First of all Renu, i suggest you to read the meaning of LIE in a dictionary , so that it will be very clear to you what i am talking.. lie is a lie,whether it is 'cute' 'white' black' whatever be the motivation behind it, whether making the other happy or unhappy, and i strongly stand on my view point that what naitik did to akshara was wrong.. very very wrong..
Now you bring the story of Devki, Yashoda , Krishana, before i pinned down something, i wanted to say that, all my family people are devotees of Krishana, and whatever i am going to say here, please don't take it in a wrong sense,as one coin has two sides, and i am not blind not to see the other side.. since the above mentioned people in everyone's eyes is god , whatever they do become right.. in reality they too are wrong..
i definitely not approve of krisha's behaviour at all and the justification for his behaviour given in puranas.. in reality this is my analysis on that character..
got hooked up with a girl who is elder to him, and didn't give a life to her, left her behind (since his age was 14 and she was 18 that too a married woman or an engaged lady i am not sure which one)and started a new life in new city(duty calls).. there are plenty of woman krishana involved with , and all of these extra-marital affairs is been looked up as a divine love..
krisha is the reason behind the kurushetra war, why because he was been insulted as a dudh.. he inspired arjuna to go for war, he taught war is good (like tony blair and Bush) he convinced his own people to go for war,he is the reason behind the death of karana arjuna's own brother, he used his aunty to deceive him, he did a dirty trick in the war to kill ,Duryodhana which is against the ethics of war ,and proved that he did a justice, even if you have to kill your own blood, fight.. at the end of war what they gained ??? i don't believe that Gandhari who cursed krisha is a fool, i don't believe that Duryodhana who said to krisha that he played against the rules of war was a fool either
and my intelligence cannot accept these cunning tactics at all.. he believes in Manusmriti, where woman has no freedom.. now whatever is been given in gita, was not wrote by krishana, i believe there is wisdom from vyas involved in those writings.. he might have liked krisha and brought out an epic of mahabharatha..
so any truth or theory connected with Krisha i dont buy.. to me it is a story which can pass it on to the children so that they too think on it and make themselves more intelligent..
Hence i stick my words,i don't support any kind of lie, i am ready to accept the truth as it is how much ever pain i have to undergo to accept it.. i prefer honesty all the way...
