Mahabharat - A different point of view - Part 2

Ok continuing from previous post.

गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुर्गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः ।
गुरुरेव परं ब्रह्म तस्मै श्रीगुरवे नमः

We believe Guru is parallel to god. We do respect our teachers. But as per me, Dronacharya is the most partial Guru or teacher I have ever seen. He always gave preference to Arjuna rather than his own son Ashwatthama. Ashwatthama was a blessed child. Almost immortal. He had a diamond on his forehead. This diamond was destroyed by Krishna and cursed him to be immortal till the end of the world with lot of sufferings. (Will talk about this too in next post ;-) )

Dronacharya even refused Eklavya to teach archery. But Eklavya was very dedicated. He created statue of Dronacharya and started learning himself thinking his guru is with him. Due to his dedication, Lord shiva got impressed. He taught eklavya from the statue of Dronacharya.

But again, I hate this person. Eklavya after completing his studies, went to Dronacharya, to give him GuruDakshina. Dronacharya asked him to show his talent. He became afraid after watching his mastery in Archery. So he asked for his thumb of right hand. Eklavya without thinking anything, gave it to his Guru. Dronacharya thought he will not be able to do archery. But eklavya learnt to use his other two fingers while aiming the bow.

Now coming to Pandavas. Were pandavas so good to be always favoured. Even they had flaws in them. After Arjun winning the competition and getting married to Draupadi, All pandavas came home. Kunti was meditating at that moment. Yudhishtir says, Mom, see we have brought something. Kunti had a habit. Whenever Pandavas used to bring something, she use to say, distribute among all of you. This time her eyes were closed. As per her habit she said the same thing. First of all, it was yudhishtirs fault. Why did he used the word "something". why didn,t he say, Arjun has won competition and married to Draupadi. Please look at your daughter-in-law.

Again. Even in that era, it was against the religion for a lady to marry more than one Man. Why didn't they opposed this fact. They always used to follow mothers word. But that doesn't mean you will literally follow the wrong words or mistakes. Yes She mistakenly said those word. Their was no need to follow it. First Mistake by Yudhishthir and his brothers.

Duryodhan and shakuni invited to play Ludo. First mistake Pandavas did was to accept the invitation. Second, it was against the ethics of religion to play Ludo. Third, they didn't ask Krishna before going there. If Krishna would have played dice, History would be something different. Why blame Duryodhan and Dusshasana for the abuse. The main game planner was Shakuni. Very few people knew about Vikarna, who was one of the Kaurav brothers. He protested against the molestation of Draupadi.

To be continued..........

Incarnation - Believe It Or Not

In my last blog, we spoke about death. When we talk about death, we also talk about incarnation. We can also call it as rebirth. Is that really exist. Lots of research is been carried out by scientists to understand the phenomena. It is something like a soul changing the body when it gets damaged or old. Ultimate fate or destiny of a soul is always unknown. Some people say it rest back to the place (god) from where it came. Some say it never gets peace. It keeps on roaming and changing the bodies. As per Hindu culture, a soul takes 84 lacs rebirths in different forms including animals, birds, insects etc. And finally it gets human body. And then it goes back to its origin. I read some articles in which I got interesting stories about incarnation. We all must have watched movies regarding incarnation. How can we really describe this phenomena. Taking one example, their was a girl in india living in a very rural area. One find day she met with an accident. When she woke up, she st...

Immortality - A Boon or Curse ??

In every culture, we can get the description of immortals. They say that their are some people who are still alive. In Hindu culture  (India), their are seven immortals, still on the earth. Many of us think, immortality is a greatest boon. But every coin has two sides. Immortality leads to really painful events. The first and biggest tragedy for an immortal person is he has to watch his loved ones dying in front of him. The person will be alive for years and decades and centuries. He will be the witness of changes in his surroundings and ultimately the whole world. In my school days, I read a story of a King, who finds a river, whose water leads to immortality. He becomes happy that he will be immortal now.  He just steps in the water and now he will drink, someone calls him back "Wait Wait!!!!" . He looks out who's that. He finds a crow talking to him in human voice. He says, before drinking that water listen to me first. Tell me why you want to be immortal?? Ki...

Mind Control Over Body...

We have learnt in school days that mind completely controls our body. Each and every movement of our body is been controlled by brain. We cant even imagine every movement is been monitored by brain with the speed of nanoseconds. For example, If we see a red color object, the process behind identifying that object is quite large. When our eyes see a tomato, the signal passes through our retina to brain, then brain analyzes from his database that what object is this?? searches for its name, gets the answer that yeah! this is a red coloured tomato. The major role in this phenomena is played by light. The rays of light reflects from an object to our eyes, and the above phenomena takes place. The color is actually projection through the rays of light. As we all know in darkness, we wont be able to identify any object in front of us. The next example for mind control is that which took place when I was in school. All my friends in our school and teacher used to talk about a section in ...
