What about Arjuna visiting I dra lok n heavens during agyatvaas ?? Did he travel to another planet by using spaceship ??

I think these visiting heaven incidents are all interpolatations or just stories added later because it's tough to believe that they actually managed to travel to another planet and these is actually life they witnessed there.

Or, how about they simply Visited kingdoms outside India? The story revolves around Bharat varsh or the Indian subcontinent. But what if these signify that they travelled outside of India and met different kinds of people?

Yep, Pushpak Vimana being an aeroplane was mentioned and as you mentioned, test tube babies of Gandhari.

Karna being born through surrogacy is very interesting

Yes, I am Bengali 😊. I know you are. I think I saw you when I used to lurk in Starbharat forum. A big Arjuna fan, right?

Yes, Arjuna fan, not Shaheer fan anymore though. XD

Anyway, Karna's birth is something very interesting I feel. And in Bengal, Karna is very celebrated because of Tagore's Karna Kunti Sangbad, I think. So I have read many theories by scholars here about Karna and his whereabouts and birth! 😆

I get that. I was just curious if the author himself had mentioned anything. Maybe it was extra level of protection, since head were to some degree protected by their mukuts also na?

I will check the Karna chapter from the book I own and try to find out. Vague memory xD

But yes, I feel Kundal was just an extra layer of protection.

It makes sense that the Kavach is a bullet proof vest and the Kundals just a more advanced helmet if Karna was not born with it.

But the only thing that irks me is the specific mention (correct me if I am wrong) that Karna was born with them.

Besides, if they are bullet proof vests then anyone can have it, no? Why was it special to Karna.

That is why I feel it was a skin disease or deformity (that does not decrease Karna's valour though and I don't mean to say he was physically challenged) suh as a hardened skin layer over his skin. Something similar to schelorama.

Lekin, contrary to TV depictions Sanjay does not do live telecasting na. He mentally would go into the battlefield view something and then give highlights to Dhrity.

If Dhrity asked only then would he elaborate on that topic.

Achha?

I thought he was given divya drishti and he could give live updates😆

He got divya drishti in the form of a virtual reality kinda effect. When he wanted he could roam around Kurukshetra and then maybe take off the Google glasses and tell Dhrity.

Realistically, I wonder how many pillars did he walk into in his pursuit of the war. And otherwise, was it a you-can-lay-down and-use-your-mind-to-move? 😆

Ok I was just wondering did Duryodhan ever invite Karna and family for a family dinner to his palace? like with his parents

Just am curious to know how would Dhritrashtra react seeing his driver invited as a guest to his place

KMG toh says he was born with it.

Bullet-proof se I think it had Surya-loka ka some form of advanced technology.

Also, if it had mirroring qualities then it might also have helped in rebutting enemy shashtras?

Very interesting theories about Karna's kavach kundal.

I think it's just a metaphor for his radiant look etc.

But deformity could be very interesting.

Sanjay doing video call😎

About traveling to Indralok, I think going outside earth is a little far fetched. So yeah, it could be it was on the other side of the Himalayas maybe.

The description suggests Arjuna saw many such Vimanas which could travel to Swarg. So probably an airport or a helipad.

And mountains are mentioned. So I guess wherever they went, it was probably on the other side of the Himalayas. Maybe Europe😎 Arjuna is the luckiest of the Pandavas. He had the most adventures.😃

Oh.

Then toh your theory makes sense. But he came back and told Dhrit while war was Continuing so didn't he miss out stuff xD🤣

If we completely overlook this whole divine Surya lok thing, he cannot be born with something of technology (at least not possible as far as I know).

If he is born with it, it must be biological, no?
