Lone Wolf Posted October 21 Posted October 21 (edited) 10 minutes ago, Chaos said: indrajit was given “almost” an invincible being. But the major flaw in his boon was showering in golden lake before wars. In that water n meditation he is mere mortal. Gods dont give boons without loop holes. No one will have time for meditation in water when enemies r inside ur fort. So people with brains killed him assisted by vibhishana strategy n knowledge. In some sources it is listed that many rules were broken to kill him.. Initially the plan was to kill him in the cave where he worshipped his Kul Devi (nikumbha yajna)... He was ambushed but he fought his way through using pots and pans.. attack even included Surgivia Angad and lord Hanumana. And enemies were not inside his fort... Uniquely only Vibhishan knew about the location of the cave. Some sources say that lord Lakshmana was uniquely equipped to kill him as he hadn't slept for 14 years... And during Meghnad successful campaign in Naaglok he was cursed to be killed by someone of this ability. Lot of things had to go right to kill him. He was nearly invincible.

He was nearly invincible. nearly “invincible” but was slained. So point is when someones time comes up, its up. God doesnt give a boon with out loop holes. There is always a loop hole for good of the entire universe. Lone Wolf 1
Lone Wolf Posted October 21 Posted October 21 7 minutes ago, Chaos said: weapon with no mind is useless. Just like how krishna made ghatokacha fight n duryodan made karna use that weapon on him. So weapon with no brainless mind is easily avoidable. But imagine Indrajit in that situation over Karna.. he could have ended the war there and then. He probably would use Vasavi Shakti on all of the brothers. It's a dedicated single kill shot weapon with no chance of survival. Karna only had one shot and that was wasted on Ghatotkacha.

And there is always a way to kill a mortal. His time was up.

Karna only had one shot and that was wasted on Ghatotkacha. then krishna will interfere. No chance he would even enter battlefield. Sri krishna would have plotted something even before he enters in battle fields. We r talking about different yugis. So cant bring indrajit in to mahabharath. Then rules would be different.

So its all gods play.

Lord Hanumana was in Mahabharata though indirect role. Of course it is a hypothetical scenario. It's a usual phenomenon that power levels decrease with each Yuga. Folks in Treta Yuga (Ramayana) were more powerful than the ones in Dwapara(Mahabharata) Even calibre of Brahma Rishis like Vashisht and Vishwamitra was unmatched... Compared to the ones after them.

So its all gods play. Arjuna has defeated Karna with Kwacha and Kundal in Virat War before Mahabharata. Karna's realistic shot to kill Arjuna was always with Vasavi Shakti. And lord Krishna knew it... As you said it was all God's play in the end.

But he was asked for right thumb by guru drona and krishna himself (eklavya is blood related to him) slained him knewing he will be dangerous to arjuna in mahabharatha. Edited October 21 by Chaos

He hsd brain cells of bikaristan people. 100+ advices to advicesto ignore war. With no celestical powers minus chest armor he was nobody ego dumb ass
Stan AF Posted October 25 Posted October 25 https://www.youtube.com/@PenBhakti Youtube link of the OG BR Chopra 1988 masterpiece. Started last week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnXkv_ozPQw&t=2265s I'm privileged to say i was one among the fortunate ones to watch this on Sunday morning when it aired in the 90s. We used to run home after church to see this every Sunday back then. I'm at the tenth episode now where it's supposed to be the birth of Krishna episode. I only realized now that Bheesmar was portarayed by Mukesh Khanna. Too young at that time. I will completely finish watching this entire series of nearly 100 episodes. Lord and nevada 2

bsriharsha Posted October 26 Posted October 26 The animated Netflix series is pretty alright too. Close to the source material. Animation might not be everyone's cup of tea but it's probably good for kids to see the series in an 18 episode format rather than not see it at all. Lord 1
Lord Posted October 26 Posted October 26 One thing that I observed Everyone doing or siding with wrong has his comeuppance. Whether it’s Duryodhana, Bheeshma or Drona etc. But why is Yudhisthira considered Dharmaraj even after indulging in gambling and betting off his wife, watching silently as she’s stripped in open court? Where’s his karma?

Where’s his karma? Yudhistira suffered the most. He saw all his family members die in front of him, leaving him alone to bear all the pain. Even his brothers and Draupadi died in front of him.
