarik came to see the Pandavas and Sri Krsna. He told them, “Please take me on your side and you will not have to fight this battle. I will kill everybody. There will be no need for this war. I can finish the battle in one minute.” Sri Krsna said, “You should show me how you will do it.” Barbarik then took a piece of grass and, reciting a mantra over it, threw it into the air. At that moment everyone's chest was struck with a red mark. All the Kauravas and the Pandavas, even Sri Krsna, had this red mark on their chest. Krsna was very amazed to see this. At once he took his Sudharshan cakra and cut off Barbarik’s head. Barbarik's head spoke, asking, “Why are you cutting me this way?” Sri Krsna said, “You have the greatest power of any warrior here. You will not kill anyone here. Everything will be finished too quickly. This is not really a battle but an utter annihilation. We do not need you to kill them” Krsna then asked him, “What do you want?” Barbarik said, “I want to see this Kuruksetra battle take place.” Then Sri Krsna placed his still living head on the top of a nearby hill where he could see the whole field. When the Mahabharata battle was finished Arjuna and Bhima were arguing amongst themselves who was the greatest fighter. Each was claiming himself as the greatest. Then Sri Krsna told them, “Oh Bhima and Arjuna, let us go to Barbarik and ask him. He has witnessed this entire battle and will tell who is the greatest fighter.” When they reached him they asked, “Oh Barabarik, who was the greatest fighter in this battle? Who killed all the enemies?” Barbarik replied, “Sri Krsna is the greatest fighter, he killed everyone. He didn’t take any weapon but he killed everyone. He is very clever." If you read the Mahabharata you will find this story. Your servant, Tridandiswami Bhaktivedanta Tirtha Maharaja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasanudas Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 Sounds like Kalki concealed to me. Maybe that's where He got his future ideas for KaliYuga from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[This message has been edited by Maitreya (edited 06-01-2001).] Is that the same tall solid Parivrackacarya Swami with African descent took Sanyas from Srila Sridhara Maharaj. I liked his soft nature very much. If so, do you know where he might be now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarun Posted April 27, 2002 Report Share Posted April 27, 2002 Barbarik's pastimes can also be found in Christian's New Testament. Jesus was crucified in his place. Anthony Quinn starred. My spelling never fails me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Dear Sir, I have some confusion regarding history of Baba Shyamji. You have mentioned Shyamji/Barbarik is the son of Ghatotkach but I have read Shyam Jyoti Paath, where has mentioned baba shyamji/ barbarik is the son of Bhim and Ahilyadevi. Please clear to me who is the father & mother of Barbarik. Regards. LK Agarwal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
