In Mahabharata, how did Bheeshma know that Karna was Kunti's son. Who revealed it to Bheeshma? Bhishma knew that Karna was the son of Kunti through Narada and Vedavyasa. When Karna came to visit Bhishma when he was on the bed of arrows, Bhishma tells him that is Kunti’s son. Hearing of Bhishma's slaughter that bull among men, viz., Radha's son (Karna), partially inspired with fear quickly came there. He beheld that illustrious hero lying on his bed of reeds. Then Vrisha (Karna) endued with great glory, with voice choked in tears, approaching that hero lying with eyes closed, fell at his feet. And he said,--O chief of the Kurus, I am Radha's son, who while before thy eyes, was everywhere looked upon by thee with hate!--Hearing these words, the aged chief of the Kurus, the son of Ganga, whose eyes were covered with film slowly raising his eyelids, and causing the guards to be removed, and seeing the place deserted by all, embraced Karna with one arm, like a si...

Who is the unluckiest character in Mahabharat? It's Bhanumati, Duryodhana's wife who was the unluckiest character within the Mahabharat. Bhanumati was an intelligent, lovely princess who was forcefully brought to Hastinapur by Duryodhan with Karna's help without her will from her own swayamwara. She had to marry Duryodhana though she didn't want to. Though Duryodhana respected and loved her, he did many bad things to others, the Pandavas. Draupadi vastraharan was the worst thing he asked to do and Bhanumati must have felt really bad as one woman but what could she do. Ultimately, her husband died and her son Lakshman too within the war. Her daughter Lakshmanaa was kidnapped by Sambaa and wasn't happy within her marriage. Bhanumati was broken and shattered after the war. She jumped into her husband's pyre. What had she done to get this misery within her life? She was pure and lovely, but why did destiny dupe her? She could have lived nicely but the palace of Hast...

All Osm Facts about Karn the surya putra Karna was conceived inside Kunti’s womb on the first day of Shukla Paksha in the month of Magha. Karna learnt the art of warfare from three preceptors, namely Drona, Kripa and Parashurama. Karna defeated Jarasandha in a wrestling bout. Karna received a divine spear known as Vasavi Shakti from Indra in exchange of his armour and earrings. Karna defeated all the kings in the swayambara of Kalinga princess Bhanumati. Notable kings who were defeated by him included Jarasandha, Shishupala, Nila and Rukmi. Karna conquered the entire earth for political expansion of Hastinapura. He defeated famous kings like Drupada and Bhagadatta en route to performing his world conquest. His world conquest is described in the original Mahabharata composed by Ved Vyasa. The flagpole of Karna's chariot was marked by the symbol of rope used for binding elephants. Karna caught the wheel of Lord Shiva known as Asani with his bare hands which was hurled by Ghatotkacha....

 _____      _________Karna’s Death:____________ His death was a result of a series of curses which he received in his life. Those curses were due to the misjudgment of the ones giving them. It was also due to his mother who did not care about her eldest son but was content with her 3 sons and 2 step-sons, though she came to plead to him before the day he was suppose to fight Arjun to not fight,but Karna said it was too late for her to recognize him as her son.It was also result of his giving up of his body Armour and earning with which he was born to Lord Indra who came disguised as a poor Brahmin. Karna use to pray to Sun God at every noon and he was famous for giving away anything that some asked from him at that time even if it may lead to his death. Indra capitalized on that nobility of karna and asked for his armour to save his son. Indra, shamed into generosity by Karna’s gesture, reciprocated by giving Karna the boon to use his most powerful weapon...

                            Karna and Arjun It would be right to say that their fight was much like two tigers fighting for their pride , only that in this case Karna knew the truth but Arjun didn’t. The hostilities between Karna and Arjun were since childhood were in when he heard his brother shone tell about Arjun piercing through the eyes of a fish. Karna retaliated that he could pierce through two eyes of the fish with just one shot. The Arjun’s humiliation of karna again and again by calling him the son of a mere charioteer or shurdra ( lowly ranked Servant ) who DARED to fight the kshatriyas or warrior tribe men made the blood of karna boil. Then the biggest reason fight between them is Draupadi (who I think was born just to get Mahabharat started with absolute egoism) Many have said Karna was wrong in calling Draupadi a whore while she was being stripped by Durshasan. He said that saying that a wome...

Draupadi and karna The problem with Draupadi was that she was as flawed as Kunti but with loads of EGO inside her. (It seems to me that it was karna’s fate to have such flawed women in his life even though his quality as man was what women always wish in a son or a husband) It is said that when Draupadi was once praying for a husband, she asked that her husband be: 1) Righteous and good 2) Strong and brave 3) A great warrior 4) Good looking 5) Handsome Lord Shiva told her that no one man can have all the 5 qualities. But as usual Drupadi highly  stubborn and egoistic  would not relent, Lord Shiva granted her wish. Except she had to be the wife of 5 brothers- each Pandav brother had one of the qualities she desired. Yudhistra (righteous and good) Bheem (strong and brave) Arjun (a great warrior) Nakul and Sahdev (good-looking/handsome). However it is said, Karna had all these 5 qualities- he was after all technically the eldest of Kunti’s son . When he we...

Teachings and the curse by Parshuram: As Karna grew up, he became more interested in the art of warfare than in merely being a charioteer like his father Adhirata. Karna met Dronacharya, who was an established teacher in the art of warfare. Dronacharya taught the Kuru , but refused to take Karna as his student, since Karna was a son of a charioteer and Dronacharya only taught Kshatriyas, or warriors. (another case of elitism in education system and deep arrogance) After being refused by Dronacharya, Karna sought his brother Shona’s help. But in Indian culture, to learn an art you must have a teacher, so Karna appointed the sun god as his first taecher, learned to wield his weapons during the day by gathering information about the various weapons and practiced with them after sundown. Karna was keen to acquire the Brahmastra mantra from the great teacher Parshuram.  HowPrincessever, he knew that Parshuram gave instructions to Brahmins (the priestly tribe) only (call...

                              Karna’s Birth  : When Kunti called Sun god with a mantra to test the validity of the mantra, which was provided to her by a sage who was happy with her service towards her when the sage came to her palace (after all the women empowerment and liberation are key factors here) she got scared and wanted the Sun God to go away, but he pleaded his helplessness against the power of mantra. (she was one with captivating spell) Surya dev  (or Sun God) however assured Kunti that even after being blessed with a son, she would still remain a virgin and would not have to suffer any opprobrium. And so Karna was born with kavach and kundal (armor which would make him invincible). Kunti was nevertheless afraid of social stigma and therefore she abandoned the child. She put Karna in a basket and placed the same in the Ganges river, the basket was seen by Adhirath, a charioteer,...

        KARN' Story The story of Karna has to do a lot with how a girl’s curiosity for a “gift” led her to a miserable life which became a curse not only for her but also for her great son whose life was plagued with injustice. It can aptly be said that it is a story of a tragic hero who had royal blood in him but was never considered royal; leave aside the respect and honour he deserved. It is a story in which a warrior gave his life for friendship, even though it meant being on the opposite side of his brothers the Pandavas(who knew nothing of karna’s existence till he was killed by one of them, namely Arjun). More notably it is a story of a great soul who was a great philanthropist and in one instance gave away his very protective body armor (‘Kavacha’) and a pair of earrings (‘Kundala’), which he was born with.( which the sun god, his father had given to him so that he could not be killed by anyone.) Kunti: The story of karna cannot begin ...
