and she was expecting him as husband...but destiny had other goals

Krishn used to call her SAKHI...and she proved him that she was indeed his SAKHI

He did some grave wrongs and be paid for it. He was killed by Arjun, was cursed by Lord ParshuRam and Dharti Maa.

Btw, Kauravas went go heaven while the Pandavas except Yudishthir and Draupadi went to hell even Karna ( he disrespected Drauapdi) . Explains a lot. All were wrong, hence were treated as sinners in hell until their redemption.

Nope... All of them (Pandavas & Draupadi) went to Hell. Read yourself. 😊

Karn was in Suryolok :

1.Then from that body of the fallen Karna a light passing through the welkin penetrated the sun. This wonderful sight, O king, was beheld by the human warriors after the fall of Karna.

2. [Dharma told Yudhishthira]

"Karna, the mighty bowman, that foremost of all wielders of weapons for whom thou art grieving, has also attained to HIGH SUCCESS. Behold, O puissant one, that foremost of men, viz., the son of Surya. He is in that place WHICH IS HIS OWN."

PS - After his treacherous & unfair death, Karna directly attained Suryalok. For dying like a true Kshtriya on the battlefield, Karna had obtained highest place which no one could obtained in Mahabharat. His status was equal to Lord Vaman (Vishnu's fifth incarnation), Lord Surya (His father) or Indra (King of heaven and one who begged Karna once). This was the highest success achieved by any warrior in Mahabharat.


Pandavas in Hell :

A) YUDHISTIRA IN THE HELL

1ST -

[illusion in the hell]

"Thus addressed, they answered him from all sides, saying, I am Karna!' I am Bhimasena!' I am Arjuna!' I am Nakula!' I am Sahadeva!' I am Dhrishtadyumna!' I am Draupadi!' We are the sons of Draupadi!' Even thus, O king, did those voices speak.

[This was the illusion in the hell which has nothing to do with reality. Yudhistira entered the hell but Indra used illusion to creat illusionary voices]

2ND -

[Indra to Yudhistira]

O Yudhishthira of mighty arms, come, come, O chief of men. These illusions have ended".

[Indra himself admitted that it was an illusion]

3RD -

[Real View of the hell]

It is for this, O king, that desirous of doing thee good, I caused thee to be sent for having a view of Hell. Thou hadst, by a pretence, deceived Drona in the matter of his son. Thou hast, in consequence thereof, been shown Hell by an act of deception.

PS - That real view of hell was shown to Yudhistira because he was also sinner who cheated his own preceptor (Hell was real but those voices were illusion created by Indra and Yamraj).

B) TWO PANDAVAS AND DRAUPADI

1ST -

[Indra to Yudhistira]

After the manner of thyself, Bhima and Arjuna, and Draupadi, have all been shown the place of sinners by an act of deception. Come, O chief of men, all of them have been cleansed of their sins."

Anjali, I gotta go now. Ciao! 😆 😛

Though many writers have claimed that Kanha and Draupadi had a romantic relationship but thats not true.
Draupad wanted his daughter to get married to fhe the most powerful lrince at that time which was Kanha and he communicated the same. But, kanha came to his palace and declined the offer and made Draupadi his sister. However they shared a friendly relationship. Their relationship was more like that of God and devotee as she never questioned his advice and he helped her whenever she asked for it.

NP: ya i meant even Draupadi went to hell.
As much as i have read, Yudishthir went to heaven and he found the karauvas there but his brothers and wife werent.

Apparently,Draupadi is among one of his ashtasakhi.

Remember they fought for right.

Arjun, Bhishma pitamah, Draupadi & Vidhur

Every Mahabharat character is iconic. From the choices

Bhishma Pitamah

Duryodhana

Shakuni

Karna

Arjun

Gandhari

Draupadi

I never found the Kauravas necessarily the bad guys. Yes, they refused to give Pandavas their share of the kingdom but Yudhishthir couldn't control his gambling otherwise he would still have Indraprastha. Also yes they ordered cheer haran of Draupadi and no one did a thing. That was a sad moment for all these dharmis. At least Kauravas had a point to make. What was stopping the others? So you're a slave now because you lost a dice game? Ho.

And Duryodhana was a great friend who really respected inborn talent while the Pandavas believed in nepotism and the star kid system. They didn't want Karna to compete among the star kids though he was better than them. I bet if Duryodhana was on the other side and his wife was going to be disrobed, he would've given two f**ks for the rules of dice game and would have defended his wife no matter what.

What was the need for Shri Krishna anyway? It was a family feud. Now so much water has flown under the bridge-world has seen catastrophic times for human pysche, for human condition and no saviour has appeared yet. Although the time seems very ripe now.

+1.

BTW, according to original MB "Dharmik" Yudhistir was addicted to gambling & game of dice. 😉 This is the reason, he had come to play game of dice even after that incident took place in the Kuru Sabha and one more thing you people might not be aware of it, Yudhistir's intention was to snatch Duryodhan's kingdom when he had come to play game of dice for the first time (its clearly mentioned in a passage of Sabha Parva). 🤢 and Duryodhan was a great king. If he was such a horrible human being, his citizens wouldn't have placed him in pedestal.

Also, I'd have atleast respected Draupadi, if she had walked out from her marriage but instead of cutting her ties with her good for nothing pretentious spineless loser husbands, stayed like a doormat.

And lastly, I'd like to say Karna was not only the greatest warrior of Mahabharata, he was also by FAR the most handsome, charismatic and attractive manly looking man of the whole Dwyapar Yug...

PS - Star Plus Mahabharata was a complete SHIT. They do not have even an iota of originality in their crappy serial. It was a sheer OTT melodramatic, distorted nonsense created by them just to fool gullible audience & to garner high TRPs. Nothing else! So, don't get fooled by SP Mahabharata AT ALL. 😆
