WHO WAS THE REAL "KHALNAYAK" (VILLAIN) OF MAHABHARATA?

WHO WAS THE REAL "KHALNAYAK" (VILLAIN) OF MAHABHARATA??

SHAKUNI,DUSHASENA,DURYODHANA OR "SOMEONE ELSE"... For this answer we have to read the entire Mahabharat to gain this answer.

But name takes the cake if we study this text in detail.

THE LORD WAS WILLING TO TO FOGIE ALL BUT HE SPECIFICALLY INSTRUCT ARJUNA NOT TO SHOW ANY MERCY TO ADHARMI KARNA?

WHY DID LORD KRISHNA ASKED ARJUNA TO SLAY KARNA WHEN HE WAS RAISING HIS SUNKEN CHARIOT!!

MANY CLAIM PANDAVAS & LORD KRISHNA DID CHEATING WITH KARNA.

BUT THESE IGNORANT & HIJACKED PEOPLE OFTEN FORGET THE FACT THAT IT WAS KARNA WHO FIRST STARTED THIS TALE OF CHEATING,ATTROCIOUS ACTS ,ABUSE & EVIL PLOTTINGS AGAINST PANDAVAS.

OF COURSE AFTER WHICH TIME,DESTINY & HISTORY REPEATED ITSELF & KARNA TASTED THE FLAVOUR OF HIS OWN MISDEEDS & EVIL PLOTTINGS!

Bhajan

jo jaisa boye beej yaha karni ka

jo jaisa boye beej yaha karni ka

waisa hi wo phal pata

dusro ke ghar me aag lagane wala

khud hi usme jal jata

jo boye beej yaha karni ka

dhul uchali to sar pe giregi

bande na itna bhul

kankar ke badle pathar milega

kate ke badle sul

jo jaisa apna khata dikhata

wo waisa hisab chukata

dusro ke ghar me aag lagane wala

khud hi usme jal jata

jo jaisa boye beej yaha karni ka

waisa hi wo phal pata

dusro ke ghar me aag lagane wala

khud hi usme jal jata

jo boye beej yaha karni ka

EVEN TIME & DESTINY ALSO BELIEVES IN "TIT FOR TAT"..JAISI KARNI WAISI BHARNI (AS YOU SOW SO SHALL YOU REAP)..ITS EVEN MENTIONED IN BHAGVADA GITA & OTHER SCRIPTURES & THIS APPLIED EXACTLY IN THE CASE OF KARNA!!

INCIDENT 1-KARNA'S INVOLVEMENT IN THE POISONING OF BHEEM THE BROTHER OF Arjuna:

Some ignorant people have previously claimed that Karna even didnt know Duryodhana or Bheem at that time during childhood so how can he plot to poison Bheem..

This is however incorrect..Karna became friends with Duryodhana from the day when he came to Drona's Camp to learn archery & was rejected "Brahmastra" knowledge by Dronacharya..

Karna came to know about increasing Arjuna's popularity in archery among Kuru children & became jeolous of Arjuna & joined hands with Duryodhana,Dushasena & Shakuni for the common mission of destruction of Pandavas!!

"Some time after, Duryodhana again mixed in the food of Bhima a poison that was fresh, virulent, and very deadly.

But Yuyutsu (Dhritarashtra's son by a Vaisya wife), moved by his friendship for the Pandavas, informed them of this.

Vrikodara, however, swallowed it without any hesitation, and digested it completely. And, though virulent the poison produced no effects on Bhima.

"When that terrible poison intended for the destruction of Bhima failed of its effect, Duryodhana. Karna and Sakuni, without giving up their wicked design had recourse to numerous other contrivances for accomplishing the death of the Pandavas.

And though every one of these contrivances was fully known to the Pandavas, yet in accordance with the advice of Vidura they suppressed their indignation.

EVEN LORD KRISHNA ASKED KARNA WHERE HIS VIRTUE WAS GONE WHEN HE PLOTTED WITH DURYODHANA TO POISON BHIMASENA!

Okay accepted Karna was a child & was immature when he did this sin.

But what about the incidents when Karna was an adult & mature enough to differentiate between good & bad!!

Next INCIDENT 2-

KARNA'S INVOLVEMENT IN LAKSHAGRIHA PLOT:

KARNA JOIN HANDS WITH DURYODHANA & SHAKUNI TO BURN PANDAVAS ALONG WITH THEIR MOTHER KUNTI ALIVE IN HOUSE OF WAX ...CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!

KARNA CHERISHED THE PLOT OF BURNING AN OLD INNOCENT WOMAN & HIS OWN MOTHER 'KUNTI' ALIVE IN LAKSHAGRIHA!!

NARRATIVE:

VYAS SAYS said, 'O chastiser of all foes, listen to me, O monarch, as I recite the (history of the) burning of the house of lac and the escape of the Pandavas.

The wicked Duryodhana, beholding Bhima Surpass (everybody) in strength and Arjuna highly accomplished in arms became pensive and sad.

Then Karna, the offspring of the Sun, and Sakuni, the son of Suvala, endeavoured by various means to compass the death of the Pandavas.

The Pandavas too counteracted all those contrivances one after another, and in obedience to the counsels of Vidura, never spoke of them afterwards.

VYAS SAYS, "King Dhritarashtra whose knowledge only was his eyes, on hearing these words of his son and recollecting everything that Kanika had, said unto him, became afflicted with sorrow, and his mind also thereupon began to waver.

Then Duryodhana and Karna, and Sakuni, the son of Suvala, and Duhsasana as their fourth, held a consultation together.

Prince Duryodhana said unto Dhritarashtra, 'Send, O father, by some clever contrivance, the Pandavas to the town of Varanavata. We shall then have no fear of them.'

EVEN LORD KRISHNA ASKED KARNA WHERE HIS VIRTUE WAS GONE WHEN HE PLOTTED TO BURN THE SLEEPING PANDAVAS ALIVE IN VARNAVRATA:

NARRATIVE:

You set fire to the house of lac at Varanavata for burning to death the sleeping Pandavas. Whither then, O son of Kunti, had this virtue of thine gone?

LORD KRISHNA ALSO REMINDED ARJUNA THAT KARNA WAS THE "ROOT" OF LAKSHAGRIHA PLOT TO BURN PANADAVAS ALONGWITH THEIR MOTHER ALIVE IN VARNAVRATA (LAKSHAGRIHA):

NARRATIVE:

The wicked-souled Karna is the root, O Arjuna of unfading glory, of that attempt, O sinless one, made in the night for burning thy mother with all her children.

INCIDENT 3- AFTER HEARING THE NEWS OF PANDAVAS BEING ALIVE,HERE IS THE REACTION OF KARNA:

NARRATIVE:

Hearing that the sons of Pritha Kunti  are alive, the citizens and other subjects of the realm have become exceedingly glad and eager for beholding them.

O monarch, act in a way that is agreeable to them. Duryodhana and Karna and Sakuni, the son of Suvala, are sinful, foolish and young; listen not to them.

INCIDENT 4- KARNA REJECT PEACE DEAL OF GIVING HALF KINGDOM TO PANDAVAS AS PROPOSED BY LORD KRISHNA & ADVICES DURYODHANA OF WAGING A FULL BLOWN WAR AGAINST PANDAVAS:

Karna said:

Therefore, I do not think that the Pandavas can now be injured by any subtle means in thy power.

But, O bull amongst men, this is what is good and advisable for us now, viz., to attack and smite them till they are exterminated.

Let this course recommend itself to thee.

As long as our party is strong and that of the king of the Panchalas is weak, so long strike them without any scruple.

O son of Gandhari, as long as their innumerable vehicles and animals, friends, and friendly tribes are not mustered together, continue,

O king, to exhibit thy prowess. As long as the king of the Panchalas together with his sons gifted with great prowess, setteth not his heart upon fighting with us, so long, O king, exhibit thy prowess.

And, O king, exert thy prowess before he of the Vrishni race (Krishna) cometh with the Yadava host into the city of Drupada, carrying everything before him, to restore the Pandavas to their paternal kingdom.

Wealth, every article of enjoyment, kingdom, there is nothing that Krishna may not sacrifice for the sake of the Pandavas.

The illustrious Bharata had acquired the whole earth by his prowess alone. Indra hath acquired sovereignty of the three worlds by prowess alone.

O king, prowess is always applauded by the Kshatriyas. O bull amongst Kshatriyas, prowess is the cardinal virtue of the brave.

Let us, therefore, O monarch, with our large army consisting of four kinds of forces, grind Drupada without loss of time, and bring hither the Pandavas.

Indeed, the Pandavas are incapable of being discomfited by any policy of conciliation, of gift, of wealth and bribery, or of disunion.

 Vanquish them, therefore, by thy prowess. And vanquishing them by thy prowess, rule thou this wide earth. O monarch, I see not any other means by which we may accomplish our end.'

This and for many other reasons we understand this was the play of the lord Karna was choses as the instrument of Greed which ultimately causes one destruction.

Bhajan:
