Krishna, I hope you will elaborate on the why Dharma is shown as he is in the AC books. In MB, all characters had grey shades to them, some more in degree than others, except perhaps Panchali who had the least shade of grey, if any I don't see Yudhishthir so bad as he is made out to be in the AC books, however I look at it!

I will check in tomorrow on this thread...have to leave now...RL intervenes! 😊

Shobha di, thank you for coming here to support him 😊 Bye for now!

Exactly...it becomes harder when your mistake affects not just you but so many other people. And the chance given for your redemption gets considered as some other affected person's greatest sin!!

That is pity, for which they deserve sympathy. Sometimes it is also possible that a man did not want to harm anyone but for his deeds everybody suffered, just imagine the man's ill fate!

When u r a king with such qualities as mentioned in the epic(epitome of dharma etc), u don't have that luxury to say that, my intent was not to harm anyone. U r taught from young that, when u become a king, u have the responsibility of everyone in the kingdom. Anything and everything one does, directly or indirectly affects ur subjects. Is it fair, probably not. But that's the way it is. I can imagine his ill fate, and if like u say his intent was not to harm anyone, then his foolishness too.

By that logic, Vyas would need to shoulder the load of every single character's spoken words and conducted actions.

So the Vyas who narrated us Keechak's lust would be a pervert? The Vyas who narrated us Krishn's Bhagwad Gita would be Supreme personality of Godhead?

What is Vyas's fault? He is a narrator. A storyteller. A conveyor of historical events.

A reporter writing about a rape is not a rapist, nor is a journalist covering a philosophical event a philosopher.

I still don't get why Vyas should 'lose respect or authenticity' for narrating events.

@Shindes: Please see my previous post: I did not say that Vyasa was acting out sexual desire, I o

nly said that such words weakened the claim that everything that the rishis said/ that is in the epic is parsimonious and established fact. Either Vyasa could have been poetically exaggerating, or someone else could have put those words in later - either way, the point stands.

Thank God that Lord Vishnu had no problem to give him salvation 😆

Govinda to Panchali in Kamyaka Van per Aryavarta Chronicles

"I am you, just as you are me. I am the primordial being, and you flow through by body, course through my veins, as the life force that gives meaning to the manifested and the material. I am Existence and you are the Earth. Together we are life and death, creation and destruction, we are the cosmos. We are complete. No one can understand the difference between us, for one has no meaning without the other. But together we are meaning and nothingness. We are all there is".

Panchali felt complete. It was all that mattered
