@bold: that's indeed a better thing to do!!!

That's why I feel had it not been for Draupadi's constant reminders, Dyut Sabha would have become long lost memories to Pandavs!

You answered yourself. Draupadi suffered for her mistakes too.. She was not saint either. Karma bit everyone.

And I totally agree with what Krishna said today, Karna could have used this situation for betterment of society but he was too selfish to do that.

What betterment? I didnt not even get the example cited by Madhav. There may be a hundred Sutas who did social service and went unnoticed for a large part of the history. See, the desire for acceptance stems from rejection and insults. His desire to pursue his passion n through that achieve recogniion is not selfish or a crime.

Krishna didn't say you should have, he said you could have. Major difference. Krishna never said Karna was selfish, he said he wasted his valour for a man who didn't care for him. Krishna also gives Karna an opportunity to side with the Pandavas by telling him the truth about his birth, but Karna was blinded by his loyalty and friendship and the word given by him to Duryodhan. If Karna really was such a great warrior, why would he be a part of Abhimanyu's brutal killing? He even knew how Abhimanyu was actually related to him. Is that how he really wanted to pursue his passion, whom was he actually fooling?

Even that Duryodhan did not care for him is not completely true. Perhaps the only death that left Duryodhan devastated for a second was Karna's death. He even felt for a sec he took the wrong decision in calling for the war. N as for Abhimanyu's death, I would like to see that Karna was trapped in his own loyalties. Abhimanyu's death was wrong. But to say Karna was selfiish and lived for himself is false. He lived for others. Made sacrifices for those who did not deserve it. Gave promises to people who used them to their advantage. But I wont blame Karna for his choices because his fate placed him in such situations.

The Pandavas actually gave up life post war. It was their punishment for their wrong doings in the war according to me. But I think they were on a path to attain moksha so I wouldn't call it undignified, infact Yudhishtir actually gets there :D

Still I believe none of them except Yudhishtir wanted that kind of a death.

Din't they suffer enough throughout their life? To live with self guilt is biggest punishment. They were feeling guilty so they lived with their guilt. That was their punishment. For Kauravas they were not even sorry thats why they died in war. If Kauravas had shown guilt, and said sorry to Draupadi , it would have been sorted out and there woulndt have been any war.

Both sides got their punishment in different way. For Pandavas living with guilty was more punishable than dying, for Kauravas who were not sorry were given punishment of death.

Believe me death is not biggest punishment alwyas..

@ bold agree // u said veryw ell both sides got their punishment in different method kaurava got punishment for they dying but pandavas lived with guilty feeling was more than dying.. 😛😛

That's exactly what I meant when I said his skill got wasted for the wrong man and that was exactly what Krishna was trying to tell him. Why was Duryodhan devastated? Because the last man who had the potential to lead him to victory had also died. Karna was so much more than what he was. Karna was selfish because he believed his dharma was to serve his friend and he couldn't see anything beyond that.

Ok I can answer only in Arjuna's case because I have some kind of understanding there. It was impossible for him to move on because without Krishna he was dead anyway. They were Nara-Narayana after all :D :D

He actually did. I've also read somewhere that Krishna couldn't live to see Arjuna's death so he gave up his life before Arjuna did. I don't know how true that is.
