[Padanamaskaram Swami, Why Abhimanyu was not get back to his life when Subhadra asked? He was brave and fought in chkraveiw was planned to kill him. Why he was not exceptionally deserving devotee like Parikshit? The comparison does not suit here. Are the miracles only 'the criteria' to bring back life, according to Lord, that's why Parikshit was brought to life? It is said that miracles are done by demons also. Dharma or justice might not have been properly done in Mythological history.-Anil]
Swami replied: Are you aware of all the previous births of Abhimanyu and Parikshit to decide that both are equally deserving devotees? Based on the present life, you cannot draw conclusions of the nature of these two souls. Moreover, the epic that gives the life histories of these two souls itself says that Abhimanyu was a human incarnation of a demon. Such remark was not given about Parikshit. We see only the external behaviour of a soul, that too, limited to the present life only and draw conclusions to analyze. The Lord is omniscient and knows the past, present and future of a soul. Based on our little and limited knowledge, we should not dare to criticize God. God being the father of all the souls, will not show any undue partiality towards any undeserving soul.
