Oh really please let us know the other characters among whom Arjun was one ...also could you yell us whom do you expect us to appreciate on Arjuns appreciation thread???

They had a son re n they didn't have lovey dovey love story that Draupadi died for her love n he was cold to her🤢

Adharma wow when others do it...its fine but if he did so omg he was the worst n blah blah🤢

Exactly!!!!! A student has full right to ask his teacher for more knowledge! How does that be responsible for What happened to Eklavya!????? Actually Rushika, it's human nature to find flaws in people. A person can do less of unjustice, this is unbelievable for people!

Myra your oses are fab but will read them tommorow and give an elobrate reveiw...

Arjuna was considered the foremost among the men⭐️⭐️

Shrimad Bhagavat Geeta (Chapter 2, Verse 15)

II 2:15 II

yam hi na vyathayanti ete, purusham purusharsabha
sama-duhkha-sukham dheeram, so 'mrtatvaaya kalpate

Comment:

This body which has received and which later departs from us, to
believe it to be I, mine and for me, is the main mistake. This
mistake is not natural; rather it is created through man himself.
This mistake arises due to not giving due importance to our Viveka
(sense of discrimination). From this one mistake many other mistakes
ensue. That is why it is of prime importance to get rid of this
error. The responsibility of correcting this mistake lies on
individual only. To help to correct this mistake God has granted the
faculty of Viveka to man. The spiritual aspirant who gives
importance to Viveka can correct his mistake; he can become free
from sense of I-ness (egoism) and Mine-ness. On becoming free of
sense of I-ness and mine-ness the sadhak attains a state of
equanimity.

Lord Krishna addresses Arjuna as simply the "best among the men"

So far in his life, Arjuna has followed the principle of 'Service above the self'. Even though he had earned the title of 'Dhananjaya' i.e. conqueror of wealth, he never used it for the purpose of self-aggrandizement. Arjuna being the best among men, Lord Krishna considers him to be a worthy recipient of 'Yoga' i.e. unity with the Self.

From Gita Prabodhani pg. 27

Leave it frappie let's carry on with our discussion irrespective what others think 😊

Oh really? Do you remember that this is Arjuna AT? This is for people who feel Arjun was the real hero of the epic or Atleast have good feelings for him and here we share our alike thoughts and learn new things in an entertaining wat. This is not a discussion thread. So who do you want us to glorify in Arjun's AT?

Draupadi was speaking breathlessly and arjuna heard her in rapt attention,almost mesmerised by her flawless word flow.
"Yajnaseni,you analyse circumstances and personalities so clairvoyantly and articulate your thoughts just as efficiently..."
"It's the influence of sakha...whatever I am is the result of his infinite affection...''
"Only him?"there was a twinge of envy in arjuna's sharp tone...
"A result of only his infinite affection...?so what about us ?who are we,yajnaseni?the husbands who failed to protect you at the rajyasabha,who sent you on a 12 year exile...?arjuna cast his eyes down!
"You are also the one to present me with indraprasth?"there was tenderness in draupadi's voice.very affectionately,she placed both her arms on arjuna's bare chest.
"Are you envious of sakha?"she asked looking him directly in the eye...there was so much warmth...compassion in her voice that arjuna did not repent his query.but when draupadi very gently,without causing the slightest hurt posed a counter question to arjuna,his expression gave him away.
"Me?can I ever be envious of sakha...?how can you even suugest so,yajnaseni?he is my life...I breathe because he exists...if I eat it's because he is there...I'm alive because he lives...I'm his reflection,a part of his being..."draupadi looked into arjuna's eyes.he was speaking the truth...
"Then what made you ask this question?don't you know that all of us are what we are because of sakha...?
"Yajnaseni,my beloved,I'm aware that all of us are alive today because of Sakha...if he wasn't with us in the battle of kurukshetra then perhaps...of course I'm aware of it all and I understand you...him...but sometimes,when I witness your intense love for him I turn restless...
It's as it is difficult to share you with my four brothers and now this..."
"If you can't decipher between love and devotion,parth ,then who can...?
Draupadi's eyes brimmed over with tears."take me to sakha,parth...take me before it gets late..."
Arjuna held draupadi' hand,stroked it gently as if consoling her.it was an intimate moment between the two.then abruptly arjuna went out of the room.
Draupadi attributed his quick strides to his discomfiture.
Arjuna returned back faster than he had gone...
"Yajnaseni,the chariot is ready.how long do you think you will stay away?"

@Brish no doubt people find it little tough to digest it n what Arjun had to do wid Eklavya I don't know where did people read he had animosity against Eklavya or requested Dron to ask for his thumb 😕

ooh is it? Then may I please know whom should we over glorify or praise in Arjun's AT? 😳

We would love to discuss other characters in this AT where that ordinary Arjun shouldn't b praised 😳

Please go ahead n suggest the greatest character of MB whom we should praise 😳

No one should be over-glorified and I'm not against praising Arjun in his At or anywhere else. No one is greatest in that epic. Everyone had their own flaws. Even Arjun

@Rushi dear as far as I know these are just POV of people. The real story only says Dron asked for his thumb. StarBharat showed it quite correctly. 😊

@Aditi lovely part from the Geeta! He indeed is the best of all men. Krishnaschya sakhyabhaga...
😊

@Anmira wonderful... Loved it.. 👏
