An Episode from Mahabharata - I am feeling sick

        Hope this nine day of fasting and worship to Maa Aumba will bring peace to everyone life. Happy Ram Navmi to all. Ram Navmi is celebrated as Born of Bhagwan Ram. I Personally think that there is lot more to learn from our Ancient Indian Epic, Hindu Epic "Ramayan " Than Mahabharata. These days I am following Mahabharata on Star Plus. I was thinking to ask my daughter to see the mahabharat and understand what our culture was. Thank God I didn't make her watch it. There is nothing good to learn from Mahabharat. They are in Adhyay 3 right now, where dice game was played and where Yudhister lost everything along with his own Brother and wife Panchali, Drupadi was insult, by Duryodhan saying she is whore, and Karna says prostitute  and she was dis-robed in Court in front of all her Elders of Family. Even king of Hastinapur didn't stop his son for doing this Adharam. No doubt that Yudhistier has lost everything and they where slave, when comes to disrobed of drupadi, which was completely wrong. This incident could have stopped and she could have not gone through that Trouma, if that Blind man have stopped his wicked son, but no, instead he ordered drupadi that she has to obey duryodhan order as he win her in game. come on, you sick man.....When I was watching this whole episode, I guess my blood was boiling, couldn't take it. It was pity moment for Drupadi, having five husband, still helpless. In today's date, its same thing going on too. Every another day, we get to read, or see in news about rape or humiliation of women. Nothing has change. In today's world too, there are many Duryodhan and Dushasan roaming to dis-robed women. 

These earth is an interesting place because we all are different than each others. Not only the individuals differ from each others, within an individual also there are different layers of personality which are difficult to understand. We cannot paint the canvas of life entirely black or white. It has different shades and many times these shades cannot be expressed in words. Here is a para which I read it today and thought to put it over here 

Mahabharata tries to capture this eternal drama of human life very effectively. ‘Bhagavad Gita’which is a part of Mahabharata tries to explain it's conspiracy, complication of human nature as an interplay of three ‘Gunas’(qualities) i.e. ‘Sattavik’ (Good), ‘Rajasik’ (Passion) and ‘Tamasik’(Dullness). All these ‘Gunas’ are present in everybody in different combinations. At a particular time one of the ‘Guna’ predominates and under its influence we think and behave.

Under the influence of the ‘Sattavik’, man thinks good thoughts and performs good deeds, which brings peace and happiness. Under the influence of the ‘Rajasik’, man is restless and drive into action with the selfish desires and the ‘Tamasik’creates dullness and inactive. As these ‘Gunas’ are present in us in different combinations, we find that the characters in the Mahabharata behaves differently at different times under their influence. An extremely good person like Yudhishthira comes under the influence of ‘Rajasik’ and ‘Tamasik’ and devotee himself willingly in gambling and looses everything including his wife. I will say to perform and follow his righteous duty, he did unrighteous to his wife and his brother. 

I am still in questions ???? that there were many Elders like Bhishma Pita, Guru Dron, Mahamantri Vidur, Mata Kunti, Queen Gandhari and his Blind Husband (sorry to address him blind, but i guess everything happen because of him only) .didn't stop this incident. 

Why could they not stop Wicked Duryodhan for doing injustic to Pandavas.

Why was Mata Kunti and Gandhari unaware that Duryodhan has ordered Dushashana to disrobed Drupadi !!!! After all they were women too, why didn't they listen plinth of Drupadi

Why all her 5 husbands who were also known as a powerful man, were not able to protect their Wife !!!

After watching today's Eposide, I am not at Peace..not at all. 

Sad Me :(
