[61] They become close friends not long after, when Karna and Arjuna are at a weapons trial competition.

moral : if a great queen suffered from this violence, what happen to ordinary humans? 8.5 men lusting after 1 woman & consorting with her later, was also dharma ?

According to Das, all of the epic's characters including Karna do good deeds, foul deeds, and they are "ineradicable mixture of good and evil". [92], Book 5 of the Mahabharata describes two meetings where Karna discovers information about his birth.

He was a wonderful human being gone totally bad because he invested in bitterness. Lord Krishna is at fault. there is also one point i would like to make here. Copyright © 2020 Contact Us, Privacy Policy, Vishnu Sahasranamam Stotra and its Benefits, Devshayani/Ashadi Ekadashi Katha and Date 2021, Karna has been called by many names such as Sutaputra, Radheya, Angaraja, Danveer, Suryaputra, Vasusena, Vrisha, and Vijayadhari. it will be a matter of discussion now. Each used some of their prominent weapons on the other. On the one hand he pledged loyalty to Duryodhana and it was his duty to defeat the Pandavas which he could have done by defeating and killing them, he refused to do so because of his promise to Kunti. He refuses to wear "Emperor's New Clothes", states Adarkar, and thus "being revealed as a fraud" and ever-adapting to new psychological garb.

[4][7] He was appointed the king of Anga (Bengal)[8] by Duryodhana. He never questions the ethics of his lifelong friend Duryodhana rather conspires and abets in Duryodhana's quest for power through the abuse of his opponents. Only arrogant fools support worst administration. Lord Krishna, as we know is Arjun’s Charioteer (Carriage’s driver) drives it by his full strength up to several feet on the ground. Arjuna and his brothers, however, are disguised as mendicant Brahmins. [96][97] Similarly, it is from the love and affection and "not scripture" that he knows Adhiratha to be his real father. [100] It is too late. This karma concept is trash. Nothing relates to nothing. He made a promise to Duryodhana and he will keep it.

And in a nutshell what I understand is 'Society might be unfair to you, just hold on and give them back a smile'. Well Arjuna did kill so many Nagas at khandiva in cold blood ,it's the only reason ashwasena entered Karna's quiver and nagas weren't just animals because Arjuna even married one ,Arunachala literally slit Ashwasena's mother in 2 parts and when the kid ashwasena was fleeing he was cursed to never achieve glory ! He is the strongest underdog. In Book 1, again in the context of Karna, Duryodhana remarks, "the origins of heroes and rivers are indeed difficult to understand". How can someone be moulded into such immense protective emotional casing unless he is born in a dark cold world, away from the light and warmth of true love? He did go to fight, for all the wrong reasons and that is clear to anyone who reads the Mahabharat. [46] Karna then objects.

Bhima, one of the Pandavas, ridicules him for his low status and calls him dog-like.

Karna dies.

It is unclear whether he married them before or after Draupadi's swayamvar. Kunti is your mother and your father is Surya.” Suddenly, Karna broke down. [152] To the victim Draupadi, it was a violence she would never forget nor live with, and Karna's personal regrets did not balance out her sexual humiliation in public. The boy Karna came to be known for his solitary habits, hard work, pious yoga before Surya every day, compassion and eager generosity to help anyone in need particularly Brahmins, his gift of speech, and for the pursuit of excellence in whatever he did. [157][158] He does the right thing (dharma) yet is cruel and mean (adharma). He is also known as dana veera and extraordinary bow and arrow man. Each any every correcter and incidents are dramatically interrelated to each other and interesting to read such as novels and films.

By Worshiping idols what harm is caused to humans, non-hindus & humanity? “Why are you doing this to yourself? Because Kunti belonged to a king family and was later became a queen of Hastinapur. He fought for Duryodhana in the Kurukshetra War.

Maybe he actually was in reality, but as far as society was concerned, he wanted to be somebody he was not. [19] In another context, it refers to a spondee in Sanskrit prosody. [151] Karna is cruel in some situations such as against Draupadi, a behavior he himself regrets in the pages of the Mahabharata. It is not "blood ties" that matter, but how someone treats you over a period of time that does. Why didn't he? Had he been strong, he could have resisted and said let's have a fair game and it's okay if Karna wins! [133][134] These questions arise with the circumstances related to his birth and through his death. Karna, and many Rajput ballads, are clearly tragedies in the Aristotlean and Elizabethan sense, states Ingalls. The right and wrong judgement stopped me from seeing what was the real truth. Then word like racism etc has no significance.

Actually as per MK Ganguly also karna was far superior ,accepted karna lost in Virat war but the texts clearly says Arjuna had the help of Vishwakarma's illusions ,in Draupadi swayamvara it was inconclusive as karna retreated not out of Arjuna overpowering him but because he feared the wrath of Brahmins and mainly because he knew it was wrong ,at the Gandharva karna did retreat but he came back at the late hours and Bori and even KMG says karna was drinking something and was so probably intoxicated ,this is why he vowed to never drink wine after his Digvijaya and 13 face offs you say of is not mentioned in any MB so calling Arjuna far superior is wrong !

[46] They use this false identity in exile because Duryodhana had attempted to kill them using various schemes, including burning the lacquer house – custom built for the Pandavas by Duryodhana – along with the forest while they were sleeping.
