I think the only way to stand up to God is to follow HIS path(in which case we become God).Even a slight mistake in dharma in any of our births,he'll make use of it to punish us.But of course, he has the power to forgive us only if we surrender to him completely.

yes, as he fought like a true Kshatriya and died like one... He will rightly deserve the place in Heaven....
I also had raised this query earlier :
Was there any evidence on how Duryodhana led the kingdom when the Pandavas were in exile... I have not heard of the subjects getting unhappy or upset with his rule...
There is no concrete information I could get on this.....
Can somebody come out with an posting on this pls...
I
In fact, not only Gandhari, even Dritharasthra was very powerful, even physically. After the war, when the Pandavas go to them to seek blessings and convey their sorrow, Dritharashtra would hug each one. When it comes to Bhima's turn, Krishna would stop Bhima and instead move a metal statue in front of Dritharasthra. The old king, in full sorrow of his sons' deaths and in anger towards Bhima who killed them, will embrace the statue with such force that it will actually shatter to smithereens. Thinking he has actually destroyed Bhima, the king will then repent and start to lament, when Krishna would reval the ploy and then let Bhima embrace the blind king.Quote:

Krishna was saving them in this materialistic world only.They all had to spend their time in hell for sometime before entering heaven.Even yudishtra had to reach through an opening from hell.This is because he told a partial lie to kill Drona.The Lord did not save them here.
There was another occasion when Lord Krishna will save from Sage Durvasar… who was known for getting upset and immediately coming up with some curse….
Oneday, Durvasar … with his entire parivaar.. will come to Yudhistira ( when in exile ) and will say that he wish to have food with him .. and will say that he will come back after taking bath….
Draupadhi will be wondering how to handle this as just moments before that the pandavas would have emptied the food for the day…..
As usual, she will pray to Lord Krishna…. ( for Krishna Draupadhi is like a sister )… and the Lord will appear immediately…. And will also ask for food….
Draupadhi’s woes will be compounded now…. And she will tell Krishna that there is nothing left out…
Krisha will ask for the vessel on which Draupadhi prepared the food and will find that there is a small particle of rice and will eat it casually…..
It’s a symbolic message to the world…..Lord, by taking just a small piece…. Satisfies the Universe by his divine Grace …
Immediately.. Durvasar and his entire parivaar will feel as if they had a full lunch !!!
And will tell Yudhistira that they did not want lunch as they are already feeling as if they had more than enough lunch…
Thus the Supreme Lord will save the pandavas from another Embarassment…
The moral is…. SURRENDER BEFORE THE SUPREME LORD…. HE WILL BE WITH YOU …..
correct!!!, Give up the false EGo we have, such as me me and me, I I and I, Mine mine and mine, once this realised, and experienced, one will realise we are nothing but manifestation of 'Isa'(Iswar), we are all parts and particles of the Supreme Parmatma, Maha iswar, then by attaining this knoweldge, you have attained all the knowledge of the universe!!!, no matter how much u study abt this mundane world, no matter if you have PHD in science or mathematics, these are all Maya, ONLY applicable in this world, these are all like passing clouds, once these clouds pass away u will realise ur ParaBhraman( your origin), and finaly leading to Maha Iswar!Quote:

What are your views on my above post?
Raghu...
Yes... precisely.... No second thoughts on that.........
I also remember in this context...
KATRADHU KAI MANN ALAVU... KALAADHADHU ULGALAVUUUUU..
Also from Ramalinga Swamigal... I think...
ULGAM YAAVAYUM THAAMULAVAAKALUM.... NILAIPERUTHALUM NEEKALUM NEENGALAA.
ALAVILAA VILAYAATUDAYAAR AVAR.. THAILAVAR.... ANNAVARKAY SARANAANGALAY......
Amongst the 100 brothers… there was an odd man out… He was Vikarna… Known for following values..
He was the only guy who will argue with Duryodhana and others during the Draupadhi disrobing episode… but unfortunately will get overruled by others….
In the war also… still Vikarna will fight for Kauravas and will get killed by Bheema… Bheema, it is heard … will feel very sad for having killed Vikarna as he knew very well that Vikarna had been an exception amongst the Kauravas..
Thus ends another small but interesting character in this great epic..
I heard there was atleast 1 brother who will fight with Pandavas.Maybe,i'm wrong.
I think his name was Yuyutsu
