Parshuram Shishyaha Karnah...

Suto va sut Putro vayo

Vakova Bhavamyaham..

Karna, the son of Surya and Kunti. Kanti leaves Karna after his birth because she was not married and due to fear of society. She and her servant put him in a box and set him afloat on a river. And the box was found by the Adhiratha, a charioteer of king Dhritarashtra. He and his wife adopted him.

Karna was interested in archery from his childhood. He got his training for archery by Parashurama. Karna said to lie to him that he is a brahmin but actually he was a warrior. So Parashurama cursed him that when he actually in need of the knowledge he got that time it will not help him.

Karna was actually a Pandava but due to fear of society. Kanti does not accept him in his childhood but when he came back again in her life she accepted him.

Today we try to learn some lessons from the legendary warrior of Mahabharata who has suffered a lot in his life but he never gets anything easily. He never gives up in his whole life in fact on his last day when his chariot Stuck. He goes and tries to get out from that and he killed by his younger brother

(1) Stay committed but make a cross-check:-

Karna was so committed forward his friend that he was ready to fight with his own brothers. But in actuality, he knows that his friend Duryodhan was wrong but still he supports him until his last breath. He knows that in his bad time his friend has saved him.

(2) Benevolent to others but not on the cost of your priorities:-

Karna was a benevolent type of person and he never returns anyone back with empty hand who came to him for asking for help. Indra, the king of heaven and biological father Arjun. Same to Karna to ask for his armor and earrings which act as a shield for Karna in battle and attached to his body after him. He doesn’t think for a second and he gave it to Indra. And in battle, he was killed by Arjun.

(3) Take your friend (or stop him)to go on the wrong track:-

Karna knows that Duryodhana is wrong but he never try to shop him and he also goes in the same direction as him like in Draupadi Cheer Haran. He does not stop Duryodhan for not doing that thing.

(4) Don’t let others success define your goals:-

Karna was comparing himself with Arjun. It was not good that your goals are defined by the success of other people. Being inspired by others is good but inspiration never defines one’s goals.

(5) Use opportunities not only for self but for others also:-

Karna, it as criticized by society Sutputra and back for that he has learned archery and got knowledge from Parshuram swapping that he is a Brahmin son because Parshuram has killed all warriors for 21 times from the Earth. and decided that the news taught to any warriors. After Karna became King of a but he sticks to comparison but he can us develop and Educate the community from which he himself is belonging.

Karna was more favorites to Shri Krishna as compared to Arjun. but due to his commitment towards Duryodhana his destiny.

There are many examples which show mistakes made by the character and it gives us the indirect message that “We made such mistake you don’t repeat that in your life”.every character of Myth teach us something now and then.

At the final stage of Karna life, he was confused about what he achieved and about he proved himself or not? but Krishna has clear the doubt that he lost his Knowledge (due to cured), his chariot's wheel is stuck and he has no weapons. In this situation the Shri Krishna himself allows Arjun to kill him which is against the ethics. This will prove his abilities on the Earth.
