Bheeshmas departure /niryana

Inspite of soothing and pacifying by Sree Krishna,Narada,and Vyasa,Yudhishtara could not come out of his sorrow.He was dejected,depressed and sorrowful and it covered entire pandava families.Every one was under the doubt that in that despicable state,Dharmaraju would not be able to rule the kingdom efficiently. One Sree Krishna told Yudhishtara like this. Bheeshma is lying on the bed of arrows since Kurukshethra war. He is chanting and praying me. He is shortly going to leave his body and go to heaven.He has vast knowledge of all the saasthras and well experienced over the years. with his demise all that knowledge is going to be a waste. so,Yudhishtara!why dont you go to him and learn that knowledge and know his experiences. You can gain knowledge from him.Every one went to Kurukshethra to see Bheeshma.Yudhishtara was weeping seeing that great soul in such a pitiable condition.He pleaded with him. Bheeshma pithaamaha!Myself and greed for the kingdom is the soul cause of your present position and death of Kouravas.Do I get any salvation for my heinous deeds?At least,can you excuse me for my actions? Bheeshma replied him in cool and composed tones.Yudhishtara!never be under the impression that you are the cause of my death.In fact I am happy to leave this body and this life.I gave word to my mother,Sathyavathi,that I would establish a good empire of Kuru rajya and today it has become true.I am happy for it.You need never be sorry for it.Kings should give top priority to peoples welfare.In fact,I am very sorry for all the hardships you have undergone during your life time. Your father passed away while you were all young.Your mother struggled to bring you up.hey Pandavas!all along you have been respecting Brahmins,righteousness,Sree hari and lived in good path.Inspite of your righteousness,you had to face many hardships.It is not justified but fate is like that. Raajata dharmajundu suraraajasuthundata dhanvi saathravo Dvejakamaina gaandivamu villata saaradhi sarvabhadra sam Yojakudaina chakriyata yugragadaadharudaina bheemuda Yyaajiki thodu vachchunata yaapada galgutidemi chodyamo? Easwarundu vishnudevvela nevvani nemi seyu burushudemi yerugu Nathani maayalaku mahaathmulu vidvaamsu,lanagi melaguchundurandhulaguchu// Is it not confusing and intriguing,while Yudhishtara himself is the king,Arjuna with Gaandeevam ,Bheeshma with his gada ,Sree Krishna with his chakram are all there along with him,but still they underwent so many problems.No one knows what the almighty has kept in store for each and every one.Greta souls and sages are dumb struck with the acts of the almighty.Only Sree Krishna knows everything. Yudhishtara!you know Sree Krishna as a friend and as a cousin.You utilised him as an ambassador and charioteer for your brother,Arjuna.But in actual fact ,Sree krishna is all pervading, omniscient and impartial.He is so great that no sooner did I think of him,he came to see me. to these words,Sree Krishna addressed Bheeshma.Oh Gaangeya!you have learnt so many saasthras from Bruhaspathi,Sukracharya. They should not die with you. You tell and explain all those rules,regulations,sciences,saasthras to your grand son,Yudhishtara.He is the only eligible person here.Bheeshma told and transferred all his knowledge to Yudhishtara in fifty four days.Dharmaraju learnt all dharmas from Bheeshma. As soon as uththarayana punya kalam started,Bheeshma looked at Sree Krishna and praised him eloquently.
