KARNA v/s ARJUNA – (Mental Power)

According to original ved vyass Mahabharata, Karna was the most brilliant person having memory strong enough to surpass curses and illusions. In contrast, Arjuna was mentally weak person having poor memory power to gain any knowledge. He was also illiterate like his SSC failed English killer followers. He had many weapons but he was unable to shoot any weapon due to memory loss and lack of skill. Ved vyass describes some mental disorders of arjuna like

 

a) Ignorant (मंदबुद्धि)

b) Parkinson’s disorder (Memory loss)

PART -1 : MENTAL POWER OF KARNA

A) KARNA WAS THE ONLY HUMAN WHO WAS CAPABLE TO SURPASS THE CURSE LORD PARSHURAMA  BY HIS MENTAL POWER

BORI Critical Edition –

Karna Parv, Section-67

Translation by B.Debroy –

At that time, the earth trembled and the son of a suta became confused in the battle. Because of the brahmana’s curse, the chariot was whirled around in the encounter.Because of Rama’s curse, the weapons no longer manifested themselves.

|

Translation by B.Debroy –

Karna trembled. However, he exhibited great capacity. Using his strength, he invoked brahmastra.

EXPLAINATION –

As per effect of curse of Parshurama, Karna forgot all his destructive weapons be it Bhargavastra, Pashupatastra, Brahmastra or Brahmadand. However Karna exhibited great capacity of his mental power and managed to surpass the curse of lord parshurama. It must be note that anti-curse of parshurama also helped Karna to overcome curse –No warrior will be equal to Karna in battle. As no one was equal to Karna and great exhibition of mental strength, Karna surpassed the curse of lord Parshurama. Karna is the ONLY warrior in entire history who surpass curse using his mind power

B) KARNA WAS THE ONLY HUMAN CAPABLE TO HURL BRAHMASTRA USING HIS MIND POWER (PEOPLE WERE EVEN UNABLE TO SHOOT FROM BOW)

BORI Critical Edition –

Karna Parv, Section-29

Translation by B.Debroy –

For the sake of victory, I will use my mental powers to hurl the brahmastra at Partha. It is unrivalled and is victorious. In the battle, he will not be able to escape from it, unless my wheels get stuck in uneven terrain.

EXPLAINATION –

It is said that Brahmastra was one of the most destructive weapon later shot by skilled arher. Poor archers like arjuna were unable to shoot it with great efficiency that why his all three brahmastras missed target and  failed to give small scratch to Karna or his chariot. It was pathetic failure of brahmastra of vimna partho. There are many ways to shoot brahmastra and shooting brahmastra by using mind alone is the most difficult way. Karna was the ONLY warrior who was mentally strong enough to hurl Brahmastra without bow by using his mental powers.

PART-2 : MENTAL POWER OF ARJUNA

A) ARJUNA WAS THE ONLY HUMAN WHO FORGOT PASHUPATASTRA AND AGAIN BEGGED FOR IT EVEN LORD SHIVA GOT TIRED AFTER GIFTING IT AGAIN AND AGAIN

BORI Critical Edition –

Drona Parv, Section – 57

Translation by B.Debroy –

He remembered the boon he had given him in the forest and how he had beheld Shankara. In his mind, he wished that all this might come true. Knowing what he desired, Bhava happily gave him the boon. He granted him the terrible pashupata and the fulfilment of his pledge.

EXPLAINATION –

On 13^th night, Arjuna approached lord shiva and again begged for Pashupatastra and boon to kill Jaydratha. Arjuna was such pathetic patient that he even forgot meeting with lord shiva. Lord shiva again granted Arjuna pashupatastra weapon however shiva never taught arjuna technique to shoot it (the reason he was unable to counter any weapon). Shiva himself granted arjuna boon to fulfil his vow about killing Jaydratha so unfair death of jaydrath happened as per boon of Shiva and his involvement in war as proxy of Arjuna.

B) ARJUNA WAS THE ONLY HUMAN WHO FORGOT WEAPONS IN FRONT OF CRUEL ROBBERS WITHOUT EFFECT OF ANY CURSE

BORI Critical Edition –

Mausala Parv, Section-8

Translation by B.Debroy –

He then thought of his weapons, but couldn’t remember them. In the engagement, he witnessed this great calamity of the strength of his arms having disappeared. The great and divine weapons no longer manifested themselves and he was ashamed

EXPLAINATION –

Arjuna had many weapons but he didn’t knew techniques to shoot many weapons and some escaped from his memory. When arjuna saw cruel robbers armed with wooden sticks, he forgot his all celestical weapons due to his mental inability. It seems like arjuna was planning to use Brahmastra to kill weaponless robbers. LOL. We all know what happened after all this…[Vimna partho heroic flight, Distance-1400 Km, Speed-200 Km/Hr]The text clearly says that arjuna was ashamed for his frustration

C) ARJUNA WAS THE ONLY HUMAN WHO FORGOT BHAGVAD GITA KNOWLEDGE  EXPOSED BY LORD KRISHNA HIMSELF AND EVEN LORD KRISHNA BEGAN TO CRY LIKE KID FOR WASTING HIS GITA KNOWLEDGE FOR SUCH HUMAN

 BORI Critical Edition –

Ashwamedha Parv, Section-16

 Translation by B.Debroy –

[Arjuna to Krishna]

With Krishna, Pandava Arjuna looked at that beautiful assembly hall and spoke these words. “O mighty-armed one! O son of Devaki! When the battle presented itself, I got to know about your greatness, the truth about your lordship and your form. O Keshava! Out of affection towards me, you spoke to me then. O tiger among men! However, my intelligence has been destroyed and I have forgotten everything. O lord! However, my curiosity about that truth has again been ignited. O Madhava! You will soon go away to Dvaraka.

[Krishna to Arjuna]

Having been thus addressed, the greatly energetic Krishna, supreme among eloquent ones, embraced Phalguna and replied in these words. “I made you listen to something that is eternal and secret. O Partha! That was about the nature of eternal dharma for all the worlds. I am greatly displeased that you have ignorantly not grasped what I told you. O Pandava! It is evident that you have not been faithful, or your intelligence is not adequate. That dharma is sufficient to obtain the state of the brahman. However, I am incapable of telling you everything in detail again. I immersed myself in yoga and told you about the supreme Brahman

EXPLAINATION –

Arjuna himself confessed that he was not intelligent thus it proves that last but not least arjuna admitted

his foolishness. Arjuna himself confessed that he FORGOT bhagvad gita and asked lord Krishna to 

recite bhagvad gita once again. Hearing these words, lord Krishna got angry and began to abused 

arjuna for wasting his valuable knowledge of bhagvad gita. As per lord Krishna, arjuna was ignorant  

(मंदबुद्धि), not intelligent-fool (मूर्ख) and faithless (बेवफ़ा). According to lord Krishna, arjuna indeed
cheated him and his knowledge of bhagvad gita. As per lord Krishna, IT WAS HIS MISTAKE TO 

IMPART KNOWLEDGE OF BHAGVAD GITA TO ARJUNA. Really shame on such person who 

caused supreme lord to cry due his mental illness. Lord Krishna never lamented for his decisions in his 

life except his decision to impart knowledge of bhagvad gita to Arjuna. LOL

________________________________________________________________________________

CONCLUSION -

Mental power of Karna – Surpass curses, surpass illusions, surpass Brahmatej

Mental power of Arjuna – Forgot bhagvad gita, forgot celestical weapons
