Dont shoot me 😆 but I think the dice game was a major public service announcement (aka yeh sandesh jan heet me jaari kiya hai) and it showed society and the common man that dice game is such a destructive game that you lose all senses in the name of winning or wanting to turn around a losing game, because neither the losing side nor the winning side wants to leave the game;

And it the game had such an effect on some one we call Dharmraj then how can a common man resist the game...

I would have liked it if Mata Saraswati had prevented him from staking his wife, it goes to show how possessive the game is!

Besides I think the dice game was a go signal for the Dharm Yudh (Kurukshetra) because without the happenings of that dice game (Draupadi;s insult, society's insult) they were able to make a strong case of war, because without that dice game the case for war was not as strong...

And if you are to say well Kauravas died but what suffering did the Pandavas endure as punishment for the dice game, - they lost their kingdom, went into exile, lost their relatives and sons in battle. (I have a friend who sympathizes with the kauravas towards the end of the Mahabharat).

At this point I wish to go in depth while analysing each incident and every character before making conclusions.

Ah now I understand...😕

The Ambas, Madris and the Karnas were flawed, yet amazing...but Krishna, though amazing was flawed. 😕 How true 😲

Maybe we should abandon this Kurukshetra and emigrate to a more peaceful Vrindavan ...

Well in that case, a certain Vrindavan awaits you, my friends 🤗

After all the thought provoking (emphasis on provoking 😆) responses I've seen in this thread, I really don't have much to add. I basically agree with Sema/Urmila11 and more generally the side of the debate that says the values that Krishna supported are values worth holding. On that note, the Ashwatthama lie happens to be my favorite action of Yudhisthir's because of the flexibility/correct prioritization it demonstrates. I happen to be very sympathetic towards Amba and even that is for a related reason - I feel that Bhishma would have been better off taking responsibility for the abduction by accepting her marriage proposal than he was clinging to his vow, just as Yudhisthir broke his satyavrat when higher dharm (i.e. Krishna's directive) took precedence, and as Vasudevji broke his promise to Kans when direct orders from God and love for Krishna prevailed. I certainly would have liked Yudhishtir more if he demonstrated this flexibility at earlier points in the epic (esp. w.r.t. his dharm towards Dhritrashtra), but as Sema's been saying, a character isn't suddenly going to develop traits we want him/her to on demand - like everyone else, Yudhishtir had certain personality, certain values, certain quirks and to appreciate what he did right within them would make for a more rewarding reading of the epic than to ignore those right actions because of a few wrong ones in the mix.

So according to you, you can love everyone, but you can only 'desire' your wife?
If the Pandavas had been so 'crushed by desire' than how is that on the night of the swayamvara - the first night she spent at her husband/s' house - Drishtadyumna found her sleeping separately / peacefully.

If the Pandavas had been so 'crushed by desire' then that night they would have been talking about the woman who was now their wife. But no, they were talking about mystical weapons, war formations, horses and elephants.

True, they were faced with a strange predicament, but once resolved, they put it behind them. They did not keeping thinking about Draupadi . They did not agonize about how they would 'share' her etc etc. In fact they put the whole issue behind them turned to other matters

If the Pandavas had been 'crushed by desire' they would not have been content to have only one child each from Draupadi. They would not have been able to observe brahmachrya during their 13 year exile.

I missed this post.

@ Red - No,I never said this way!I even mentioned 'life partner'.People confine love to relationship between a man and a woman but it is not like that!Please read my previous post again.

@ Green - This 'senses crushed by desire' is not my imaginary description.It's mentioned like that in VedVyas Mahabharat.

@ Violet - I vote for all these points.👍🏼 They will turn the discussion to a new path,a better one.👏

But why Ved Vyas used 'senses crushed by desire'!?

Let me tell you,I find various events and descriptions contradicting within Mahabharat!I wish to have a divine eye so that I can view all that happened and rewrite the epic.😆
