Ans. well i dont know the authenticity of the above explaination... but he did marry 16108 wives... and out of that 16100 we impresioned by a demon... so lord free them and of course to give them social atatus as well as all the 16100 women were great exalted personalities who had asked lord rama that they wanted to play as his close associates so he fulfilled their wishes by marring them..

Ans. Rupz according a human body has 16108 blood vanes (which are called nadis). The 16108 wives represents that Krishna had control over them that means Krishan had control over all his body (Jitendriya) and which is quality of Purnavataar.. The bhagavate in Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevay means the person who has conqured all his all his body and organs..

Ans. The story of 16108 wives.

Shri Krishna heard about a King Narakasura in far east who held many women in captivity and used them for his pleasure.
Krishna went there and defeated the Asura and released all of those 16108 women.

When these women reached their homes, they were not accepted and were treated as apavitra. When Krishna heard about this, he told the local artist to make 16108 mangalsutras each having one Krishnamani. He told them they can come to stay in Dwarika or stay anywhere. If anyone asks who they are, show the mangalsutra and tell that they were wives of Dwarkadheesh.

However all of them decided to go to Dwarika. So Krishna rehabilitated them to Dwarika and gave them the status of Krishna-patni.

Ans. One answer should be good enough... "Do not try to justify or criticise the act of God". His thinking, his acts are beyond our comprehension. As a child(say when you were 2-3 yrs old) you did what your mother asked you to do, did you ever question her acts? Have the same kind of faith, no mortal is good enough to judge Krishna.

Ans. Who do you Lord Krsna and his wives are? Lord Krsna is the Param Pathi of all the jeevas. And all of his wives are none other than his parts and parcels. It means we all belong to him.Unfortunately we have fallen down to this material world , and lord Krsna is helping us by spreading his energy everywhere, every breath that we are inhaling is him only . This entire jagat is filled with him only.He is everywhere an dhe is present within our hearts also.
He loves us a lot and we too love him a lot , but since we have fallen down here we are lost and have forgotten our love towards him.
Coming to his wives ,they are all blessed by our lord krsna, because they were all his devotees. They had done many penances after falling down into this material world. And since they had such intense pure bhakti towards him, he married them and gave them the position of being his dharam patni.
This is how our Lord Krsna is.
