Yaadavi Kalaha

Today there is a new crisis in bhajapa of namma karnataka. Sriramulu has stated he will contest as an independent from Bellary rural constituency. The party is having lot of problems already with former cm just out of prison, MLAs not attending Advani yatra in Karnataka. Don't ask tumhe kya. I have enough problems of my own from sar se paanv tak. But my problems are not blog worthy.

So BJP is having yaadvi kalaha. But it is not the sole political party which has infighting. Congress in our state was not able to use the opportunity even when Yediyurappa had to resign, because of similar problem. 

But what is this yaadavi kalaha? When people fight among themselves, instead of enemies, it is called yaadavi kalaha. The word has an interesting origin.

Once sage Durvasa visited Dwaraka where yaadavas had created a city in the middle of sea . Yaadava is the dynasty to which Sri Krishna belonged. So Durvasa visits Dwaraka. Some mischievous people, bring a boy - I think Krishna's grandson Samba, dressed as a pregnant woman in front of the sage,  and ask him whether this lady will give birth to boy or girl. Durvasa will be enraged and tells them he will give birth to a vanake (a large and long wooden stick normally used for pounding grains) and that will cause the destruction of Yaadava kula. The boys are scared, the ask the forgiveness of the sage, but to no avail. The boy does really give birth to a vanake. Yaadavas cut that into pieces and grind it into a powder and throw it into the river. That will end of in the river and long grass will grow in that place. 

Some time later, all yaadavas go to that sea shore. They are intoxicated. Initially they start hitting each other will these grass blades. Then it will turn into big fights and all will be dead.
