Duryodhan made Karna King of Anga (a kingdom part of the land Dhritarastra ruled), which was a kingless place in need of a King. At first, Duryodhana made friends with Karna for his own selfish reasons. He had seen that Karna was equal to Arjun in archery, and he wanted someone like him on his side. When he saw the Pandavas scorn Karna, he knew that his chance came, and made friendship with him. He hoped that this would cause Karna to always support him, and it did. Later on though, Duryodhana really did value Karna as a true friend, and what started out as his selfish purpose soon turned into one of the much talked of friendships in history.

Thanks a lot for the information 😊

So,was Karna never aware of Duryodhan's selfish plans?

And doesnt Karna know that Kunti is his mother & Pandavas his brothers?

Does he later on repents when he comes to know about his birth?

Am sorry if some of my questions are repeated. Would appreciate if my doubts are cleared. I do understand that there may be many different interpretations.

Hi I have been on this forum for quite sometime, but as a silent member

Who was Vedji? He was a rishi! You think hes dead? Aree, hes ONE among those 7 who are still alive since Satyug and will remain till Kalyug ends."

My limited knowledge says that Vedvyas in one of the 7 chiranjivis(deathless) but he was born in Dwapar Yug only not in Satyug. He was born to Matsyagandha (Satyavati's previous form) n Sage Parashara. His original name was Krishna Dwaipayan because he was dark-skinned n brought up by Matsyagandha in a Dwipa (island). He is a trikaal darshi
Not all chirajivins were born in Satyayuga

All sects believe that their sect, their view n belief is best. I m Shaakt(Shakti worshiper) by birth but to me Krishna is supreme n I'm trying to be a vegetarian.
Its extremely wrong to think that my belief is truth n others r wrong or my sect is best others r lower to my sect. That Supreme Omnipresent has himself created so many forms n manifestations of HIMSELF. This means He Himself loves to be worshiped is different forms n different ways. Without HIS will nothing is possible. If different purans n people call that Supreme by different names gave different Rup to Him this means that they r doing so by HIS wish only
Why u want everybody to call that Supreme by the name Krishna only. This world is very complex different people hav differnt opinion. Its never ever possible that all people of the world will accept n worshipp one Rup of "The Supreme".

More than Puran our own thought matters most. More than what Rishis said our own understanding matters more.
If someone believes that Shiva or Durga is that Supreme than is it correct on ur part to say that those who belive so r foolish or other _ _ _ _ words that u used for them.? How all can believe in one Rup of Almighty? Our personal veiw regarding God keeps changing. For example whe I was very toddler God was photo r idol to me, then when I learnt more He became a wish fulfilling entity for me or a very powerful entity for me. My veiw abt GOD completely changed when I read Geeta n Teachings of RamKrishna Paramahansa. I came out of my narrow veiw of GOD. N with my everyday learning my notion of GOD is expanding. I ask u a question- What God is now to u was he same when u were 3 or 5 year old.
We ourselves had different notions of God at different ages. Everyday we r learning more abt him.

Thus what a person himself has understood abt GOD is more important than what is written is Purans or Vedas or Upnishads or Samhita. If some sect belive that Shiva or Shakti or Vishnu or some other is Supreme then is it correct on ur part to call them foolish or ignorant


@akhl(avinash)
I agree wid u that Bhaumasur and Narakasur were same.

very well explained poorvi, i donot think, this is a place to fight for your belief, look what we have doneover disputes that my sect is best and others suk attutude for ages, most of the wars have spurred from religious intolerance, lets not spur such a battel here

its to a person how he wants god to be

as swami Vivekananda has said: religion is the manifestation of divinity in man

so your faith, beleifis the manifestation of your own soul, if you repect others faith, you respect yours only

adn as poorvi has said, taking from Shree Ramkrishna's tecahings: there are a lot of ways to call god, like therez a lot of routes to reach a destination, all lead to HIM only, there are as many routes as your opinions.

here we all are friends, all have a righ to voice their opinion, respect them everyone, we are all friends here irrespective of religion, belive, cast or sect

There was a debate that Lord Krishna is an avtaar of Lord Vishnu way back 1 year. I had left for my college after my last post in this forum and to this date I couldnt write back because I shifted to a completely new city for my college, away from home and not much net access etc. After all the months, now that I got time after my 1st year is over, I am back to write. I dont forget and its better late than never as always! There is no one left on this forum I see but I hve to do wat my work was. So, here it is....
