What if Krishna didn’t escape karma — but fell because of it?
Key terms: Krishna, Jainism, Karma, Sallekhana, Ahimsa, Vasudeva, Moksha, Chandragupta Maurya
In this powerful second part of our Jainism series, we enter the mirror — one that holds Krishna’s image… and shatters it.
🔹 In Jain cosmology, Krishna is not the divine liberator, but the final Vasudeva — heroic, wise, and yet karmically bound.
🔹 His brother Balarama attains moksha — Krishna does not.
🔹 Through war, counsel, charm, and action, Krishna gathers karma like dust — and falls.
From Sallekhana (death by fasting) to the radical nudity of Digambar monks, this episode challenges how we define strength, power, and spiritual success.
