Krishna

Krishna ate a single grain of rice from the exhausted vessel, mystically satisfying Sage Durvasa and his disciples, saving the Pandavas from a curse.

All of Karnas curses converged on the battlefield - his chariot wheel stuck, he forgot mantras, and had already used his divine weapon.

Bhishma and Drona witnessed Draupadis disrobing but remained silent. Their inaction made them morally culpable.

Krishna resolved Arjunas impossible dilemma of having to kill his brother for insulting his bow, teaching that rigid vows require contextual wisdom.

When Draupadi completely surrendered to Krishna during her disrobing, he miraculously protected her with an endless sari. Complete surrender brings complete protection.

Poor brahmin Sudama visited his childhood friend Krishna in Dvaraka, bringing only humble beaten rice. Krishna received him with great love and washed his feet personally. Though Sudama never asked for anything, upon returning home he found his hut transformed into a palace.

King Muchukunda helped demigods fight demons so long that yugas passed. Given the boon of sleep (anyone disturbing him would burn), he slept in a cave. Krishna led warrior Kalayavana there to be burned. Upon waking to see Krishna, Muchukunda asked only for shelter at the Lord's feet.

The King of Udupi chose not to fight in the Kurukshetra war. Instead, he served food to both armies throughout the 18 days, maintaining complete neutrality while serving dharma through seva.

Bhishma enchanted five arrows to kill the five Pandavas. Duryodhana kept them safe. Krishna reminded Arjuna to collect a debt - Duryodhana once owed Arjuna a boon and had to surrender the arrows to honor his Kshatriya word.

A Mewari devotee whose devotion was so pure that Krishna personally accepted food from her hands daily. She is called the Mira of Marwar for her intense bhakti.

Satyaki was Arjunas devoted disciple from the Yadava clan. Through dedication, he became so skilled that warriors called him the second Arjuna. He fought valiantly for the Pandavas.

Before leaving the world, Krishna imparts his final teachings to his devoted friend Uddhava. These teachings on yoga, devotion, and liberation are considered as profound as the Bhagavad Gita itself.

Princess Rukmini writes a secret letter to Krishna asking him to rescue her from a forced marriage to Shishupala. Krishna arrives and abducts her in dramatic fashion, fulfilling her devotion.

A young Brahmin needed divine witness for his marriage promise. Krishna himself came as Gopal to testify on his devotees behalf, leading to the famous Sakshi Gopal temple in Odisha.

Banasuras daughter Usha falls in love with Krishnas grandson Aniruddha through a dream. When Banasura imprisons Aniruddha, Krishna and Shiva battle each other as Shiva protects his devotee Banasura.

Young Namdev offered food to a stone deity with such innocent faith that Krishna manifested and ate the offering. Childlike devotion moves God to respond directly.

A peacock in Gokul sang daily at Krishnas door out of devotion. Krishna blessed him saying his feather would forever adorn Krishnas crown - the origin of the mor pankh.

A physician in Vrindavan would write daily lists of his needs. Each day, Krishna would arrange exactly that much income. Complete surrender and trust in the divine providing daily sustenance.

Her in-laws sent Mirabai poison, claiming it was nectar. With complete faith in Krishna, she drank it and was unharmed - the poison transformed to nectar. Surrender to God provides divine protection.

When celibate Rupa Goswami refused to meet a woman, Mirabai replied: The only true man is Lord Krishna - all souls are His consorts. Spiritual understanding transcends gender.
