How Bhima killed Jarasandha with Krishna help Namaste friends, how are your doing today? Bhagavan Sri Krishna blessings to you and your family! Bhagavan Sri Krishna told Yudhishtira that Bhimasena is the most appropriate person to lead the Rajasuya Yagna. "Jarasandha will oppose this yagna. He has to be first killed. Bhima should be departed to kill him" said Bhagavan Sri Krishna. Bhima readily agrees to proceed in the matter. Bhagavan Sri Krishna proposed that he himself accompanied by Bhima and Arjuna will go to kill Jarasandha. Jarasandha will consider Arjuna as inferior to him, he is afraid of me (Bhagavan Sri Krishna), therefore he will choose to fight with Bhima only and will be killed by him (Bhima). Bhagavan Sri Krishna further told Yudhishtira that, he himself did not kill Jarasandha when he attacked Mathura only to provide an oppurtunity to a Vishnubhakta (in this case to Bhima) to fight against a Shivabhakta (in this case Jarasandha) and reveal the superiority of Vishnu-bhakta. This removed the fear...
