story of shisupala

 Shishupala was the son who was the brother of a Yadava king, who was the brother of Vasudeva, Kunti and Nanda. Though Shishupala was a demon, he was related to  Krishna as his cousin . Shishupala  was born with 4 hands and 3 eyes, a voice announced saying “Oh king and queen do not fear . When this child is placed on someone ‘s lap, his extra eyes and arms would disappear. That one would be his slayer”. The king put his son  on the laps of different kings and sages but his extra eyes and arms did not disappear . Finally when Krishna came to the palace . The queen put the child on Krishna ‘s  lap  and then the eyes and arms of the child disappeared  . The queen got scared and begged Krishna for a boon that he would spare his child for 100 mistakes in his whole life time. Krishna agreed and granted her the wish. Shishupala  became a cruel demon and did many things that are against dharma and Krishna . His end came at the Rajasuya yajna. When Yudhistara chose Krishna to be worshipped before the rituals . Shishupala objected against this and started talking ill about Krishna . Many kings started attacking Shishupala because of his talks towards Krishna . But Krishna calmed all of them down as he promised Shishupala’s mother to spare  him for 100 mistakes , But when Shishupala lunged at him  which was his 101 mistake , Krishna took out his Sudarshan discuss and cut of his head .

 Have you tried dropping a steel bolt in a bucket of water ? If no, so here is what happens. The moment the bolt hits the surface of the water, it begins to sink. Well then in that case how do steel ships that are far larger than a little bolt stay afloat on the sea? This depends on the density on the object in the water. should the density of the object be more than that of water, it is bound to sink. However if the density of the object be lesser than that of water, the object will stay afloat. in the case of  a ship, the density of the vessel is lesser than the density of the water. while the opposite is true in the case of a bolt. Now you know the secret of the sinking  bolt and floating ship.
