Divine Intervention


While the *Battle of Kurushetra was             at its peak, Arjuna and Karna were fighting each other.* 

It was a battle to witness, a flurry of arrows were being exchanged, and even the Gods were witnessing this epic battle between the 2 warriors.

Arjuna would shoot his arrows and the impact of these arrows would be so much that Karna’s chariot would go back by 25-30 feet. People who witnessed this were amazed by the skills of Arjuna.

Karna was no less. When he shot arrows, Arjuna’s chariot would also shake and go back by 3-4 feet.

More than everyone, Krishna would applaud Karna every time his arrow hit Arjuna’s chariot. But *not once did He applaud Arjuna’s skills !*

At the end of the day, Arjuna asked Krishna: “Oh Lord, I have shot so many arrows at Karna’s chariot, it was being displaced like a feather in wind, but not once did you appreciate me. Rather, *you would appreciate his skill despite his arrows just displacing my chariot a little”.*

Krishna smiled and replied “Oh, *Arjuna, remember,*  _your chariot is protected by *Hanuman* at the top, on your flag, *Me as your charioteer* in the front and by *Sheshnag* at its wheels, yet the whole chariot would still sway and displace whenever the valiant Karna hit us with his arrows”._

“But *Karna’s chariot is not protected by any such force*, *_he is on his own, yet he fights valiantly”.*_ 

It is said that after the battle of Kurushetra was over, Krishna refused to get off the chariot till Arjuna got down. Once Krishna alighted from the chariot, it caught fire and turned to dust.

Krishna said _“Oh Arjuna, your chariot was destroyed by Karna a long time ago,_ it is I who was still protecting it.”

*“Never in your life have the arrogance to say that you have achieved big heights. If you have achieved something, it is the Divine Will,* it is the Divine Intervention that has always protected you, cleared your path and *given you the right opportunities at the right time” !*

An excerpt from the *Mahabharata*, which conveys an important message to mankind. 

Though simple, but a strong reminder to mankind.


जबकि * कुरुक्षेत्र का युद्ध अपने चरम पर था, अर्जुन और कर्ण एक दूसरे से लड़ रहे थे। *

यह गवाह की लड़ाई थी, तीरों की एक बाढ़ का आदान-प्रदान हो रहा था, और यहां तक ​​कि देवता 2 योद्धाओं के बीच इस महाकाव्य लड़ाई का गवाह बन रहे थे।

अर्जुन अपने बाण चलाएगा और इन तीरों का प्रभाव इतना होगा कि कर्ण का रथ 25-30 फीट पीछे चला जाएगा। जिन लोगों ने इसे देखा, वे अर्जुन के कौशल से चकित थे।

कर्ण भी कम नहीं था। जब उन्होंने तीर चलाया, तो अर्जुन का रथ भी हिल गया और 3-4 फीट पीछे चला गया।

हर किसी से अधिक, कृष्ण हर बार कर्ण की सराहना करेंगे जब उनका तीर अर्जुन के रथ से टकराया। लेकिन * एक बार उन्होंने अर्जुन के कौशल की सराहना नहीं की! *

दिन के अंत में, अर्जुन ने कृष्ण से पूछा: "हे भगवान, मैंने कर्ण के रथ पर इतने सारे तीर चलाए हैं, यह हवा में पंख की तरह विस्थापित हो रहा था, लेकिन एक बार भी आपने मेरी सराहना नहीं की। इसके बजाय, * आप उनके कौशल की सराहना करेंगे, भले ही उनके तीर मेरे रथ को थोड़ा विस्थापित कर दें। ”

कृष्ण ने मुस्कुराते हुए उत्तर दिया "ओह, * अर्जुन, याद रखना, * आपके रथ की रक्षा * हनुमान * द्वारा सबसे ऊपर है, आपके झंडे पर, * मेरे सारथी के रूप में * सामने और * शेषनाग के साथ * इसके पहियों पर, फिर भी पूरा जब भी वीर कर्ण ने अपने बाणों से हमें मारा तो रथ विस्थापित और विस्थापित हो जाएगा ”।_

"लेकिन" कर्ण के रथ को इस तरह के किसी भी बल द्वारा संरक्षित नहीं किया गया है, * _ वह अपने दम पर है, फिर भी वह बहादुरी से लड़ता है। "*

ऐसा कहा जाता है कि कुरुक्षेत्र का युद्ध समाप्त होने के बाद, कृष्ण ने अर्जुन के नीचे उतरने तक रथ को उतारने से इनकार कर दिया। एक बार जब कृष्ण रथ से उतरे, तो उन्होंने आग पकड़ ली और धूल में बदल गए।

कृष्ण ने कहा _ "हे अर्जुन, आपका रथ बहुत पहले कर्ण द्वारा नष्ट कर दिया गया था, _ यह वह है जो मैं अभी भी इसके बारे में था।"

* “कभी भी आपके जीवन में यह कहने का अहंकार नहीं है कि आपने बड़ी ऊंचाइयों को हासिल किया है। यदि आपने कुछ हासिल किया है, तो यह ईश्वरीय इच्छा है, * यह ईश्वरीय हस्तक्षेप है जिसने हमेशा आपकी रक्षा की है, अपना रास्ता साफ किया है और * आपको सही समय पर सही अवसर दिए हैं ”! *

* महाभारत * का एक अंश, जो मानव जाति के लिए एक महत्वपूर्ण संदेश देता है।

हालांकि सरल, लेकिन मानव जाति के लिए एक मजबूत अनुस्मारक।

China, the big bully

Big bully.  Indian and Chinese troops have been locked in a bitter military stand off in at least four areas in eastern Ladakh for a month.  While both countries have eventually held diplomatic talks to resolve the stand off by way of peaceful discussion, the bilateral relations continue to be at an all time low, say almost hostile. This development is not really new what  with our bigger neighbour being conniving since long and playing under-the-table politics.   China achieved super power status sometime recently largely by giving loans to poor, needy countries along with collateral and thus making a foothold within, when the borrowing countries are unable to repay the debt. China has used this tactic so often that today countries like Djibouti, Tonga, Maldives, Republic of Congo, Kyrgyzstan, Cambodia, Niger, Laos, Zambia, Samoa, Varuato, Mongolia, etc, owe debt of at least 20% of their nominal GDP to China. However no official data exists on the resulting deb...

Banks the new hub for Corona virus.

Banks would be a hub for Corona virus very soon. The rush in the banks have been increased manifold. Any one who visited any nationalised bank recently might have noticed this unusual crowd. The staff remain helpless to handle the excessive footfalls in the bank premises. Most of the people are visiting the branches just to inquire something. Some have been confused by fake news spread. Few reasons I found are: 1. To Inquire and avail a covid support loan. 2. To request for moratorium  3. NHG/SHG group loan inquiry as well as documentaion. 4. Balance enquiry 5. Pass book printing 6.To confirm receipt of Rs. 500 X 3 sent by Central Govt. 7.To confirm receipt of LPG grant of ujjwal yojana. 8. To confirm receipt of LPG Subsidy in accounts. 9. To confirm receipt of PM Kisan fund. 10. To confirm receipt of  scholarships in students account. 11. To confirm receipt of pension. 12. Adhaar seeding 13.A new rush started to open/ convert Jandhan Account as people started thinking that, n...

Hathraz Drama

  When I was in school, a product called “Fair and Lovely” was in the market. Even today it is in market. I don't know how many girls became fair. Some girls I have seen using it are still dark. Mera Soundarya ka Raaj “Hamam” every star from Madhubala, Hemamalini .... Have said it, today they are saying it for “Dove" It is called copywriting or narrative building. Depending on who does it. If an ad agency is doing it, it is called copywriting. If, a journalist is doing it is called narrative building. If people like Romila Thapar, or Irfan Habib do it they are called historians (state sponsored). Hindus had a tradition of Shruthi and Smriti. Hear and memorise. Hence, we know India existed before Mugals and British. Out of 51 old civilization only one exists today according to UN. It is called Hindu Civilization. Most of our religious texts, still exists ever thought it was burnt by our conquerors. It is in memory of our people. Scientific evidence exists which says Maha...
