Annihilation of the Yadu Dynasty...

Verse 1.13.12-13 (Srinivas Acharya Pr):

* Vidhura was received by the Pandavas nicely and then they were asking him about his travels.
* SP comments here that: Distress comes upon us in its own way by the laws of nature.
* Eg: Pandavas, Prahalad Maharaj etc, wonderful devotees were also in so many problems. But now that is standing as a wonderful example of how we can always depend on the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
* Another such e.g. is Mahatma Vidhura. Full life, he was serving the Pandavas and Kauravas as their well-wisher.
* He came back only to take back his elder brother Yudhistira, so that he could leave his attachment to the material opulence (so was not following his varnashrama dharma).
* And also Vidhura could not stand to see the Pandavas distressed at any time. Therefore he did not disclose this unpalatable and unbearable incident of the Yadu dynasty being annihilated.
* Sri CM said: na dhanam, na janam, na sundarim... these are especially to be avoided if one has to follow the path of self-realization.
