Knowledge Bank

How did Bhima ridicule Karna?

While the assessment of the skills of Pandavas and Kauravas was going on, Karna came there and challenged Arjuna. Kripacharya told Karna to disclose his lineage because Arjuna as a prince would fight only someone who is equal to him in status. Karna’s foster father Adhiratha was a charioteer. At that time, Duryodhana appointed Karna as the ruler of Angarajya. When Bhima realized that Karna’s foster father was a charioteer, he insulted Karna saying that you don’t even deserve to die at the hands of Arjuna. Better pick up the whip which is the profession of your clan. Just as offering kept in the yaga vedi can not be consumed by a dog, you don’t deserve to be the king of Anga.

Embracing Fulfillment Through Devotion

To discover true fulfillment and joy in life, take inspiration from the women of Vraja. They are the most fortunate because their hearts and minds are entirely devoted to Krishna. Whether milking cows, churning butter, or caring for their children, they sing His praises with unwavering devotion. By integrating Krishna into every aspect of their lives, they experience a profound sense of peace, happiness, and contentment. This constant connection to the divine ensures that all desirable things come to them naturally. By making Krishna the center of your own life, you too can find fulfillment in every moment, regardless of the task at hand.
