Do you think that Karna died because of the arrow that was launched by Arjuna? What happened to karna was a betrayal. That should not have happened to such a generous, skillful and courageous warrior. Karna was actually betrayed. Not once, not twice, but 4 times. How?, This is how:
- In the first place, his mom betrayed him. Kunthi, his mother, was stupid enough to “experiment” a boon that was granted to her. The sun-god magically appears, as kunthi wished, and blesses her with Arjuna (with kavasa & kundala, of course). Kuthi then decides to leave him float along the sacred river Ganga.
- This one also goes to Kunthi. She requests karna for 2 boons.
- Hand over his kavasa & kundala
- And to use the bramahastira only once. That’s not fair, by any means.
- The third was by lord Krishna. The big guy lowers height of the surface of earth by stamping on it, and thereby saving Arjuna who is eventually gonna be a tool to kill karna. Well, that’s not warfare. I mean, shifting the position of the earth is by no means, warfare.
- This is again by lord Krishna. Even after shot by arjuna’s arrow, karna does not die. His deeds have been saving him. But lord Krishna disguises as a begger and begs for his karma that was accumulated for his good deeds. And Karna even does that.
- In addition to these things, karna also gets lots of curses for his guru, a Brahmin, the boomadevi, and a hadful of few others. So, what I see is not an arrow that killed him. But curses of those people and 4 highly damaging betrayal by both his mom and a god. It took this much of betrayals to bring down a warrior. So do you still think that karna was defeated? Think again…
In the second point you are saying "and thereby saving Krishna who is eventually gonna be a tool to kill karna. " but it should be "saving karna"...
ReplyDeletethanx for noticing sir. i've change it :)
DeleteAnother interested thing I would like to share is, in the fourth point you said Karna gave all his deeds to Krishna.. Here is the catch... Giving deeds itself is a deed. So what Krishna Asked Karna is all the three of his deeds (past, present, future). Intelligent Krishna :-)
