regarding Karna

[Guest guest]

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 them through whole of his

life for no fault of them and, later, 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 and to please Duryodhan.

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

Dear Pradeep, i fully agree with you. Karna is a strange

character... and i can see many people are tricked into believing

him very very great soul.

 

It is mainly due to his situation that he receives the sympathy of

public even now... due to his sad story of being thrown away by

mother and being pandavas eldest brother...people tend to forget the

mistakes he made.

 

But he was a high soul, no doubt...and came just to clear his

karmic debts... krishna like him, but due to his weaknesses...used

him as pawn only.

 

Karan need sympathy..but we can not overlook his bad deeds which

finally became reasons for his death.

 

Aum
