The Greatest Indian Epic - Mahabharath

My Dear "Raghu"

// Thank you very much for your not so NICE words, I am very serious about this,.....I seriously started this topic on an INNOCENt thought, well if you have been offended by this, then I am terribly sorry, as that was never the intention.//

Once again I confirm my APPRECIATION for initiating this very Good Valuable topic... as a Separate thread

I reiterate that I am happy to note .... several people with Good knowledge are posting rich stuuf ... Quite-interesting by individual postings

I have never meant .. that I FEEL OFFENDED... Nor I offended others..

As one of the WELL-WISHERs towards the Successful continuation by making all concerned happy..

I commented only on the PERFORMANCE . AND NOT ON any PERSON.

So to say... the Present unpalatable TREND OF NON-COGENCY...

... Leaving every part of the Topic INCOMPLETE, being Left in the MIDWAY. .

... in spite of my repeated clarification... with UNFAILING. affection ... and Regard to all..

... I don't follow why you must feel upset by my Strightforward CRITICISM on the Unwelcome trend.... not only in the Readers' interest... but also others including you

//It will be imposible for me to start the mahabharath story from the begining to end,//

No Not that I mean.. But only COGENCY Without leaving any point taken-up INCOMPLETE

I request all my Friends here to reconsider my comments on the current Trend and try to make it duly purposeful by changing the Trend as you feel Proper and Better. Thanks

Duryodana’s FOUL- PLAY to KILL BHEEMA by Cheating.

Initially Krishna and Balarama were only the silent Spectators at the Battlefiled on the last day of war.... between Bheema and Duryodana with Gadhayudhas.

... until the Fight conformed to the Yudha- Dharma ... and...

Krishna did not interfere until the last moment... when Duryodana played a Cunning-Game.

On the persistent offensive onslaughts by Bheema.... Duryodana was becoming weaker.. since he could not face his Enemy's severe Blows... nor could counter effectively.

Then Duryodana declared ... “ Hae Bheema You know everybody has some part of the Body weakest than the rest of his Body. I will reveal the secret of my Weakest Spot of my Body... on which you can try to hit and defeat me .... And I challenge ... You cannot defeat me .. even then...

Whereas reciprocally you also must reveal your weakest Spot of your body... on which I will hit and defeat you... It is a challenge.. Can you accept my challenge and prove your might better than me?...

My weakest Spot in my Body is... my Chest .. ( IT WAS A LIE).. What about yours Bheema?

Bheema believed it ... and replied.... "OK I accept your challenge My weakest spot of my body is my Head (TRUE) Let us see... who is mightier... to withstand even by facing the hits at the weakest Spot of the body".

And immediately Bheema started hitting at the chest of Duryodana... believing his Enemy's words as true...

...but it could not make any impact because his whole body (Except Thighs)... was already FORTIFIED by Gandharis Spiritual-Look through her Naked-Eyes on him... just on the previous day.

Contrarily... Duryodana started hitting forcefully on Bheema”s Head... by frequent blows after blows... which could not be managed by Bheema...

He felt giddy .. since it was really his weakest part of his body... whereas Bheema's repeated hits on Duryodanas Chest were totally failing....

... and laughingly Duryodana stood Rock-like

All the Spectators could note Bheema getting weaker and weaker.

If left in the same trend.... within a few more minutes... Bheema would have collapsed... culminating in his death as well as Pandavas defeat....as innocent victim of Foul-play

But at that critical stage.... Krishna PATTED on his Thigh... and shouted...towards Bheema... “ Well-done Bheema... Go on”

... and repeatedly patted his own Thighs.. smilingly

Bheema was initially wonderstruck and confused... started thinking ..

..." What is it I have well-done?... Is Krishna mocking at me?’

Then in a few seconds he picked up Krishna's Clue of Patting his Thigh

.... Which reminded Bheema on his Vow... to hit at Duryodanas thighs

.. and that Blood will be applied on Draupathis Hair... a TOUGH-VOW

.... "Until then I will not drink water with my hands but only the water which sprinkles up, due to the Gadhayuda-blow on water-surface..."

Thus awaken by Krishna's Clue cum Reminder... Bheema managed to raise up himself with much difficulty... and hit a severe blow on his Enemy’s thighs which proved fatal

Thus making Duryodana’s FOUL-PLAY an Adharmic-attempt for fetching
a CHEAP-VICTORY through CHEATING.... by means of... ..

... Exploitation of .. the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Bheema.

Such a nefarious Intention... of wicked Duryodana... .was THWARTED. .

... by the Timely-intervention of Krishna.

Hi Raghu !

I heard a story often from my thatha patti !!

When Duryodhana wanted to fix an auspicious date for the war , Krishna goes to the river bank to perform "amavasya tharpan" ( sorry if thepronounciatoins are wrong). But the day was not Amavasya.

Duryodhana thinks that it is amavasya and fixed some date. But Suryan and Chandran got confused and came there to ask Krishna about it. Then krishna tells them that on Amavasya sun and moon will be together. And just they are together.. it is indeed Amavasya.

Is this story anywhere in Mahabharath ? Or just "paatti sonna kadhai" ?

I support HHWalrus and Blahblahst here.
.
Our Indian Epics/Puranas are no doubt among the greatest in the World. We all share this view.
.
But then, some chap comes running in, tries to appropriate them, and pollutes them with their funny views and ideology. The very intention is to encourage abuse and bad-blood...
.
I would advise such people to leave our Hinduism and our holy Epics alone, and restrict themselves to their typical hate-filled ideological stuff...
.
Let us not run down what each of us holds divine.

Eden,

Correction. Hehewalrus & blahblah are anti hindu.

If U post a topic supporting hindusim, U are pro RSS, fascist & communal, according to them.

For them, anti hindu is secular.

Friends
Let us keep this topic to discuss Mahabharatha.Thanks everyone for your understanding.

FOUL- PLAY by Duryodana... was DEFEATED.by Krishna ... (Continued).

"Why should you Krishna interfere.... and FAVOUR.. one side... It is NOT FAIR... So far you were NEUTRAL... Now you have become PARTIAL" .. said Balarama ... blaming Krishna.

"Yes... Even now I continue to be Neutral only... But I ask you one question on the RUDIMENTARY- PRINCIPLE in Life .....

....When somebody is trying to easily win over the other ..

... by means of CHEATING.... or telling UNTRUTH .. or .EXPLOITING the RIGHTEOUS persons .... .

...and such other WICKED-APPROACH... rendering INJUSTICE unfairly towards an INNOCENT ....

... Will You KEEP QUIET... just watching the Fun... as SILENT- WITNESSES... ?

... similar to the Great Dhrithrashtra, Bheeshma, Drona, Karna ... and such other persons considered to be of DIGNITY....

... Had SET A POOREST EXAMPLE ... in the Human-History... by allowing a SHAMEFUL INCIDENT...

... to openly derobe a Woman.. ESPECIALLY THE INNOCENT...Draupathi a respectable Queen ..in the Royal-assembly itself... which is the Court of Justice.

... and thus seriously defamed and insulted the Dignity of Throne committed to render due justice... to any common SUBJECT of the country....Not only Draupathi... Is it Not the Worst Crime asnd Shame?

... Under such crcumstances... while the due dignitaries of power in the high Chair... behave unfairly...

...Don't you have any Moral-duty to INERFERE .. correct the wrong path...?

I did only that ... RIGHT PATH... as per my Duty... as a NEUTRAL DIGNITY.... common for both.

... by correcting the False-message of Duryodana... and indicating the TRUTH...

... that the Fact is... his Weak-Spot is Not his Chest... but his THIGHS.

Had he not told that LIE ... intending a FOUL-PLAY... I might not have interfered at all.

.. So I conveyed the TRUTH... CORRECTING UNTRUTH of Duryodana...

... so as to NULLIFY the probobility of UNDUE Victory for adharma...

If I follow your Advice.. to keep quiet allowing the Wicked to act as they like...

... then nobody on Earth ... will believe .. God ... nor the Righteousness nor the...

Basic Life-Gospel: SATHYAM-AEVA JAYATHAE (Truth Only will TRIUMPH).

Sudhaama,

I've heard this before somewhere but want to confirm it..

As per rules of the war, a person should not attack the other person below the hips... when bheema hit dhuriyodhana on the thigh, that was supposed to be against the rules of the war... The reason that bheema hit dhuriyodhana on the thigh was because that was the area that dhuriyodhana covered with banana leaf (as per krishna's instructions) when gandhaari opened her eyes...

Also, did aswathama had to use the conch to signal end of the day's war for some reason? I know there was some trick involved in that one too...

Madhu, that was not some patti story.. its infact true.. krishna tricked sun and moon to meet to create amavasya, eventhough sahadev had given a different date for the same..

Thiru,
as per Amar Chitra katha, bheema broke Duryodhana's thigh since during the infamous game of dice, after Draupadi was sold, Duryodhana slapped his thigh indicating she sit on his lap having become a slave. A furious bheema recollected this during the war...
Thats what ACK said.
