1 Yes, Lord Vasudeva took it upon Himself to fulfill earlier arrangements with the sage who slept in the cave where Ranacora ran, who was granted a boon after many years of fighting the demons on behalf of the demigods, and awoke thusly to burn Paundraka to ashes. As it turns out, Krsna got more publicity and fame in this way tha if he had simply won another battle out of many.
2. In the modern age, few bother to glorify and assist the brahmanas. They are enamorred of false prestiges and vyasasanas, no matter if the person sitting is a rascal. As a brahmana, i can say without any doubt that if the world gave me a millions dollars, i would have any number of persons and causes to distribute it to. But i do not need that money to build myself a castle and enslave the peasants. If the brahamanas are disrespected as is currently the case in Iskcon, then things will continue to be hellish.
3. Sri Krsna has extended free will to us; He does not force His truth upon us. However, we can ask His kind assistance, then He may choose to provide what is required. Prayer is an expression of that mood.
