Guest guest Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 In last few posts a lot has been written about Karna. He has been praised like anything. In past I also had the same view that Karna was a great person but after reading some material I was forced to change my view point. And this change was not emotional but based on the facts of Mahabharat some of which I give below:- 1. Karna was adamant to learn Dhanurvidya (art of archery) by any means, right or wrong. Even he lied with his Guru (Parshuram). 2. Karna always supported the wrong deeds of Duryodhan from the very beginning – Giving poison to Bheem, burning Pandvas with Kunti alive in Lakshyagrah etc. 3. He was always defeated by Arjuna – in Draupdi swayamvar, in Virat yudh and finally in Kuruskshetra. 4. He was a selfish person who always tried to achieve personal goals and his friendship with Duryodhan was only because of this. 5. He hated Pandavas and fought with him through whole of his life only because he could not see Arjuna a better dhanurdhari (bow master) later. 6. He called Draupadi a Vaishya only because he could not marry such a beautiful girl. 7. Last but not least – He gave away his Kundal and Kavach in exchange of Indra Shakti and we give it a name of greatest donation? Please excuse me if I hurt somebody's feelings. But can these facts be ignored ? Jai Gurudev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even he lied with his Guru (Parshuram). answer Learning something is not bad , but since He had some bad karmas in the last birth so he could not get the right to learn the dhanurvidya . even today if someone is born as S.C Category does not mean he can not become IAS officer , He can not read vedas .still there are rules .why do you say today that animals should not be secrificed when it was tradition in old age to secrifice animals in yajna , > 2. Karna always supported the wrong deeds of Duryodhan from the > very beginning – Giving poison to Bheem, burning Pandvas with Kunti > alive in Lakshyagrah etc. answer Karna was following the dharma of a friend . i could not get any friend in my life who can follow the dharma of a friend while i am searching from my childhood .i am proud of Karna for his friendship > 3. He was always defeated by Arjuna – in Draupdi swayamvar, in > Virat yudh and finally in Kuruskshetra. answer He was not defeated by Vidhya but by social conduct and we are also defeated by social conduct . He was human and not the God. > 4. He was a selfish person who always tried to achieve personal > goals and his friendship with Duryodhan was only because of this. answer there is no harm in that kind of selfish , we also want to achieve the Kingdom of the God or want to get rid from the world of pain ,hence you think that we all are selfish > 5. He hated Pandavas and fought with him through whole of his > life only because he could not see Arjuna a better dhanurdhari (bow > master) later. answer how can you say He hated with Pandavas if so then why He said that i will not kill anybody except Arjuna even He got so many chances in the war to kill other pandavas , but He had not killed them > 6. He called Draupadi a Vaishya only because he could not marry > such a beautiful girl. answer and after that he repented on that for the whole life , even He said to the Lord Sri Krishna that i do not know how my tongue said like that , i could not understnad why it happened . i had no feeling to say like that > 7. Last but not least – He gave away his Kundal and Kavach in > exchange of Indra Shakti and we give it a name of greatest donation? > answer He had not asked for shakti , but said by His father Lord Sun in dream and Lord Indra gave Him > Please excuse me if I hurt somebody's feelings.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Om Namah Shivaya. But one thing Babaji and PradeepJi, it was becoz of the bad company he had that failure, but also think about why was he deprived of many things even before he became freind to Dhuryodhana. But bad company i would say, even a dog shows its luv for the one who provides food and how come he can go against dhuryodhna who stood by him. Right or wrong he was a human and not a God and didnot have Krsna on his side unlike Arjuna to make right decisions at right time. " Why didnot Krsna advise Karna unlike he advised Draupadi to refuse Karna " ? Krsna knew the game plan and knew only Karna can fight/win Arjuna, so he tricke Karna several times to make him a weaker Human!!! Sorry if iam wrong in my veiws. Shivaya Namah Aum.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Karna was wronged by 1) his mother Kunti twice , once immdiately after birth and later by asking him to spare the life of arjun 2)Arjun 3)Lord Krishna 4) Indra 5)Bhargava 6)Mother earth. No Dharmic logic or Tarka can rationalise Karna`s birth and death. " " War has different set of ethics is the only way to explain " I am eagrly looking for your enlightened teaching thanks ijswamy jitendra kumar <jtin_ja wrote: RAM RAM MERE BHAI yedi aap Bhagwan Sri Krisna , Radhey Shayam ,Kanha , Baanke Bihari , murli bajaiya , makhan chor , ran chor , Keshav , Vasudev Putra , Yasoda nandan , ............................ke bare ~SWAMY http://gjnanaswarup.spaces.live.com/blog/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This itself shows that Karna was not a good person otherwise > Krishna, the Lord, would never leave him without support. Sir ji hence you want to say that Bhism Pitameh ko yudha main samil nahin hona chahiye tha what duryodhan was doing , was not his intellect but it was the intellect of Sakuni. Sakuni planning could not be controlled by the Lord hismself , just Lord asked five villages then how Karna could have convinced duryodhana. what power Karna had to convince Duryodhan . Sakuni was the leader , he had the power to control everything in duryodhan side because He was a great kutinitigya (negative intelligence). all planning was done by the great kUTINITIGYA Sakuni . > could Bhism pitameh the jnani , vidur the jnani , Guru dronacharya .....could control sakuni . duryodhan was the instrument only. when Karna made friendship he was not knowing about the war and about Duryodhan . when he made friendship then it became his dharma to support him as everybody like Bhism Pitameh ,Guru Dronacharya ,...............did . because He was indebted by the Duryodhan . if He could not had fought in the war ,then faith of friendship might be lost till now. though today no faith is left it is different issue but still...... Karna was an intelligent person too , He was knowing what is right and what is wrong to do for him. overall He was the son of the Lord Sun and Maan kunti, a great Kshatriya ,a great Dhanurdhar in spite of born as Sut putra in society. but unfortunately(because of his previous karmas )he could not get the oppartunities in his life as other Pandavas got .
