Mahabharat - A different point of view - Part 2

Image
Ok continuing from previous post. गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुर्गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः । गुरुरेव परं ब्रह्म तस्मै श्रीगुरवे नमः We believe Guru is parallel to god. We do respect our teachers. But as per me, Dronacharya is the most partial Guru or teacher I have ever seen. He always gave preference to Arjuna rather than his own son Ashwatthama. Ashwatthama was a blessed child. Almost immortal. He had a diamond on his forehead. This diamond was destroyed by Krishna and cursed him to be immortal till the end of the world with lot of sufferings. (Will talk about this too in next post ;-) ) Dronacharya even refused Eklavya to teach archery. But Eklavya was very dedicated. He created statue of Dronacharya and started learning himself thinking his guru is with him. Due to his dedication, Lord shiva got impressed. He taught eklavya from the statue of Dronacharya. But again, I hate this person. Eklavya after completing his studies, went to Dronacharya, to give him GuruDakshina. Dronacharya ask

Mahabharat - A different point of view - Part 1

From my childhood, I have been reading as well as listening stories from my parents about Mahabharat. Recently I have got a best friend who is also my colleague. We often talk about Ramayan, Mahabharat and our favourite topic is Krishna of course. As I said in my previous post, Without Him it was impossible for Pandavas to win Mahabharat. My friend says, Bhishma Alone would have finished the game till lunch time on the first day itself. But it was Krishna, and his strategies which led to victory of Pandavas. But in this article I am not going to talk about the goodness of pandavas, or Krishna or his powers. Lets think Mahabharat in a different angle. If Bhishma would have come to throne rather than Dhritarashtra, Mahabharat would'nt have happened. Ok Leave it. Shakuni, King of Gandhar, was defeated by Bhishma and Pandu. Following is the story as per Wikipedia: It is said that in some military campaign of either Bheeshma, Pandu, or Shantanu, Gandhara came under attack from Hast

Krishna - The greatest mystery ever

Image
Their are too many unsolved mysteries in this world about which we keep on talking. Bermuda Triangle, Area 51, UFO etc. But Our Indian Mythology has a biggest mystery hidden which is next to impossible to be solved. He is Lord Krishna. So who was he? As we all know him as a god, Incarnation of Lord Vishna etc. He was a thief, politician, lover boy, mumma's boy, fantastic brother, great leader, philosopher, killer (Yes, he killed his own uncle. Of course for right cause), and what not. The list is unending. Whenever we read his story, we get something new about him, yet we dont know him completely. Their is one dialogue, when Krishna comes to abduct Rukmini, Arjun asks him, if her brother will identify him, as he comes in a disguise of a milkman. He says, no one yet, not even you have identified me, then how he will identify me. Thats his mystery. I have read about all other incarnation of Lord Vishnu. But Krishna is truly his complete form. His intelligence is unparalleled. Hi

Our Ancestors were apes ... Is it so???

Yes, Today I am going to touch a really controversial topic which I am listening as well as thinking about. We have been taught from school days, that Our ancestors were apes. Due to evolution in homo sapiens, the structure of apes slowly got converted to what we are today. Standing erect, no tail, no hair on body (their are still some hairy people among us ;-) ) etc. But is it so. My brain is still not ready to accept this theory. The basic question behind this is their still many apes present in this world, why didn't they got converted to humans. We can see monkeys in circus, that means they live with humans, eat with them. Why do they didnt got converted yet. I am not a scientist to make any such statement or present any theory regarding this. But as a common man, I think we are completely a different species or race altogether. Though we have resemblance with apes, they cannot be our ancestors. Secondly, the bullshit told to us regarding amoeba, from which all the speci
