Hey! Thanks for sharing your thought. Gandhari’s curse on Lord Krishna is unique due to her intense grief and exceptional virtue, which gave her words spiritual potency. Unlike today, where curses hold no real power, the Mahabharata depicts a time when profound righteousness and moral authority could impact even the divine! Amazing as it was !!
But how is the curse justifiable? It was Gandhaari's fault for not having instilled the right values in her children. Krishna did warn Dhritarashtra and his children the consequences of the war and tried to make peace before the war but it was their choice to go for war. What wrong did Krishna do for that curse to come back as karma to Him and his clan?
Thank you for your thoughtful question! In my view, Gandhari's curse on Krishna, despite her duty to instill values in her children, reflects her immense grief and righteous indignation. The Mahabharata shows that her lifelong virtue gave her words spiritual power. Krishna accepted the curse, understanding the inevitable consequences of karma. As the Bhagavad Gita states, "For whatever action a great man performs, common men follow" (BG 3.21). This event symbolizes the complex interplay of dharma and karma, showing that even divine beings are bound by these cosmic principles. Hope that helps.
@@curiouspri thank you for the answer but I still wonder what wrong did Krishna do, for that curse to come back to him as karma? He did all the right things. Even if Gandhaari's curse is not justifiable, just out of pure anger, it shouldn't work. It was her and Dhritarashtra's duty to instill right values in their children and they miserably failed.
I get where you’re coming from. The Mahabharata is full of complex situations, and Gandhari’s curse is definitely one of them. The idea there is that, even someone as powerful as Krishna isn’t above the rules of karma and dharma. Krishna accepting the curse isn’t really about punishment but about maintaining balance in the universe. It shows that everyone, even the divine, has to face the consequences of actions. It’s a way to highlight that nothing is permanent and that everyone is subject to the same cosmic laws.
Excellent message.
Thank you for your yeomem service
Thank you for watching!
well put together pri...still mysterious as to how a normal 'lady' could curse a 'lord'...

Gandhari cursed in a haste and in agony but immediately she realised her mistake and repented for it. But a curse is a curse
Very true :)
Priyuu pls make a video on- how shakuni receives his dices for his famous game. I heard the story only recently.
Sure! Great idea, will do one in the coming videos :)
