Arijit007, let us not judge other people. Also no need to call Duryodhana donkey prince either.

ok, you are right , who are we to judge others, and about calling duryodhan donkey prince, i have used up every adjective that describes the lack of inteligence or comon sence on him, so i gave him that title.

Best thing abour ⭐️Bharat is actors are awesome.
SRJ rocked as Krishna Showed that divine aspect with elegance.
Arpit was good. He showed arrogance, Anger, a little bit of fear
When SRJ and Ankit were in same frame , it was as though both are living their charcters

So, looks like we will have the cosmic roop of Krishna today.

I had written this on the symbolic theme thread also. Here is my interpretation of this important scene:

When Krishna goes to HP for peace talks, he shows his cosmic form in the court (after he finds out Duryodhana's plan to capture him). Only Vidur, Bheeshma and Drona are able to see the iridescent form. Most of the kuru court and Dury etc shut their eyes. Shows that a person who shuts his eyes when faced with truth will always remain blind and commit sins because of his lack of belief in truth (here Krishna) Dhrit was lucky to get his vision for a brief period when he saw Krishna's form but decided to remain blind after seeing the most wonderful sight in his life. So, even a sinner like Dhrit can be lucky to get darshan of the divine or a glimpse of the truth. After the darshan,' he decides to choose his blindness- shows that despite being given a chance to see' the light, he still chose to stay in the dark afterwards.

God gives a chance to everyone. It's up to them if they want to see the light or remain in the dark.

@ underlined.
A common misconception, that this friendship/ indebtedness (to Duryodhan) started with Rangbhoomi. WRONG. They were pals since much before. A much more disturbing fact is mentioned in real MB. The Varnavat plot was not first homicidal attempt...He WAS an accomplice in poisoning child Bhim !!! And no, this is not an empty laim. Vyas MB has documented mention. Krishna Himself convict him of this gross crime. Just look at degree of hatred. This time, even this so called provocation ( Rangbhoomi) was not in picture, not that it provides any justification for Varnavat crime later either...🤢



Dude, i knew it was going downhill from the time Karna said to Krishna that he supports the stopping of this war --- i just sat and stared for some minutes and then laughed hysterically because who the hell is this even? did we have this character in the epic and forgot about him?

-- this person was not defeated by Drupad

--this person was not the 'root' of the lac house conspiracy, instead someone who was completely traumatized and changed by this incident and his friends cruelty which hurt his weepy heart --hah!

-- this person did not attack Arjuna and then ran away after the swayamvar

-- this person was no defeated by arjuna twice during virata war.

--this person did not order the stripping, he just supported his friend.

-- this person was not involved in the conspiracy to capture Krishna, instead he tried to stop his beloved friend.
-- Krishna did not include this person during the tongue lashing in HP court

So honestly, i ask -- who is this character and why have not i read about him before?

Karna did not ran away during the swayamvar, he retreated due to the Brahma weapon. Its quite clearly mentioned.

'" Thus addressed (by Arjuna), Karna the adopted son of Radha desisted from the fight, for that mighty chariot-fighter thought that Brahma energy is ever invincible "

Here is a citation from the critical edition that addresses this issue:

Seriously MEdhu
I also wanted to ask did we miss any character from the epic
who is this new person in starbharath??
I always thought Karna was involved in Lac house conspiracy and wanted to kill pandavs and Kunti
and here poor guys he weeps on their departure and stops his friend 😆
Also in Virat negotiation he was sadly stopped by Bhism...
Otherwise I think he would win it too...🤣

thanks honey 😊
yes, withdrew, fled, ran away -- same difference -- details really! why should i worry about the reason, what he did , why he did is none of my concern -- he did it and it means defeat and fear for your life. Not that it is a bad thing, if it saves your life, it is very clever actually.
