41:24 I used to mistakenly think Yuddhisthir was a pacificist wuss (when I was a child). Seeing it as a result, you see that he's the one who has a sense of strategy.
42:15 Always thinking about herself first. Would she ever shut up?
40:50 She just won't shut up. You don't stay angry and emotional all the time 24/7. You save it for when you need it. Besides, revenge is a dish best served cold. (I.e. planned out and premeditated. Not going all soap-opera emotional.)
If they do a reboot, they should omit the disrobing (which is a ret-con according to several mahabharata scholars), and cut out a lot of her mopy lines. She's insufferable.
@HeviltheDevil probably if you were dragged in a room full of people and if you were disrobed..you would have understood...especially if you also belonged to a "high class"...
insult can induce very powerful and all-consuming effect and can rob u of all your senses and peace and
37:47 Seriously how thick can you get? You'd figure Duryodhan would have heard enough stories about Durvasa and what a cranky old bastard he could be.
38:09 No, of course not. People are just going to love waiting on you hand and foot for hours and hours and giving you tons of their food. You're hungry? You know for an ascetic, you don't seem to lack for 'stored energy'. You haven't fasted in decades? You don't say.
8:53 Krishna: "Not without my help. Bhim can take Duhshahan if it's one on one. But you and Karna... well putting it nicely, you're gonna need a lot of my help."
5:26 Krishna totally had to be cloaking his presence to come up on Arjun like that. How could anyone not feel a presence like Krishna's coming from a mile away - let alone a trained warrior like Arjun.
I'd guess that being evil, they don't have to worry about all sorts of rules and can give themselves over to mirth. Or it's a comment from the 'virtuous' people that the 'evil' people weren't capable of being serious.
Arjbhava: No, Karna was the incarnation of Shani, the son of Surya and the daughter of Vishwakarma. While still a child, he was cursed by his step-mother for trying to get her attention away from her natural born child. The story of Sahasrakavacha being Karna's previous incarnation is a tamil/malayam ret-con of the Vedic story done about 300-400 years ago, and is thus inaccurate. Karna was a great soul (born of deva blood on both sides), brutally cursed to suffer while still a child.
People like you who are so enamored by Karna that you are blind to his faults and twist facts to suit your beliefs. Both the Pune edition (the critical edition), and Ganguly's translation (which most critics consider to be faithful to the original text) state that Karna was sahasrakavacha and that Nara and Narayana (Arjuna and Krishna) had defeated him in a past life. This information is not a recent version from any tamil/malayalam version but from the Vedic scripture.
karna was always better than arjun........though arjun have master skills but karan was greater than arjun...............he was more poweful even 10 arjun's cant beat karna.............
@swordize This is completely INCORRECT. In his last life Karna was a demon called Sahasrakavaca Asura. He would kill Rishis and drink their blood. He even attacked Nara-Narayana Rishi (Arjuna and Krishna in the Satya Yuga) but was defeated by them. It was Krishna's mercy that he allowed that vile demon to be born again as Karan. People think that Karan was unjustly treated but he got far BETTER than he deserved - he even lied to his Guru Parasuram thus his ability was gained through deceit
How come all Rakshasas (demons) seem to always be in a good mood. Is being evil that much fun? Since i've started watching these episodes again, i have not seen a Rakshas not laughing. When they are not killing or eating men, do they watch Comedy Central?
YIKES!!! even THIS shiva is no-good-looking!!! oh dear!!! so there's ONE good Krishna actor in the history of motion pictures with krishna--ONE (well maybe 2) good shiva actor in history of shiv-related motion picture, and ONE goo vishnu actor--in history of such!!! it's a one of-a-kind business!!! LOL!!!
first 17 minutes are my FAVORITE minutes!!! i wouldn't mind being rebuked by krisna!!! lol it would be an honor!!! (but it would also mean i'd probably have 2 do something AWFUL!!--and i'm not to keen on that!! lol)
haha draupadi knows krishna for who he actually is even BEFORE arjuna!!!!
I'm so captivated by this TV series that it has inspired me to begin the journey of reading the unabridged "Mahabharata" translated by J.A.B. van Buitenen. It's a wonderful epic filled with knowledge and wisdom concerning human foibles. Somehow, it manages to encapsulate all of the major ethical, spiritual and political themes of the world's sacred and secular literature. The reason why I'm so fascinated is because it's an ancient epic and very little has changed in human nature.
@Sikhindu I'm not sure how many episodes this has, but I really want to watch all of it! It's the most amazing series I've ever seen! It has so much great philosophy and truth in it!
It has 94 episodes. I watched it in the 80s when it first aired, and I am amazed at how much I had forgotten from it. Plus I have been communicating with those who know the religion better and they are able to point out what is fiction and what is in the texts. I already finished them like maybe 3 days ago, I'm already missing it because I have nothing else to watch. Enjoy :) (Some other guy watched it in 12 days!)
@Sikhindu Thanks, I will! I'm actually thinking of getting it as a book in English, so I can read it myself.^^But it's certainly great to have people from the Indian culture explaining things. The more I learn, the more I want to know.^^
If you shall read it by yourself, maybe you should get a companion book to explain the context of what was going on then and such things. But good luck though, that is something I could do in the future. I have a bunch of books here that I haven't read yet, so I have to go through those first.
I think you are asking about the thinning comments :) I ask to verify because the e-mail notice does not say which comment you are replying to. I already finished this one months ago, tried watching the new version of Ramayan but they haven't uploaded all 300 episodes, so I have to wait on that. In the meantime, I'm watching 62 episodes of The Great Queen Seondeok. I guess I'm addicted to watching long serials, and by the time it ends, many people have given up on the way.
38:49 durvasa has got to be the biggest idiot of all time.
hum tumhaare bhraatra prem se ati prasanna hue. what the hell?!? does he not know what cheating duryodhana had done to be where he was?

The beauty of the Indian epics is that even the less noble motives of a largely divine entity are laid bare for us to digest and consider.
