How was Krishna democratic in the story of Mahabharata
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Krishna in Mahabharata, always talked about dharma and adharma, but during the Kurukshetra war, he used deceit to kill most of the great warriors, such as Bhishma and Dronacharya. Did he not practice what he taught? Sadhguru: What Krishna did in the battlefield was not just deceit – it was absolute treachery.
This episode tells us the story of Krishna and Karna. Both of them had a very deep relationship. They are even considered as cousins. Karna respected Krishna’s authority, his words and his superior existence by heart. Karna is one of the clever characters in the Mahabharata.
The Mahabharata is an ancient Indian epic where the main story revolves around two branches of a family - the Pandavas and Kauravas - who, in the Kurukshetra War, battle for the throne of Hastinapura. Interwoven into this narrative are several smaller stories about people dead or living, and philosophical discourses. Krishna-Dwaipayan Vyasa, himself a character in the epic, composed it; as, according to tradition, he dictated the verses and Ganesha wrote them down.
Earlier in the Mahabharata, Duryodhana is said to be the incarnation of a demon. When Duryodhana refuses to give up any share of the kingdom, Krishna gives him an ominous forewarning, ‘To get the sleep [death] of a hero is your desire and it will be fulfilled. There will be a great massacre’ (Udyoga Parva, Ch.128.2).
