INTRODUCTION
Satyaki was a great Yadava warrior and an ardent devotee of Lord Krishna. He was the adopted son of Satyaka. Satyaki fought from the side of Pandavas in the Kurukshetra War. He went along with Lord Krishna for meeting Duryodhana during peace talks, in order to avoid the war between the Pandavas and Kauravas. He also had seen Lord Krishna’s Vishwaroopa form, when Lord Krishna takes the form, in order to show his supreme powers to Duryodhana. During the Kurukshetra war, Satyaki was the army chief of the Pandava army.
He was the disciple of Arjuna and learned the skills of handling weapons, and he also trained under drona, and got great knowledge in archery. During the war, Satyaki kills the great warrior Somadatta and also helped Bhima to kill the noble King Bahlika, a person who had followed the path of righteousness throughout his life.
Satyaki is a great Ayurvedic physician,and also recovered the injured Pandava warriors by giving proper medicines to them.
Due to the curse given by Mata Gandhari, the great Satyaki and the Yadavas were entirely destroyed at the end of the Dwaparayuga, and Lord Krishna and Lord Balarama were left their physical body and attained Vaikunta.
After the death of Satyaki, he went to the abode of Lord Indra, the Swarka Loka and still happily living there.
Let us worship the great warrior and the Sri Krishna Devotee Sri Satyaki and be blessed.
