Lord Krishna Opened His Third Eye Twice In Mahabharata And This Is What Happened
Lord Krishna opened his third eye twice in the Mahabharata: to save Arjun from Karna's weapon and to protect the unborn heir Parikshit from Ashwatthama's Brahmastra. For most devotees, Lord Krishna is remembered as the flute-playing divine guide, the strategist of Kurukshetra, and the eternal protector of dharma. But few know that Krishna, like Lord Shiva, is also believed to have possessed a third eye, the 'Divya Netra', a source of immeasurable cosmic power. In most traditions, Krishna kept this eye closed, for its energy was said to be so intense it could shake the foundations of the universe. Yet in the Mahabharata, ancient lore and certain Bhagavata traditions tell of two extraordinary moments when Krishna opened his third eye, not to display power but to save the Pandavas lineage from annihilation. The Karna Parva of the Mahabharata narrates a tense scene on the battlefield. Arjun, locked in a fierce duel with Karna, faced a weapon of unmatched power, the Vasavi Shakti – gifted to Karna by Indra himself. Krishna, acting as Arjun's charioteer, knew that this single strike could pierce through any defence and end Arjun's life in an instant. At the critical moment, Krishna is said to have opened his third eye. Witnesses described a blinding burst of light erupting from his forehead, stunning the warriors on both sides. The sudden radiance broke Karna's focus for just a heartbeat, long enough for Arjun to seize the moment and launch his decisive counterattack. Karna fell, and with him, the threat of the weapon's use on Arjun vanished. Scholars and storytellers note that in this moment, Krishna did not merely intervene; he revealed a glimpse of his Vishnu form. Many warriors, including Arjun, are said to have been left in awe, understanding fully that their charioteer was none other than the Supreme Being himself. Second Time: Protecting The Unborn Heir From Ashwatthama's Brahmastra The war was over, but danger had not passed. In the grim hours after the infamous Night Massacre (Sauptika Parva), Ashwatthama, consumed by vengeance, infiltrated the Pandava camp, killing Draupadi's sons in their sleep. Later, when confronted, he unleashed the ultimate weapon, the Brahmastra, targeting the unborn child of Abhimanyu's widow, Uttara. That child, later named Parikshit, was the last surviving heir of the Pandava bloodline. His death would have meant the end of the dynasty. At that instant, Krishna again opened his third eye. The earth is said to have trembled under the surge of divine energy. The cosmic light neutralised the Brahmastra before it could strike, saving both mother and child. Ashwatthama, overwhelmed, surrendered. He handed over his forehead jewel to Krishna and departed, cursed to roam the earth for eternity without salvation. Why Krishna's Third Eye Remained Closed According to spiritual traditions, Lord Krishna's third eye was not meant for frequent use. It was believed to combine the supreme knowledge and destructive potential of Shiva's eye with the divine power of Vishnu's Sudarshan Chakra. Keeping it closed was an act of mercy, an open third eye could dissolve creation itself in an instant. In teaching restraint, Krishna demonstrated that true power lies in control, not display. His rare decision to open the third eye came only when cosmic balance was at stake. The third eye is a recurring symbol across Hindu lore. Lord Shiva opened his in anger to incinerate Kamadeva, to control the effects of the deadly Halahal poison after Samudra Manthan, and to defeat the demon Andhakasura by preventing his blood from spawning new monsters. Goddess Durga and Kali are also sometimes depicted with a third eye, representing their unyielding force against evil. tags : janmashtami lord krishna Third Eye view comments Location : New Delhi, India, India First Published: August 16, 2025, 14:45 IST News astrology Lord Krishna Opened His Third Eye Twice In Mahabharata And This Is What Happened Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

How Janmashtami Inspires Mindfulness and Inner Peace
Krishna Janmashtami is more than a celebration of the birth of Lord Krishna — it's an invitation to embody his timeless wisdom. Rooted in the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, the festival offers guidance for living with strength, clarity, and compassion. This year, let Janmashtami inspire mindfulness and inner peace in the midst of life's ever-changing currents The world never stops even for a second for any individual. The Earth will not tilt for our pleasure; the seasons will change, clouds will congregate to culminate into a raging storm, and so shall the issues rise up to confront us, aided by whom we feel prepared or not. This is existence. To forge our way through in all of this, we must first build ourselves up — sturdy in body, clear of mind, and resolute in spirit. This Janmashtami, the thunderous voice of Shrimad Bhagavad Gita resonates like a conch in the battlefields — to live with strength, truth, and devotion unshaken to the immortal teachings laid down by Lord Krishna. 1. Stand Firm in Your Dharma Dharma is the strong pillar upon which life finds balance. It is like an invisible support without which we fall prey to fear, complacency, or compromise. Krishna did not advise Arjuna to do the wrong thing and walk away from battle; He told him to stand, take up his bow, and fight for what was right. Dharma requires courage and loyalty to truth-it may put our resolve to test-but if we stand firm on it, no storm will shift us from it, and no darkness will overshadow us. 2. Strengthen the Inner Before the Outer An undisciplined mind holding a weapon is actually a danger to the one holding it. The one thing he had to do first was to soothe Arjuna's mind before instructing him on fighting. The first battlefield is within. One must train one's thoughts, regulate one's emotions, and master one's breath. The discipline exercised daily sharpens the intellect like a whetstone sharpening the blade. The one who has dealt with the inner world will stand without fear before the outer. 3. Performing an Action Free of Any Attachment His actions being fully dedicated and free from attachment to results, as taught in the Gita. Attachment binds one's heart and stops any movement forward. If the action is done on the basis of duty, it shall possess pure and unshakable force. Acting for the sake of reward fosters hesitation and doubt. Freedom from expectation crowns one with clarity, swiftness, and genuine conquest. 4. Peace in Action Peace is not found by withdrawing from life; rather, it is found by standing amidst its movement with one's heart kept steady. During the war with the Kauravas, not even the thunderous battle could disturb the peaceful voice of Krishna. Clarity, a sense of purpose, and self-mastery That is the peace which will guide every step, even in adversity. 5. The Power with Purpose Strength becomes sacred that serves dharma and uplifts others and reparative peace. The life of Krishna exemplifies the use of every skill and resource for the welfare of all beings. When strength walks with truth, it is upheld by the hand of the Divine. Closing Reflection Janmashtami would not want us to wait for life to become easier; instead, it asks us to grow stronger. To stand on dharma, to master the mind, to act without attachment, to keep calm in adversity, and to wield one's power for good: this is the way of Krishna, the way of victory within.
