Krishna was just a messenger and not yet a God (Gita Dhyanam 0.4). The Indo-Aryan Gods who witnessed the war were 1. Brahma 2. Varuna 3. Indra 4. Rudra
@@charlesdarwin5185 Krishna is def THE god. Gita Dhyanam 0.4 say he's the knowledge giver not the messenger. Initial prayer verses of Bhaghavath Geetha are the verses of "Gita Dhyanam". Where ever Krishna said something in "Bhaghavath Geetha" it starts with "Sri Bhaghavan Uvacha" meaning "The Bhaghavan/God said".
@@rohanraghuram9635 According to Harivamsha, Ekalavya used to live in Dwarka before Krishna transferred the Mathura citizens to Dwarka. Ekalavya challenged Krishna for a battle. It was a straight fight. Krishna defeated Eklavya, who was also siding with Jarasandha. Sri Krishna liked Arjuna. This is also a fact.
The most evil thing ever done by master Dronacharya was to get the thumb of genius archer Eklavya severed in the name of Guru Dakshina bcoz he belonged to Nishad clans who resided in Magadha (currently Bihar state).Imagine if Eklavya's thumb was never chopped off then he might have saved Abhimanyu (the son of Pandava archer prince Arjuna) from the ghastly encircling booby trap (Chakravyuh) made by Kauravas during the war of Mahabharata.
if he fought mahabharatha, then he would have joined Kauravas. Not Pandavas. Reasons. 1. Duryodhana will embrace skills and skilled people , where as Arjuna never want anybody superior to him. 2. Ekalaiva guru Dronacharya is in the Kaurava side. So naturally he would have join Kauravas. So there is no question of saving Abhimanyu. The problem with Duryodhan side is that the commanders of Duryodhan(Bhisma, Drona, Karna), never want to kill any Pandava brothers(not even any one of Pandavas). The commanders want to gave the life in battle instead of bringing victory to Duryodhan. Even we can say, No body killed their brothers (from Karna, Yuthistir, Nakula, sakadev, even Duryodhan and his brothers). . Arjuna killed Karna without knowing that he was his brother. Only Bhima killed all his brothers(Kauravas are his brothers only). That is why he was called as rudra.
Bro he won't join pandavas, rather join kauravas because nishad clan supported jarasandh who were the enemies of hastinapur. Also he was killed by krishna because he attacked dwarka
Even if he doesn't loose his thumb, he was duty bound to his own father and his allys and attacked krishna by supporting jarasanda. Not to forget how gr8 may be u r.. if u r siding with adharma u have to loose. That to when u challenge avtar of God then u have to die how gr8 anchor may be u r.
For everyone commenting that Arjuna was wrong. Well all this happened when Arjuna and Eklavya both were children. It is actually the mature adults who should take responsibility and in this case was dronacharya.
100%, Drona should go fuck himself for it, if anything he shouldve proved he was a better teacher to Arjuna by making him a better archer instead of stifling Eklavya's growth. Where is the punishment for that?
This makes me really sad and angry! The lesson I Iearnt from this is don't be too nice and straight like Eklavya because then people will hurt and take advantage of your niceness by asking for your thumb. Eklavya should have said to Dhrona that you did not accept me as your student and nor did you actually teach me, so how the hell can you ask for a fee or guru dakshina?!?!!?!
It's not about being to nice. Knowledge should be given. He stole the knowledge be secretly looking at dronacarya teachings. You cannot steal knowledge, it should be given. You should be worthy of receiving that knowledge.
@@Aravinda108 Even if he stole the knowledge, even then the punishment was so harsh that you wonder what kind of person and Guru Dhrona was, to ask a child for his thumb! Also like "stanleyraphael610" said that worthiness of knowledge is determined by keenness of learning sincerely and earnestly, not by status and bloodline. The great warrior Karan was also discriminated against because of status and bloodline and so I feel sorry for great warriors like Karan and Eklavya.
@@stanleyraphael610Not because of his bloodline, he was a cousin of Krishna himself. He was from Nishada clan which supported Magada and Jarasandha, who was the biggest threat to Kuru. Drona was a native of Kuru so if he had taught Ekalavya archery then it would have been a Deshdroh. There is no mention in Mahabharata thqt is Drona refused to teach him because he is from any lower caste, instead of that it is said in Mahabharata that he was the King of Nishada clan. And also Mahabharata clearly mentions that Drona already given his words to Arjuna that he will make Arjuna the greatest archer of world. So when he got understand Ekalavya can defeat Arjuna he refused. So here are multiple problems and layer to this situation but nowhere caste was a problem.
Hi! i can only tell you one thing for your sake, Please DO NOT rely on such videos, they contain half truth and half lie. Read the original Vyas Mahabharath for your self. then, no one can manipulate you. The comment you commented on this after just viewing this video is the kind of dangerous damage that has been happening since decades. read for yourself and enlighten yourself. Hare Krishna.
Pure evil. Refusal of true earnest desire to master an art, because of his origins and a child's jealousy. Then mutilation of an innocent to keep true to a boast. Then murder of this innocent who had been wronged by God? Never.
Ekalavya will be threat to Krishna??? Are you comparing a tiny drop of water to ocean. Dharma is very important and whoever stood against it will fall. Story narrated is good. But you need to consider geopolitical situation at that time too. Dhrona didn’t just ask thumb because of Arjuna but consider Nishad kingdom being enemies of Kuru kingdom and Ekalavya learning skills by watching him teach Arjuna in secrecy. Anything not learned in the right way will not last (same as Karna).
I think you have misunderstood. Ekalavya was the student of Drona. Otherwise his words would have been true and he would not have needed to ask for his thumb. The fact that he asked for payment proves this fact. He was the student of Drona. It is not that he would be a problem to Krsna as Krsna killed him. Earlier it was stated that he was such a great archer that not only did he surpass Arjuna but he would be devastating in battle to even the Devas and Asuras. The battle was already stacked against the Pandavas in so many ways. Krsna was not fighting, only chariot driver. Still, with the power of Bhisma dev Krsna because so angry that he took up the wheel of a chariot to fight Bhishma himself and had to be pacified by Arjun. The point is that Krsna knew that it was beneficial for the victory of the Pandavas to take him out of the battle before it started. Still, we can understand that Krsna being the supreme personality of God head that nothing is beyond his control and anything he does has and severs multiple purposes. These kinds of actions that are difficult for us to understand can often be understood by knowing this is all Lila and to have complete understanding of all reasons and motivations of the Lord is not possible for simple jiva tatva like us. We are drops, Lord is ocean. This video is very good and informative. Ekalavya was student of Drona and to make his words true he needed to take his thumb. It appears that even Still Ekalavyas skills Still surprised the skills of Arjuna which then would have made Dronas words false which are a kin to lying. Perhaps this is also why Krsna kill him. Inorder to make Dronas words true. Krsna did this for his sincere devote Drona. There is nothing that Krsna will not do for his pure devotes this is why Krsna took up the wheel to fight Bhishma. He was will to do anything to help his devote Arjun. Even to brake his own words. However, Arjuna could not allow Krsna to do so because of his love for Krsna, he wanted to make sure the Lord kept his own promise. This is Lila. Jai sri Hari. Jai sri Krsna. ❤🕉🙏🏻
Your argument is right and I agree ,,,but you have too much ego that krishna is great but you shuld realise he is in everything including eklavya,,, so every drop of water makes a ocean no ocean is made without a drop of water
@@innovativegaming9767 every drop comes from the ocean and not every drop makes the ocean my friend. That’s the realisation of complete surrender to God
@@raghuramanr8070 in analogy of your concept,, non believer or is someone not into spirituality is not made by supreme divine or could he not be supreme divine himself ? just a simple question at the end our arguments made by us is just MAYA deviating us from the main goal that is SAT CHIT ANAND HARI AUM TAT SAT
So everybody is greater than Arjun? Even you and me? Please relax and stop these ridiculous stories. We know that everyone in kaurava camp were jealous of him, now this Kalyuga is filled with same kauravas still jealous of Arjun.
No explanation needed. 1) Everything belongs to Krishna (material possessions, skills etc). 2) He has given it to us for a purpose (to follow dharma) 3) He can take it away anytime (if used for unrighteous cause). Apply this philosophy in everything and you will have answers to all questions.
Story is right but it is half truth. The reason is not told only events are being told. Half knowledge is very dangerous and half truth is always bigger then a lie. Research before posting anything on social media as it will mislead and misunderstood to the people.
Just for general knowledge, just an example :- My uncle Bhaskar aunty Shoba, their son Siddharth acted as great devotees of Iskcon, but the truth is they were in Iskcon for free meals, free bed-rooms, free gifts from foreign friends....
People will present the rejection of Ekalavya and Karna by Drona Acharya on the basis of caste which was decided on the basis of birth. This episode has mislead and still misleading many people, because of concocted stories by few and due to some movie writers. If you read Mahabharata of Veda Vyasa, you will know Karna was also trained by Vyasa along with Pandavas and Kauravas. Arjuna was favourite student of Drona Acharya so he promised Arjuna that he will teach him everything he knew and make him the best Archer. Karna knew this so he approached Lord Parashurama to complete his Vidya. Drona did not accept Ekalavya firstly because he belonged to the kingdom of Jarasandha an enemy kingdom, secondly he found his nature to be obstinate, he was not an obedient, a quality that is highly required for someone to be the student. He did not reject because of dark sin or low birth. Many people had dark skin, Krsna, Vysa, Aswathama and many more had dark skin. It's was not due to caste either because Karna was his student as well.
He did not took the knowledge from drona he stole it, it is mentioned that he used to spy on drona while he taught the princes, taking the skill of a person without his permission is a crime and taking away his thumb took away his stolen knowledge.
@@TheLargeoldshoe oh really so it was the skill that a person from Pakistan went to Europe to work in a nuclear power plant and learned everything then fled to his country to tell them how to make a nuclear bomb, or an assistant of a scientist cheats his master and publish papers in his own name while stealing all knowledge form him. In today's time a case can be filled on both of these for doing a crime of violating copy right, similarly eklavya also stole the knowledge, drona had all right to decide who to give his hard earned knowledge.
@@legendary2269copying / duplicating is a skill too. It is as much needed as original invention. When it comes to security there is no bar on copying or recreating from first principles.
@@legendary2269 why u bringing pakistan in a mahavarat topic?😂. Also eklovya was a child when he seek for knowledge, drona already refused taking him as desciple so learning everything just by seeing from distance. I dont find it guilty not at all. Dhrona wasnt even a good teacher he only teach the best to the best while leaving out every1 else spacing. Thats y everybody hated arjun caz he was getting vip treatment✌️. For teacher there should b no favourite student. As for krishna he didnt care whether person good or bad he made sure who suppost to die should die n live to b live.

He was not a tribal nor Drona took his thumb. He was much older to Arjuna and was not his competitor. He was killed by Krishna because he was one of small clan lord who was supporting Jarasandh who was Krishna’s enemy. He was killed by Krishna in a battle. All tearjerker story is made up. He was biological son of one of Yadav clan member and was an adopted son of a king who was friend of Jarasandh. He was not a poor tribal but a rich prince
Why did Drona decide not to take him as a student, since Ekalavya also happened to be a prince, assuming he was of same Varna as the Pandavas and Kuru princes?
@@ARCPA1040 will the Indian Military Academy or NDA take a Pakistani? Eklavya was the son of Senapati of Magadha an enemy of Hastinapur. Dronacharya was a teacher of Hastinapur and his salary was paid by Hastinapur. Why should he teach anyone from outside?
From what i understand During Mahabharata whenever Krishna killed the people. The people he killed were anomalies, Take Barbarik for example, if he had entered the Battle field, even Krishna would've found it difficult to defeat him not cuz of Barbarik's strength but due to the divine Arrows he had. In my opinion Kauravas naturally were on the wrong, but that was only cuz of Draupadi's situation not the dice game itself, even pandavas weren't in the right not with the shit they pulled with Karna, and Eklaviya. Honestly it feels as the whole Mahabharata was Orchestrated by the gods for their entertainment rather than what other people describe.
How can we expect that from a kid who worshipped his teacher. He wanted to learn from his teacher but he was rejected. When he was told that he had to give guru dakshina he happily accepted. Because he can atleast have that privilege.
on the other hand, ekalavya's incident is possibly one of the first instances of _plagiarism_ and Drona's decision was perfect.... what is done with researchers who plagiarise works, please refer to the actual documents....
Haha PANDAVAS and their companions had much interested in taking opponents THUMB. FOREFINGER etc etc... as alm or as fee ... so on ... BEFORE WAR ... Because pandavas were strongest on earth WOW !!!
guru dron desereved the pain he went through in his life and now his son is dwelling as a leach on this earth - Dron must be seeing it and regretting how bad of person he was and how bad he made his son to be - Dron was exceptionally talented but failed in everything he ever tried
I don't understand why Arjuna is always mentioned as the best Archer ever..... When we see in multiple places that Eklavya & Karna were better than him. Even Dronacharya and Bheeshma were equals.
Your narrative shows you have yet not evolved out of the colonial mindset. You are trying to mimic the limitations of west to describe our history.. Arjun became Arjuna and so on! I hope you will recover soon and only after then you resume making content on our history
This video is driven by your own biased opinions and bears no relation to the story of the Mahabharat. The reasons you've provided are inaccurate and merely reflect personal viewpoints.
Dronacharya was not accomplished Guru.He had no shame asking for Dakshana from Ekalavya to whom he had refused to teach him.Dronacharya was cruel,dishonest person
BS BS BS. BS LOL EKLAVYA IS LIKE A DROP OF WATER IN OCEAN FOR KRISHNA OR ANY GODS. PROBABLY HE HAD HIS REASON WHICH WE DONT KNOW. AND YEAH BEING KILLED BY GOD WAS LIKE STRAIGHT DOOR TO HEAVEN 😂 SO IT WAS WIN FOR EKLAVYA. DISCLAIMER U ARENT GOD. 😂
Karna was a superior archer to Arjuna. Even Krishna acknowledged it and took pains to keep them apart until the final showdown and he had to interfere so that Arjuna would win. Anyone who is fair minded would realize what Drona did to Eklavya was unjust and terrible.
Untrue, when u r siding with adharma even if u r god u have to loose n die. Like karna died due to his own sins n errs. Krishna protected pandavas doesn't mean pandavas are nothing anyday they are more powerful than kaurava n karna boons n exceptional skills aquired in wrong means. E.g. karna acquired his skill with lies n deceit so he was cursed to loose them when In need of use. It's his own fate that killed him even before arjuna or krishna finished the job.
With all due respect this was an act of pure cowardice. Arjun was always a coward and over privileged. Karan, Ashwathama, Barbarika and Eklavya were all superior to him as Warriors, in archery and as men.
@@utkarshm2977 Arjun is the reason. He is one who found Eklayva practicing. See it he got afraid. Because Drona promised that he will be greatest archer. So he immediately went tell this to his teacher.
@@jackstuarts423 Arjun never even mentioned any kind of punishment for eklavya. Just telling Drona about eklavya doesnt mean he was afraid. Also, @jessesingh49 thinks karna, who had suggested that draupadi be disrobed is a better man than arjun. Truly shows the character you people have.
@@utkarshm2977 No Arjun is not one who tells the punishment. But he is the one asked his teacher if he really was the best then how another person is there. When his teacher asked him who he showed him the place of Eklayva.
Eklavya in reality was an illegitimate son of Devashravas, brother of Vasudev. That means in reality he is a cousin of Sree Krishna Vasudevaa .Krishna too like in case of Karna, offered him redemption! But he , out of enmity with Arjuna and allied with Jarasandh, refused ! Hence, his termination was necessary. Important thing is he ruled from Sringavera , the same area where Lord Ram and NishadRaj Guha met. So it is another fact, that Lord Ram being friends of Nishadas in 1 birth, is balanced by Lord Krishna, being their foe , in the next genesis 😊😊😊
Dronacharya never taught anything to eklavya but still tricked him to unjustly sacrifice his thumb in the name of gurudakshina to biasly protect arjuna, his beloved student. Ultimately he was tricked to his death in the great war against Pandavas. Karma got to him. Balance restored.
In both Ramyan and Mahabharat, we see how lower caste people were supressed or even killed when they tried to leave shackles of Caste. In Ramayan Uttarkand Ram killed a shudra named Shambook while engaged in penances because a brahmin asked Ram to do it. In Mahabharat we have case of Eklavya. Karma caught up with Hindus and they had to suffer slavery for almost 900 years. Don't get me wrong, I am a devout practicing Hindu myself, but against caste system including caste based reservations.
The story of Arjun and Ekalavya keeps repeating itself even today. The number-1 guy in most fields is not the real number-1 in terms of skill, talent or hard work, he is made the number-1 by people who control the game.
when are we gonna see some videos of actual truth, that Ekalavya doesn't belong to backward community and he was the COUSIN BROTHER of Lord Krishna? and dronaacharya didn't ask for the thumb? Guru Drona said "i cannot teach since i'm a royal teacher to the 105 princes." Then Ekalavya went and made the murthy of Guru Drona. Grow some spine youtubers (this might sound like an insult but, isn't it time to actually read mahabharata, instead of depending on twisted movies and series).
Dhrona even thought everything to Dustadhyumna who born to kill him, but not to Ekalavya because Ekalavya is a person who lives by hunting and he knows archery well but what ekalavya want is astrasas which were like highest form of destructive wepons which should not be thaught to the enemy kingdom warriors. here we need to observe one more thing ekalavya learnd those wepons which drona refused to teach him in some occult ways and saying that drona has thaught him and he is his teacher so drona has wisly thought that plan and executed it but after seeing ekalavyas sincerity towards him and towards archery he thaught him how to use bow and arrow with two fingers, and one more thing it is not mentioned that Arjuna is happy about what happend to ekalavya.
he went to enemy ask his thump chop as gurkudakshana . Arjun would been happiest person at that time .drona was refused to teach ekalavya bcz he was related to reval kingdom .bcz he had bad intended in his mind but he wasn't aware of duryodhana ? What they did to pandavas , what they did to droupadi ? drona charya fought besides duryodhana in battle I think mahabarath was made to justify caste discrimination It's been centuries lower caste communities oppressed and facing caste discrimination
My issue with the storyteller and the commentators below is that you people read the Hindu literature, or the Vedas, based on western ideals, which makes you people incorrect all the time. In this culture, karma and dharma are more important than right and wrong. Truth, or Satya, has never remained consistent. Satya is a reliance on who’s narrative or perspective you are hearing or following. Karma and dharma are the same; you act in a way that is right for you and your conscience. It is neither wrong nor right because Dhrona has adhered to his dharma; he has not only taken Ekalavya's thumb but has also fought Arjuna. Every character in the epic does the same, they followed their dharma. Kurukshetra's ending reminds us about the struggles, setbacks, and victories you have in the fight for your rights and conventions-rather than the triumph of good over evil. Look through all the books in the world; you won't find a more sophisticated and comprehensive work anyplace. they cover every aspect of human existence and nature, You are restricting your mind to the size of a pigeon's poop, if you are attempting to comprehend the complete story on some western morals. Your mind needs vastness like the sky for this!
eklavya's father was vassal of jarasandha, enemy of krishna's clan. eklavya's clan along with other clans had also attacked krishna's clan several times.
No this is not the correct interpretation. Drona knew that the knowledge learnt without a guru can become dangerous and that is why his right thumb was asked as a dakshina. It is more prevalent at present generation where children learn from internet and this knowledge can become dangerous and they will miss many logical conclusion that can be understood only if taught by a guru
Do you know that Ekalavya is Krishna's cousin. Ekalavya is also a Kshatriya. Please read Ved Vyas Mahabharat before making a video. Don't spread false stories.
The main problem with Ekalavya was, he was not towards dharma since early days, he was attracted towards adharma. Hence all the great people like Dhrona and Lord Krishna doesn’t want Ekalavya to possess superior skills. He is example of person also needs to maintain moral apart from skills

@@THEHINDUSAGA In Sambhav Parv, there is no mention of Drona asking the thumb of eklavya because he was better than Arjun or Nishad. We do not know his reasoning for this action. It could be the cruelty he showed to the dog or maybe he was actually partial towards arjun or a casteist. But it is not conclusive in the book.
I am wondering if that is true. Did Drona have the right to ask for gurudakshina eventhough he refused Eklavya as student? I'd say yes, because Eklavya stole the knowledge. He had to pay for it. This is confirmed by Eklavya himself. Why did he payup then? He would have protested. Any thoughts?
Are you fool. Knowledge cannot be taken from a person. It is not called stealing. Yes he accepted and given his gurudakshina. It is only considered stealing when we used it without permission. Until we pay for a thing we cannot use it fully. Eklayva paid for the teachings by giving gurudakshina. Here the only fault is Arjun and Drona. A gurudakshina should be asked with a good heart. But drona wanted to make Eklayva weak so his Arjun can be the best. Arjun jealousy is also the reason. When he saw Eklayva Practicing he got inferiority complex. He wanted to be the best. When he saw another person as his he got intimidated. You could see even in the Arena he accepted the challenge when others humiliated Karna because his ego got bruised seeing another archer.
Political reasons...Drona wanted Pandavas to be in power, not Kauravas...All efforts to bring the cousins together went in vain...Pandavas were bit better than Kauravas...Ekavalaya alliance with Kauravas will change scales...
Why paramathma always helps pandavas. As in this case , even when there is extraordinary devotion towards the guru and paramathma himself.. Does this mean that education is only for the wealthy/kings
Drona paid for his karma, but eklavya joined jarasandh in a battle against Krishna and met his end, he was not devoted towards paramatma. He was a good student and what drona did to him was wrong. Also eklavya was not poor, he was a prince. He could have learnt archery from other gurus but he decided to learn from drona. Pandavs were not bad people and they always devoted themselves to paramatma, arujun was a child when he met eklavya, he became a better person when he grew up. Pandavs suffered badly all their lives, they were cheated, abused and exiled and even after completing their exile they were chased and were attacked. Their child's were murdered, their wife was disrespected. Paramatma helped them because they deserved it.
Have heard somewhere that in the end, when Lord Shri Krishna chose to end his avatar, it was Ekalavya who pierced an arrow into Krishna's ankle and killed him. Now you are telling the other way around...
Stealing knowledge of teacher without his consent is crime . Shiv transfer archery knowledge to Parshuram then Parshuram transfer this knowledge to Dronacharya then Dronacharya transfer this knowledge to Kauravas and Pandavas. Without teacher consent taking knowledge is crime . Parsuram was angry with karna on this issue (he mislead Parsuram before asking for archery knowledge) . Dronacharya was also angry with eklavya on this issue. So nothing is wrong. Knowledge should be given to deserve and to the right man .
How did eklavya steal knowledge? He did not go to see what and how Dronacharya was teaching. He simply put his faith in the idol that he made and practiced his skills. Dronacharya had nothing to do with his training. Yet he was asked to pay up Gurudakshina. How was this rightM
@dhruvbariya1722 eklavya had already watched drona. as soon as he placed idol of Drona to guide him, shows Drona became his guru without consent. Still eklavya had a genuine desire. Appreciate it.
When you accept other stories as truth, then accept this too. Do not be selective as per liking. See nothing has been hidden in Hindu scriptures. Appreciate.
Often the evil/Devil/Saitan/bad people seem to be more justified, truthful, talented compared to those so called Gods or Good People. It appears bad people (as per common stories) were just deprived and tricked by the good ones. Very Funny.
Basically arjuna is best archer by default Like king joffrey in game of thrones he cries if anyone is better than him and gets his betters handicapped or killed.
Never did Arjuna say I am afraid. He had defeated Karna in Virat yudha. Also, he was the only archer from side of pandavas fighting with the mighty warriors of karavas.
