That's where many people get confused, Brahmashira and Brahmastra are different.

Brahmashira is Brahmastra x 4. Brahmastra even Yudisthira had but Brahmashira was a weapon possessed by only three warriors viz, Drona, Aruna and Ashwathama,

Brahmashira was the weapon Ashwathama fired not Brahmastra

Was Brahmashira, the weapon that Karna wanted the knowledge of and Drona refused?

^Thank you for explaining/

One more doubt I had, if u do read frm start till end why did Karna always suffer? It was very unfair to him, right?

No, it was Brahmastra, Karna never desired the knowledge of Brahmashira since very hardly people knew it, Drona refused him teaching all the celestial weapons inlcuding Brahmastra, Drona refused, hence Karna went to Parshurama.

So Drona taught all these weapons only to Arjun and Ashwathama. It's surprising that he found none of his other 100+ students worthy. Sadly, doesn't make him a good teacher.

And is the knowledge of celestial weapons necessary for warriors?

Anu I answered in Pooja AT.. this Sree was Goddess of Grace.. not the consort of Vishnu..

I did some looking up. Sree is reported to be either another name for Laxmi or she was an earlier goddess who was merged into Laxmi or Saraswati

I also looked up Hindu Goddess of Grace. Also some confusion between Laxmi and Saraswati

may be coz all goddesses are graceful 😊 In swargarohan too she is found in the form of Sree by Yudishtra.. so until them atleast the merger did not happen.. LOL that sounds funny,.,

OTOH, isnt Saraswati a daughter of Shiva and Parvati? So when Devendra says the wielder of trident created Sree, may be he means Saraswati?

But then Arjun as an incarnation of Nar, is he supposed to merge into Vishnu as well? Then it would make more sense that Drau was Laxmi

😕😕😕

Hold on, if Arjun was an ansh of Visnhu, that may even explain Yudhi's Kurukul vadhu Rukmini😆

IMO a creation of purpose i.e destruction cant be Goddesses like Saraswati Lakshmi or Parvati.. they are major goddesses right.. Sree would be a celestial like Indra Surya etc..

i used think sree was the cheif consort of Indra

which made sense as pandavas were also Indra's in previous birth hence sree on earth had to be the wife of all pandavas

But isnt Indra Arjun's bio-dad? That would make Sachi his step-mom

Also KMG version clearly calls Drau as Sree. I am just trying to figure out who is Sree? Saraswati or Laxmi?

I prefer to believe Drau and the Pandavas were completely human, BTW
