Avinash Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 I read in Mahabharat that when Draupadi was calling out to Krishna, then Dharma, remaining hidden, covered Draupadi with clothes of various colours. Then, why do people say that it was Krishna who did this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amlesh Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Dharma is part of Krishna... But I don't know from whose transalation you've got these statements... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amlesh Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 OK thanks. There might be many causes why, for instance the past time of God is an eternal play, might differ between aeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princegoutham Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 When Sage Vyasa visits the family, he explains to Draupadi that her unique position as the wife of five brothers results from a certain incident in her previous birth. She had in that lifetime prayed to Lord Shiva to grant her a husband with five desired qualities. Lord Shiva, pleased with her devotion, tells her that it is very difficult to get a husband with all five qualities that she desired. But she sticks to her ground and asks for the same. Then Lord Shiva grants her wish saying that she would get the same in her next birth. Hence she gets married to five brothers each who represents a given quality.

After hearing about the Pandav's exile, Krishna goes to visit them. He advises the Pandavs to prepare for war and tells Arjun to do penance to obtain divine weapons. Arjun does penance and eventually pleases Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva bestows him with the divine Pasupata weapon and advises him to obtain other weapons in Indralok. Rishi Duruvasa visits Hastinapur. In an attempt to humiliate the Pandavs, Duryodhan requests that the sage visit tha Pandavs as well. Rishi Duruvasa promises to do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinash Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Thanks Prince Gaotham. But my question is something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhaktajan Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Ganguly's translation Can Any one post a photo of the actress Roopa Ganguly as Draupadi from BR Chopra's Mahabharata -- Ideally I would like a picture of her with hands folded --offering "pranams"? Please, please, pretty please? Roopa Ganguly was so opulently beautiful to look at--along with the personality of Draupadi's bossy 'attitude'.
