BHARATVARSH

SUBTLE NATURE OF DHARMA

Today I have brought a fun story from Mahabharat, which shows the Sukshma roop of Dharma, it's subtleness.

This is one of my favourite part from Mahabharat because of its humour and also it's message. So let me tell you.

It's the 17th day of Kurukshetra, Karn today was in full-force, jee-jaan laga ke ekdum ! He had defeated Nakul, he avoided Bheem and defeated Yudhishthir.

Dharmraj was severely wounded by the attacks of Karn, so much that his charioteer takes him back to the tent for treatment.

Now Arjun and Bheem don't see Yudhishthir anywhere in the battlefield and they get worried. So Majhle bhaiya tells Arjun that he will handle everything here, and asks Dhananjay to check the condition of Yudhishthir.

So Arjun and Krishna go to the camp of Yudhishthir, where he was lying, inflicted with wounds. Dharmraj becomes happy when his eyes fall on Arjun.

He thinks that Arjun has killed Karn and has come to inform him. But when Yudhishthir comes to know that this is not the case, and Dhananjay is here just to check his condition, bade bhaiya gets angry.

Yudhishthir gets so angry that he lashes out on Arjun, because he believed that Vibhatsu was not giving his 100% in the war. Keep in mind, Yudhishthir has guilt of loosing Abhimanyu and Ghatotkach, also he was severely hurt.

So Dharmraj not being in his right mind says a lot to Arjun, that he is afraid of Karn, he came running away from battle field, if Abhimanyu and Ghatotkach were alive they would've fought for him..... Blah Blah Blah.....

But then he says to Arjun that he should give his Gandiv away to someone who can fight, which causes Arjun to loose his temper, Dhananjay was furious ! Fuming in anger ! So much that he pulls out his sword !

Arjun was about to attack Yudhishthir but then Krishna comes in between and is like - Thand rakh ! Kyu chidh raha hai ?

And then Arjun tells Krishna that he had taken a vow that whoever tells him to give his Gandiv away then he will kill him. And it's Kshatriya dharm - Praan jaye par vachan na jaye.

And now Krishna's like -
