THE PANDAVAS USED TO DO THEIR DAILY POOJAS REGULARLY . BUT , EACH ONE DID HIS POOJA SEPERATELY . ARJUN USED TO COLLECT PLENTY OF FLOWERS IN SEVERAL BASKETS & DID POOJA WITH LOT OF POMP & SHOW . BY & BY HE FELT VERY PROUD OF HIS POOJA . ONE DAY HE & SRI KRISHNA WERE PASSING THROUGH BHEEM’S PLACE . THEY SAW HE WAS DOING POOJA WITH A SMALL BASKET FULL OF FLOWERS ONLY . ARJUN JUST GAVE A MOCKERY LOOK AT IT & THEY WENT AWAY . WOULD BHAGVAN TOLERATE THIS TYPE OF INSULT TO HIS ANOTHER BHAKTHA ( DEVOTEE ) BY ARJUN, THOUGH HE TOO WAS HIS BHAKTHA ? WELL, HE IMMEDIATELY WANTED TO TEACH A LESSON TO ARJUN TO CORRECT HIM . THE NEXT DAY HE TOOK ARJUN TO THE DHEVLOK ( HEAVEN RULED BY INDHRA ) THEY WERE JUST WALKING ALONG . AT A PLACE THEY SAW THE SERVANTS PULLING SEVERAL CARTS FULL OF FLOWERS & LEAVING THEM NEAR A HILL OF FLOWERS ! ARJUN ASKED ONE OF THEM “ WHERE ARE THESE FLOWERS FROM ? “ HE REPLIED AFTER A HEAVE OF SIGH “ OH ! THESE ARE FROM HASTHINAPURAM . ONE OF THE PANDAVAS IS DOING REGULAR POOJA & WE HAVE TO CLEAR THEM ALL DAY LONG . “ ARJUN FELT SO HAPPY & LOOKING SIDEWAYS AT SRI KRISHNA, ASKED AGAIN “ VERY GOOD . WHOSE POOJA FLOWERS ARE THESE ? “ THESE ARE THE FLOWERS ACCUMULATED FROM THE POOJA DONE BY BHEEM ! “ ARJUN THOUGHT HIMSELF ‘ IF THAT SMALL BASKET OF FLOWERS OF BHEEM ARE THIS MUCH , THEN HOW BIG A MOUNTAIN OF FLOWERS WOULD BE MINE ? ‘ HE AGAIN ASKED THE SERVANT “ WHERE ARE THE LOT OF FLOWERS OF ARJUN’S POOJA ? “ THE SERVANT SHOWED HIM VERY CARELESSLY “ SEE THERE “ & WENT AWAY . ARJUN TURNED HIS TO THE PLACE TO SEE HIS POOJA FLOWER MOUNTAIN & WAS SHOCKED LIKE HELL TO SEE A BUNCH OF FLOWERS IN A CORNER . BHAGVAN LAUGHED TO HIMSELF SILENTLY & ARJUN SIMPLY FOLLOWED BHAGVAN WITH HIS HEAD FACING THE GROUND . FROM THEN ON HE DID THE POOJA SINCERELY WITH A BASKET FULL OF FLOWERS ONLY, LIKE BHEEM ! THAT’S THE WAY OF BHAGVAN TO RIGHT HIS DEVOTEE’S WRONG ! THAT’S THE DUTY OF A RIGHT GURU , ISN’T IT ? KRISHNAM VANDHE JAGATH GURUM !

BHAGAVATH - GITHA ( STORIES ) 

KRISHNAM VANDHE JAGATH GURUM ! OM SRI GURUBHYO NAMA : 

KARNAN IS FAMOUS FOR DHAANAM ( TO GIVE ANYTHING IF ANYONE COMES TO HIM WITH CUPPED PALMS FOR ALMS ) ONCE , ARJUN WAS GIVING AWAY ALMS TO MANY PEOPLE WHOEVER CAME TO HIM, THE WHOLE DAY LONG ! SRI KRISHNA WAS JUST STANDING BESIDE HIM AS A SPECTATOR . FINALLY , WHEN ALL WENT AWAY , ARJUN FELT HIMSELF “ WHAT A LOT OF DHARM I HAVE DONE TODAY ? EVEN KARNA WONT DO LIKE THIS FROM TILL NIGHT TIRELESSLY LIKE ME ! “ THEN HE TOLD THE BHAGVAN “ COME ON KRISHNA ! I AM DAMN TIRED OF THIS DHARM , I DID SINCE MORNING CONTINUOUSLY ! LET’S EAT & GO TO BED ! “ THE NEXT DAY WHEN THEY BOTH WERE WALKING NEAR A SMALL HILL , THE BHAGVAN SUDDENLY CREATED TWO GOLDEN HILLS , WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF ARJUN . DELIBERATELY BHAGVAN WAS TAKING ARJUN NEAR THE GOLDEN MOUNTAINS . ARJUN ASKED WITH A SURPRICE “ HEY ! KRISHNA ! WHAT’S THIS ! THESE ARE GOLDEN HILLS .! “ SRI KRISHNA SAID , LOOK ARJUN ! THESE BELONG TO ME . I GIVE ONE FOR YOU & ONE FOR KARNAN . NOW, THE SAVAL – THE CHALLENGE - IS THAT , YOU BOTH MUST GIVE YOUR GOLDEN HILLS AS DHARM BEFORE THIS EVENING ! OK ? LET ME SEE WHO FINISHES THIS FIRST “ THEN HE CALLED KARNA & GAVE THE GOLDEN HILL TO HIM WITH THE CHALLENGE . ARJUN IMMEDIATELY CALLED HIS ENTIRE BATTALION TO KEEP DIGGING THE GOLDEN HILL INTO PIECES & SENT SOME TO INFORM ALL THE LOCAL PEOPLE ABOUT HIS DHARM OF GOLD PIECES . PLENTY OF PEOPLE GATHERED THERE IN A BIG QUEUE & ARJUN WAS VERY BUSY IN DISTRIBUTING THE FREE GOLD PIECES TO PEOPLE . IN THE EVENING BHAGVAN CAME TO ARJUN WHO WAS WORRIED , BECAUSE STILL HALF OF THE HILL WAS STANDING THERE BRIGHTLY ! ARJUN ASKED THE BHAGVAN “ WHAT TO DO KRISHNA ? STILL HALF THE HILL IS IN BALANCE . ALREADY THE TIME IS UP ! “ THE BHAGVAN SAID SOOTHINGLY “ DOESN’T MATTER ARJUN . COME ON . LET’S GO & SEE WHETHER KARNA HAS FINISHED HIS PART ! “ ARJUN SAID VERY PROUDLY “ HEY KRISHNA ! I HAVE MADE MY FULL BATTALION TO BREAK THIS GOLDEN HILL INTO PIECES SINCE MORNING ! WHEN I CAN’T DO THIS , HOW THE HELL KARNA CAN FINISH HIS GOLDEN HILL , WITH HIS SMALL AMOUNT OF PEOPLE ? ANYWAY , I AM ALSO EAGER TO SEE KARNAN’S DEFEATED FACE . COME ON LET’S GO “ THEY WENT TO KARNAN’S HILL OF GOLD , TO FIND IT WAS FULLY STANDING UPRIGHT AS IT WAS GIVEN TO HIM ! ARJUN LAUGHED MOCKINGLY AT THE BHAGVAN & SAID “ SEE THIS FOR YOURSELF KRISHNA ! YOU OFTEN PRAISE KARNA WAS BORN WITH THE QUALITY OF DOING DHARM . HA HA ! HE HAS LEFT IT AS IT IS & HAD GONE TO SLEEP AT HIS PALACE ! “ THE BHAGVAN TOLD ARJUN CALMLY “ LET’S GO & FIND THE TRITH FROM KARNAN AS TO WHY HE LEFT IT AS IT IS ! COME ON . “ THEY ENTERED KARNAN’S PALACE & HE CAME TO WELCOME THEM WITH DUE RESPECT & OFFERED THEM THEIR SEATS . THEN AFTER A LITTLE BEAT ABOUT THE BUSH , THE BHAGVAN CAME STRAIGHT TO THE SUBJECT’S POINT . HE ASKED KARNAN “ HEY ! I GAVE YOU A HILL OF GOLD THIS MORNING WITH THE CHALLENGE, THAT IT SHOULD BE GIVEN AS DHANAM BEFORE THIS EVENING . SEE . ARJUN TOOK SO MUCH PAIN TO BREAK THE HILL INTO PIECES TO GIVE THE PEOPLE STANDING IN A BIG ROW . THOUGH HIS FULL BATTALION WORKED FOR HIM , HE COULD FINISH ONLY HALF THE HILL ! WE JUST CAME HERE TO KNOW THE RESULT OF YOUR SIDE . HERE , YOU ARE SIMPLY TAKING REST & YOUR PORTION OF GOLDEN HILL IS STANDING ERECT AS BRAND AS NEW I GAVE YOU . DO YOU ACCEPT THAT YOU FAILED IN THIS CHALLENGE ? “ ARJUN SAT ERECT PROUDLY & WAS WAITING FOR KARNA’S ACCEPTANCE OF DEFEAT . KARNAN SAID COOLLY TO THE BHAGVAN “ HEY HRISHNA ! WHY SHOULD I ACCEPT THE DEFEAT WHEN I HAVE DONE MY JOB CORRECTLY ? WHILE GIVING THE GOLDEN HILL TO ME WHAT DID YOU SAY ? IT SHOULD BE GIVEN FREE BEFORE THIS EVENING . I CALLED A FELLOW STANDING THERE & GAVE THE HILL TO HIM & CAME HERE TO TAKE REST ! WHAT’S WRONG IN THIS ? “ ARJUN’S FACE BECAME PALE WHEN HE HEARD THIS . THE BHAGVAN SAID “ OK ! KARNA ! WHAT YOU DID IS RIGHT . I AGREE THAT YOU HAVE WON THE CHALLENGE “ & HE CAME OUT WITH ARJUN WHO WAS ONLY WALKING SILENTLY , LOOKING DOWN SERIOUSLY ! THE “ KNOW ALL “ BHAGVAN ALREADY KNEW THAT ARJUN WAS SEARCHING FOR HIS LOST EGO ON THE GROUND ! THAT’S SRI KRISHNA ! KRISHNAM VANDHE JAGATH GURUM ! JAYA JAYA SANKARA ; HARA HARA SANKARA !

THEY WERE ALL IN THE HEAVEN AFTER THEIR LIVES WERE OVER ON EARTH ( BOTH KAURAVAS & PANDAVAS) ALL THE OTHERS WERE SERVED WITH DELICIOUS FOOD EXCEPTING KARNA . KARNA WAS VERY HUNGRY . HE ASKED THE HEAVENLY BODIES “ I AM AS HUNGRY AS AN ELEPHANT ! WHY DON’T YOU SERVE ME ALONE FOOD ? “ HE WAS REPLIED CURTLY “ KARNA ! YOU HAD GIVEN EVERYTHING TO OTHERS WHOEVER CAME TO YOU FOR ALMS , EXCEPTING THE FOOD ! YES ! YOU NEVER DID ANNADHANAM ! NOW YOU CAN EAT ANYTHING ELSE HERE OTHER THAN FOOD ! “ HE WAS STUNNED AT THIS REPLY ! HE CONTINUED FURTHER “ YOU CAN DO ONE THING ; ONCE WHEN A POOR FELLOW CAME TO YOU BEGGING FOR FOOD , YOU DIRECTED HIM TO DHURYODHAN’S PALACE SAYING ‘ YOU CAN GET ENOUGH GOOD FOOD IN THAT PALACE . THEY ARE SERVING FOOD ALWAYS THERE .” YOU POINTED HIS PALACE WITH YOUR INDEX FINGER . SO, JUST KEEP THAT FINGER IN YOUR MOUTH & SUCK & TRY ! “ KARNA DID SO & IMMEDIATELY HE WAS SATISFIED AS IF HE WAS SERVED A GOOD SQUARE MEAL . ANNADHANAM IS PRANA DHANAM ! JAYA JAYA SANKARA ; HARA HARA SANKARA !

WHEN DHUSCHADHANA, THE PANCHA MAPADHAKA ( THE GREAT SINNER OF ALL THE 5 BIG SINS : LIEING, STEALING , GAMBLING , MURDER , LYING WITH OTHER’S WIFE ) ! WAS PULLING THE SAREE OF DHROWPADH IN THE DURBAR HALL OF DHURYODHAN , SHE WAS HOLDING HER SARI VERY TIGHTLY WYTH HER BOTH HANDS & WAS CALLING IN HER LOUDEST VOICE " HEY ! KRISHNA ! KESAVA , NARA YANA, MADHAVA , GOVINDHA , VISHNU , MADHUSODHANA , THRIVIKRAMA , VAMANA , SRIDHARA , HRUSHEEKESHA, PADHMANABAHA , DHAMODHARA , PUNDARIKASHA ! WHAT ARE DOING ? WHERE ARE YOU NOW AT THIS , MY , CRITICAL TIME OF DEATH THROUGH THIS MAHA PANCHA PADHAKA ? COME & SAVE ME HEY SRIMAN NARAYANA ! OTHER THAN SAVING ME NOW, WHAT OTHER IMPORTANT WORK HAVE YOU GOT NOW ? LEAVE EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW AS ITIS & COME & SAVE MY SOUL AS YOU DID THE GAJENDHRA SEVERAL CRORES OF YEARS AGO ! " THE BHAGVAN WAS PLAYING CHESS WITH HIS PATHNI ( WIFE ) DEAR RUKMINI IN HIS DHWARAKA ( GUJARAT ) PALACE ! ! ! BOTH OF THEM HEARED CLEARLY THE WEAK, CRYING , POOR DHROUPATH’S WEAK VOICE , BUT THE BHAGVAN WAS SO KEEN IN THE CHESS . RUKMINI NOTED THIS & SAID HURRIEDLY “ HEY DEAR KRISHNA ! DON’T YOU HEAR THE LOUD SOUND OF YOUR DEVOTEE POOR DHOUPATH’S CALL FOR YOU ! IT SEEMS THAT SHE IS IN SOME DANGER THERE ! WHY DO YOU PRETEND AS IF YOU HAVEN’T HEARED HER VOICE AT ALL ? SHE IS THE MOST TRUST WORTHY DEVOTEE TO YOU ! “ THE “KNOW 

ALL “ BHAGVAN SAID SMILINGLY “ DEAREST RUKMINI ! THAT’S WHAT I WISH TO CHECK NOW ! “ & CONTINUED HIS GAME BOTH SIDES AT DHWARAKA & AT DHURYODHAN’S PALACE AT HASTHINAPURAM (DELHI ) ! HERE, POOR DHROUPATH TRIED HER BEST TO SAVE HERSELF FROM THE CLUTCHES OF THE GREAT SINNER DHUSCHADHAN ! BY & BY SHE WAS BECOMING VERY WEAK & SHE HAS COME TO THE POINT THAT SHE COULD NO MORE STAND AGAINST THE BRUTAL STRENGTH OF THE BEAST DHUSCHADAN ! THERE IS NO OTHER GO HERE AFTER FOR HER ! SUDDENLY SHE LEFT HER SARI & LIFTED HER BOTH FOLDED HANDS ABOVE HER HEAD YELLING AT HER TOP OF VOICE “ HEY ! ABHATHPANDHAVA ! ANATHA RAKSHAKA ! “ THERE THE BHAGVAN IMMEDIATELY LIFTED A CHESS COIN & PUT IT ON THE BOARD FIRMLY UTTERING THE WORD “ AKSHAYA ! “ ( KEEP GROWING ) IMMEDIATELY DHROUPATH’S SARI KEPT ON GROWING ENDLESSLY ! THAT’S IT ! THAT’S WAS WHAT THE BHAGVAN WANTED TO TEST DHROUPATH FOR ! HER TOTAL SURRENDER WITHOUT ANY OF HER LITTLE BIT OF THE LEFT OVER DOUBTS ABOUT HIS GREAT DHAYALAM & KARUNA ! HE IS THE “ KNOW ALL “ BHAGVAN ! HE KNOWS WHAT TO GIVE , WHEN TO GIVE & WHOM TO GIVE & WHERE TO GIVE ? THAT’S IS HIS ONLY JOB IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE ! WHY SHOULD WE WORRY ? KRISHNAM VANDHE JAGATH GURUM ! JAYA JAYA SANKARA ; HARA HARA SANKARA !

WHY DID THE BHAGVAN TAKE SO MUCH PAIN TO TEACH THE 

‘ GITHA ‘ TO ARJUN ? BECAUSE, ARJUN WAS AN IMPORTANT MAHARATH OF THE PANDAVAS & THEY WERE IN THE MIDST OF BOTH THE BATTALIONS . AND , THE BHAGVAN HAD AN IMPORTANT DUTY - TO CORRECT THE MENTAL STRENGTH OF ARJUN , WHO WILL HAVE TO KILL HIS OWN KITH & KIN IN THE BATTLE WITHOUT FLINCHING A LEAST ! ARJUN SAYS SUDDENLY TO SRI KRISHNA “ HEY MUKUNDHA ! JUST SEE THE OPPSITE SIDE ! WHO ARE ALL STANDIBG AGAINST US ? MY OWN GRAND FATHER , ELDERS , HONOURABLE ACHARYAS , & MY KITH & KIN ONES ! SHOULD I WIN IN THIS WAR BY DESTROYING ALL OF THEM ? THEN, I DON’T WANT THAT VICTORY ! “ SO SAYING HE THREW HIS DEAR GANDEEPAM & ARROWS ON THE FLOOR . AT THIS THE BHAGVAN’S RESPONSIBILITY INCREASED BY SEVERAL TIMES – TO INFINITY ! HENCE , ONLY TO MAKE ARJUN FIT TO FIGHT IN THE WAR WITH RIGHT MENTAL EQUILIBRIYAM , LIKE A KARM YOGI ! AT ANY COST THIS WAR MUST BE WON BY THE PANDAVAS TO ESTABLISH THE REGIME OF ‘ DHARM ‘, READY TO WELCOME THE NEXT KALIYUG & TO HANDOVER IT TO ITS NEXT GENERATION TO PROLONG WITH DHARM ATLEAST FOR ANOTHER 5000 YEARS ! HENCE , THE BHAGVAN SAID TO ARJUN, STANDING ON THE CHARIOT FACING DOWN ARJUN . THE APT & THE MOST RIGHY POSTURE OF A GREAT GURU & THE VERY RIGHT DISCIPLE , TO TEACH THE WORLD’S ONLY BEST UPADHESH ! G I T HO P A D H E S H ! WHAT A PLACE & TIME THE BHAGVAN HAS SELECTED TO RELEASE THE JUICE OF THE ENTIRE VEDHAS, UPANISHDHS & THE HINDU SHASTHRAS ; THE ALL IN ONE NEW VEDHA ! SRI BHAGAVAN UVACHA ( TOLD ) : - ( CHANT EVERYBODY NOW TO WELCOME OUR MOST PRCIOUS, INVALUABLE CHASTE G I T H A ! HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE ; HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHANA HARE HARE ! ) 

“HEY ! PARTHA ! WHATEVER YOU DO , DO CONCENTRATE ON IT ALONE & DO IT WITH ATMOST CARE ; NEVER KEEP MORE AFFECTION ON THAT DUTY THAN WHAT IS REQUIRED ! NEVER ALLOW THE LIKES & DISLIKES TO OVERCOME/OVERTAKE YOUR SENSES ! DON’T EVER THINK ABOUT YOUR SUCCESSES & DEFEATS , TOO MUCH ! “ 

BUT, DID ARJUN FOLLOW THIS GREAT GITHOPADESH, WHICH WAS TAUGHT ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF HIM , TILL THE END RESPONSIBLY ? THE ANSWER IS A BIG NO ! NOT ONCE , BUT TWICE HE REPEATED THE SAME MISTAKE . HOW ? THE TWO INCIDENCES WHICH CORRUPTED THE MIND OF ARJUNA , ONE WAS , WHEN HE KILLED HIS OWN GRAND FATHER THER GREAT MAHARATH BHISHMA ; THE OTHER WAS THE BRAVE HEAVENLY DEATH OF THE GREAT MAHARATH KARNA ! 

THE PANDAVAS WERE VERY STRONGLY DISCUSSING THE WAY OUT TO KILL KARNA . BECAUSE , HE HAD THE POWERFUL NAGASTHRA WHICH HE PRESERVED , ONLY TO KILL ARJUN . SO , THE BHAGVAN DRAFTED A SECRET FINE PLAN TO SAVE ARJUN FROM THE NAGASTHRA . HE BEGAN HIS GAME PLAN . HE DISCLOSED THE TRUTH ABOUT KARNA’S BIRTH TO KUNTHI VERY TIMELY ie : HE WAS THE FIRST SON OF KUNTHI ! KUNTHI WAS SHOCKED TO THIS SUDDENLY DISCLOSED TRUTH & SECRET ! SHE WAS CAUGHT IN BETWEEN HER MIND & BRAIN ! WHOM TO SAVE & WHOM TO LOOSE ? SHE WAS FIGHTING VIGOROUSLY WITH HER MOTHERLY AFFECTION , WHICH WAS UNBEARABLE ! TIMELY, THE BHAGVAN BEGAN TO STRIKE THE IRON WHILE IT WAS HOT . “ HEY KUNTHI MATHA ! I CAN SAVE EITHER ONE OF THESE TWO SONS OF YOU ! DO YOU WANT ARJUN OR KARNA ? THINK OVER WELL & REPLY ME . IF ARJUN IS SAVED , THE DHARM WILL BE ALIVE . THE PANDAVAS CAN GET BACK THEIR KINGDOM AGAIN . THE LOST PRESTIGE & VOW OF DHROPATH WILL BE SAVED . SHE CAN CHANGE HER HAIR TO THE PREVIOUS , PROPER STYLE ! BUT, IF KARNA IS SAVED , THE PANDAVAS SHALL AGAIN BE SENT BACK TO THE FOREST . DHROUPATH CAN’T CHAGE HER HAIR STYLE . NO WONDER IF SHE IS AGAIN TREATED BADLY AS BEFORE BY DHUSCHADHAN . “ “ HEY GOVINDHA ! RADHEKRISHNA ! YOU ARE OUR ONLY RELIABLE SUPPORT FOR ALL OUR GOOD THINGS OF THE PAST, PRESENT & THE FUTURE ! YOU ARE THE ONLY BEST JUDGE ! EVERYTHING HAPPENS ONLY AT YOUR WILL & 

SHANKALP ! IN THAT CASE , WHAT COULD I CHANGE ? I HAVE LEFT EVERYTHING AT YOUR FEET . LET THINGS GO AS PER YOUR WISH & PLAN , MY DEAREST KRISHNA ! “ TO ATTAIN THIS MATURITY , 

( TOTAL SURRENDER ) , KUNTHI HARDLY TOOK ANY TIME FOR WHICH , BHAGAVAN’S DEAREST DEVOTEE DHROUPATH NEEDED SUCH AN UGLY INCIDENCE & THAT MUCH LONG DURATION ! 

THE BHAGVAN SLOWLY & EXPERTLY MOVED THE COINS OF THIS CHESS BOARD ! HE SAID “ MA KUNTHI ! “ YOU GO & MEET KARNA TONIGHT & DECLARE IN DETAIL THAT YOU ARE HIS MOTHER . KARNA , WHO HAS BEEN THINKING THAT HE IS THE SON OF A CHARIOT DRIVER SO LONG , SHALL FEEL VERY , VERY HAPPY BY THIS DISCLOSED TRUTH . HE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU ANYTHING YOU 

DESIRE . AT THAT SENSITIVE MOMENT , YOU REQUEST HIM THE BOON TO USE HIS NAGASTHRA ON ARJUN ONLY ONCE IN THE WAR FIELD . KARNA IS A PERFECT GENTLSMAN TO KEEP UP HIS PROMISE AT ANY COST ! THEN, SOMEHOW I SHALL SAVE ARJUN ! “ THE BHAGVAN ASSURED HER ! AS ORDERED BY SRI KRISHNA , KUNTHI MET KARNA & GOT THE BOON REQUIRED . THE VERY NEXT DAY , THE BATTLE BEGAN & KARNA WAS FIERCELY FIGHTING . PANDAVAS SIDE SUFFERED SEVER LOSS ! THE BHAGVAN SAID “ GANDEEPA ! ( DELIBERATELY, HE CALLED ARJUN BY THAT NAME CONNECTING HIS BOW ) THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME FOR YOU TO KILL KARNA . I SHALL DRIVE THE CHARIOT & KEEP JUST INFRONT OF KARNA . BE READY ! “ SO SAYING , THE BHAGVAN EXPERTLY SPLIT KARNA FROM HIS BATTALION & KEPT BOTH ARJUN & KARNA FACE TO FACE . THE MOMENT ARJUN SAW KARNA’S FACE SUDDENLY , HE WAS SHOCKED HEAVILY ; HIS MIND WAS VERY MUCH DISTURBED BY AN UNKNOWN REASON . HIS BODY & HANDS TREMBLED SEVERELY & HIS BOW SLIPPED DOWN FROM HIS HANDS . 

THE BHAGVAN ASKED ARJUN “ WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU ARJUN ? DURING THE MOST IMPORTANT HOURS , YOU HAVE THE HABIT OF DROPPING DOWN YOUR BOW ! “ “ KRISHNA ! I JUST DON’T KNOW TO TELL YOU THE REASON FOR MY SUDDEN MENTAL TROUBLE . WHEN I LOOK AT KARNA, I HAVE THE FEELING OF SEEING MY ELDER BROTHER ONLY …I DON’T KNOW WHY … “ WHAT ARJUN SAID WAS FACT ONLY ! BUT, ONCE HE KNOWS IT IS THE FACT , HE CAN NEVER FIGHT AGAINST KARNA SURELY . HENCE , THE BHAGVAN EXPLAINED FIRMLY, THE CRITICAL SITUATION TO HIM “ ARJUN ! THIS IS THE FINAL TEST FOR YOU . IF YOU GIVE PLACE FOR ANY UNWANTED DOUBTS IN YOUR MIND NOW , THEN THE WHOLE OF PANDAVA FAMILY WILL BE WIPED OUT ONCE & FOR ALL ! I ORDER YOU ! BOLDLY KILL KARNA RIGHT NOW . THAT ALONE WILL BE YOUR SENSIBLE DUTY ! “ ARJUN’S MIND WAS CLEARED & KARNA DIED . 

KUNTHI, AS SHE PROMISED KARNA, KEPT HIM ON HER LAP & CRIED LOUDLY “ OH ! KARNA ! MY DEAREST FIRST SON ! YOU HAVE GONE ELEAVING ME, BEHIND TO SUFFER ? HOW WILL I BEAR THIS PUTHRA SHOHA ? “ ( THE GREAT SADNESS DUE TO THE DEATH OF A SON ) ON SEEING THIS STRANGE UNEXPECTED & UNBELIEVABLE SCENE , ARJUN RAN TO THE BHAGVAN & CATCHING HOLD OF HIS KNEES CRIED “ HEY KRISHNA ! FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON, MY MOTHER HAD HIDDEN THIS TRUTH THAT, KARNA IS MY ELDER BROTHER . BUT , CERTAINLY , YOU MUST HAVE ALREADY KNOWN THIS SECRET . KRISHNA ! WHY, YOU TOO , HID IT FROME ME ? “ THE BHAGVAN DIDN’T REPLY EXCEPTING A SMALL MOCKING SMILE ON HIS FACE ! 

‘ WITHOUT ANY AFFECTION & SENSITIVENESS ONE MUST DO HIS DUTY ALONE RESPONSIBLY . ‘ YOU DIDN’T ACCEPT FULLY OF THIS GITHOPADHESH , I TAUGHT YOU ALONE ! BUT KARNA DID IT , ARJUN…! YOU HESITATED ( TO DO YOUR DUTY ) , WHEN YOU SAW KARNA, SAYING THAT YOU HAD THE FEELING OF AN ELDER BROTHER TOWARDS HIM , EVEN WHEN YOU DIDN’T KNOW THE FACT ! BUT KARNA ALREADY KNEW THAT YOU WERE HIS YOUNGER BROTHER . EVEN THEN, HE DIDN’T LIKE , THAT SENSE TO INTERFERE IN HIS DUTY . HE IS THE TRUE FOLLOWER ! HE FOLLOWED MY GITHOPADHESH TILL THE END OF HIS LIFE , WHO FOUGHT AS A DUTIFUL BRAVE KNIGHT & DIED AS A KARMA YOGI ! “ THE KNOW ALL “ BHAGVAN MUST HAVE THOUGHT LIKE THIS ONLY ! HE IS THE ONLY GREATEST “ KNOW ALL “ GURU OF THIS UNIVERSE ! KRISHNAM VANDHE JAGATH GURUM ! JAYA JAYA SANKARA ; HARA HARA SANKARA !

KRISHNAYA THUBHYAM NAMA : KRISHNAM VANDHE JAGATH GURUM ; OM SRI GURUBHYO NAMA : !

The Mahabharath war was going on at Kurukshethra . The war of the 17th day was too over . Sri Krishna & the pandavas were sitting to dine in the night . While serving the food to them all , Dhrowpath secretly looked at Sri Krishna sideways & HE too gave her a signal through His eyes ; immediately Dhrowpath poured a spoonful of water on the floor infront of Sri Krishna ; all these were noted by Bheem ! 

Immediately the cruel ghost of doubt got into his mind . ‘ Already , when she has 5 husbands , she is searching a sixth one ; what a test is this to us ? What happened to her ? “ By this sort of thought , limitless anger grew up inwardly . By looking at his face , Sri Krishna understood at once , his thoughts running inwardly . 

Bheem too told his thoughts without hiding anything from him . Sri Krishna laughed openly , on hearing him . 

“ Bheem ! Listen to what I say . You have been thinking all along these years that , Drowpath is your wife & of you all the Pandavas , isn’t it ? Parashakthi only has come in disguise of tour pathni . ( wife ) She is the divine Shakthi roop , which is in disguise of your pathni . Through Her only , I am conducting this great Mahabharath battle in the field of Kurukshethra . I am only acting as a rath sarathy - chariot driver . 

This entire drama is being conducted by Her alone ! If you have any doubt in my words , just watch Her activities in this midnight . Then , you will come to know who she is .”

That night , Drowpath lying near Bheem , got up & looked around . Taking him granted for sleeping , She crept out silently . Eagerly Bheem too got up & followed Her . Then Sri Krishna also joined him . In the midst of the river of theblood , there was an enormously big Visvaroop of jyothi of agni , standing high touching the sky . Sri Krishna pointed out this figure to Bheem and said “ Bheem ! She IS your Pathni Dhrowpath ! “ Bheem , who didn’t have fear of anything in this world , trembled heavily at the sight of this fierce Visvaroopa & became like a psychic by this heavy shock . “ He Krishna ! Keshava ! What is this ? I can’t trust my own eyes ! I can’t understand anything of thses ! Please tell me everything without hiding anything ! “ He begged Him very politely , troubled with fear . 

Sri Krishna explained him with his divine smile “ Bheem ! Tonight , while eating our dinner you are aware that , Dhrowpath glanced at me sideways , wasn’t it ? In return , I too gave her signal through my eyes . At once , She poured a little water at my dinner leaf . Do you know the very meaning of it ? 

‘ In these 17 days of cruel war of this kurukshethra , I have almost destroyed all . I have destroyed lakhs of people . I shal destroy that cruel Dhurydhan too in tomorrow’s war positively . Should I leave alone these Pancha Pandavas alive or destroy them all too ? “ So Devi asked me , through Her side glance . 

I replied Her through the signal of my eyes ‘Long ago I had promised Sahadeva that I would certainly save & protect all these five pandavas . Hence , please , leave these five alive ! “ To emphasise that alone I signaled Her indirectly . Devi [oured a little water at my dinner leaf . Pouring water , is equivelant to make a promise . You threw dirt & dust on Her chastity , because , you couldn’t understand this . 

Dhrowpat – She was born out of Fire ; born only to reduce the heavy weight of this world . You have seen Her Visvaroop in the battle field , isn’t it ? She ALONE is the Parashakthi . She is in the form of EVERYTHING ! When she comes back here now , bow down to her & request to grant you boons ! “ Sri Krishna advised with His divine smile ! He alone is eligible to ADVISE ! Because KRISHNAM VANDHE JAGATH GURUM ; HE IS the first & the best GURU of this Universe !
