You said "Ved Vyas used Krishna as God's mouthpiece so that his book is not banned"... what do you mean by that? How could you come to that conclusion (unless Ved Vyas told you so personally 😛)? And ban by whom?
Ved Vyas was Lord Vishnu's partial incarnation... who has the capability or the authority to ban his work?
If people accept that VedVyas was Lord Vishnu's partial incarnation then we need to accept what he says as it is - no questions asked.😆 I think it from a different rational. What if Mahabharat was actually just a story like Harry Potter where the narrator was the part of story itself. Over the years (like in Chinese whisper game) the characters became real and the stories were distorted by everybody's own logic. Does anybody has the original version by Vedvyas? Again, these are the questions that are not answered if you try to find logic.
And why should Ved Vyas be worried about someone banning his work when the intention of writing the story was to convey what had actually happened. If he was worried about banning then he would have never written about Draupadi's vastraharan!
This is the logic here. He was a narrator of an interesting story and he is building up the story to make it interesting and the thing is some of the incidents that he has made part of his story were controversial like one girl marrying 5 husbands. Draupadi's vastraharan was the ignition point for Mahabharat.
If you find having 16108 odd wives (and not 36000) or 5 husbands out of the ordinary then what do you say about existence of dinosaurs millions of years ago? 😆
- Yes, I know i didn't get the figure right.😆 How are they related even?And you need to research on why Krishna had to marry 16108 wives and why Draupadi had to marry 5 husbands.
- There could be any reasons but whatever the reason was; the end result remains the fact "one person marrying multiple people"
Also while we are talking about the reason behind this I would like to also address what @TheWatcher said.
Sure. I just think the previous birth reasons are just like making Krishan as mouthpiece of god. Common people do not accept Not-so-normal behavior so, if you involve unknowns like "God" and "previous birth logics" which nobody understands, they start accepting things😆. BTW that's how all the famous saint survive🤣
