How Did Krishna Die in the Mahabharata? | The End of an Avatar

Fall asleep to the calm, in-depth story of Krishna's death from the Mahabharata.

How does a god die? Not in battle. Not surrounded by armies or glory. But alone in a forest, struck by a hunter's arrow meant for a deer. The story of Krishna's death is one of the most profound and unexpected endings in all of Hindu mythology—a tale of cosmic karma, a curse that waited thirty-six years, and the quiet acceptance of a divine being who knew exactly how his story would end.

In this documentary-style exploration, we cover:

• Gandhari's curse after Kurukshetra and the thirty-six year countdown
• The gradual decay of Dwaraka and the Yadavas' moral decline
