If you have citations please provide :D

This is the Wikipedia source, although it usually isn't the best out there!

MahaMaya

She is the goddess that destroys the upfold of illusion. She is the one that creates and destroys maya. She is controlled by Yogmaya and hence is the subordinate to YogMaya and senior to Maya. She emerges as seven mothers to destroy evil forces of Shumbha and Nishumbha, Being Chamunda one of them. She is required to gain physical strength, health, satvik attributes and demotes anger, greed and arrogance.

So is draupadi an incarnation of adhi shakti parvati or not because she is like the force which was born to establish dharma and so draupadi being an incarnation of adhishakti parvati and various other goddess had the full power to invoke the greatest battle of all times mahabharat 😕


Actually, Kurukshetra was fought for Dharma to be re established in the Kuru Dynasty and that could be done with Yudhishtir as the emperor and not Duryodhan. Like many say, Draupadi was just a catalyst.

For those who want to read more on Draupadi and Subhadra incarnations. here is some useful info.
For once, I think CV's got Subhadra's birth information correct.

Draupadi: Garuda Purana



Verses 3:17:1 onwards Garuda Purana explains the precursor of Draupati Devi's birth and the reason for five husbands. I think this is also quoted in Mahabharatha tatparyanirnaya by Acharya.

pur ktayuge vndra rudrabhry ca prvat /
indrabhry ac dev yama bhryca mal // GarP_3,17.4 //
avibhry u dev bhartbhi sahit khaga /
brahmaloka yayustatra brahma dadustad // GarP_3,17.5 //

In Krtayuga, Parvati Devi, Saci Devi, Syamala Devi and Usa Devi went to Brahma Loka and acted in amorous fashion before Chaturmukha Brahma to insult him. Brahma cursed the four Devis to be born as human beings and have physical relationship with somebody other than their husbands. Since all the Devis are chaste they approached Bharati Devi, who being wife of Mukhyaprana was able to neutralize Brahma's curse.

In Draupati's body there are five jIvas. Four are mentioned above and in addition Bharati Devi is also there. When one of the husband comes to dwell with Draupati, only the corresponding jIva is active by the grace of Bharati Devi. This way the curse was neutralized.

In addition when Yuddhistira after going to Swarga sees Draupati Devi and tries to engage in talk with her. He was stopped and informed that Draupati is svayam Sree.

Sree here refers to Bharati Devi and it is another name for her.

SUBHADRA (Source: Sri Narasingha Chaitanya Ashram writings)

Subhadra is Yogamaya, The spiritual energy is called Yogamaya. And she had 16 different expansions. Out of these 16 expansions, Subhadra is one. The Mahamaya of the material energy is also expansion of the energy of Yogamaya; and both Yogamaya and Mahamaya are equally important to Krsna as much as any government department is equally important for functioning the government.

Durga's other name is Bhadra, not Subhadra, and Durga's activities are within the material world. Subhadra does not work as Durga. Subhadra is internal energy, and Durga is external energy. As energy they have a relationship as much as we are energies of Krsna, but the energies are working in different capacities.

In 1872 Sri Bhaktivinoda Thakura wrote an essay for a newspaper in Cuttack, Orissa about the Deities of Jagannatha, Subhadra and Baladeva as they are manifest in the temple at Jagannatha Puri. An excerpt follows:

In the middle room [of the temple], there is an elevated seat on which stand four different forms, viz., Jagannatha, Balarama, Subhadra and Sudarsana. According to the Vedanta, God is one without a second, but He has infinite energies and attributes which are not fully known to man. But then man perceives only three energies in God, because he has no other corresponding sides to understand the other powers. From one of the energies proceeds matter in all its different forms and properties and this energy is styled the maya-sakti of God. From the second energy proceeds all spiritual creation, in all its relations and phases. This power is entitled the jiva-sakti of God. The third energy perceivable by man is the energy of Will, which is called cit-sakti. God moving in creation is what is meant by this infinite energy.

Jagannatha is the emblem of God having no other form than the eyes and the hands. They mean to show that God sees and knows and creates. Balarama is jiva-sakti of God; Subhadra is the maya-sakti and Sudarsana is the energy of will." (The Temple of Jagannatha at Puri, 1872)

draupadi portrayed perfectly..because one should not forget that with being an incarnation she is mother, not mother can bear death of her children. adi-shakti is the mother of whole universe.. it is said she feels pain of all her child and cares for them all. then obviously she will be upset that her six sons are going to die..this also helps other regular women relate to her.

we should also remember that through this tract they are teaching us some great leasons that we would not learn if we were just watching from regular point off view as just Krishna leela. we are getting great knowledge here.. they will probably not be repeated during gita gyan given to arjun. one also think that while teaching draupadi this lessons Krishna is also asking and teaching arjun to be ready to fight his grandfather, teacher, and all his dear ones. make tghat sacrifice for god, dharma and good of the society..still he will not be able to remember this lesson and we will get the most important granth GITA.

When Krishna met Arjuna for the first time in ⭐️B, Krishna did indeed tell Subhi,"Tum to meri Yogmaya ho, Subhadre..." Maybe, the viewers didn't pay attention back then...

Subhadra IS worshipped as a Goddess at the Jagannatha Temple in Puri (in case you didn't know).
Or, maybe the characterization of ⭐️Subhi makes it difficult for some people to believe that Subhadra is indeed an incarnation of the Divine. Of course, Draupadi is "divine" as well.

Point I'm trying to make is - If Draupadi can be "divine", why not Subhadra?

Regarding Draupadi's characterization, I have been complaining about it ever since the Pandavas stepped foot into Khandavaprastha. If you recall, THAT was when ⭐️Draupadi actually told the Pandavas that a warrior should be "scared" of fighting war since war causes loss of innocent lives. Yes, she actually said that!!

And despite fighting those snakes with a sword, she promptly turned on the waterworks when she saw the praja lying flat after the Takshak snake attack.

So, what exactly has changed since then?

And yes, this Krishna leela gyaan seems to be conveying roughly the same basic message as the Gita. And Arjuna is also listening to this Krishna leela gyaan. So, will Arjuna have any reason left to not fight in Kurukshetra?

And even if Arjuna does not want to fight, THIS same Krishna leela gyaan can be repeated once more in Kurukshetra. In such a situation, why give special emphasis on "aatma amar hai", karma, yoga, etc., if Krishna leela gyaan itself can do the job?


Since the time i saw Little Krishna parting the sea -- it was like a repeat of Krishna's entry. Huh, so they actually made that out of this scene -- this is how the story goes right.
And when i saw Subhadra yesterday and one of the uppandavas said 'Yogmaya' my mind instantly went back to 'Tum to Meri yogmaya ho subhadre ..."

It was because, when i saw the sea parting and Krishnas BG, my mind was already back on that episode, that helped connect the dots.
