Тарабарщина

[Padma]

Проматывайте, кто английского не знает! Этого я понять не в силах. Но знаю, что про любимый эпос! Может это для индологов?





1. How were the muktiyogas selected to enact their roles as Pandavas in Mahabharata?



It seems taratamya prevailed and also not - meaning, the youngest were nakula and shaeva (mula: ashwinis kaxa ),

followed by Arjuna (mula : Indra Kaxa ) then Bhimasena devaru (mula: mukya Prana Kaxa 3) then the eldest Yudhisthira (mula: yama Kaxa ). Hope you got my point. why wasn't Bhima the eldest- would it have served any other different purpose, meaning being the eldest, then one would have to take decisions which might have been quite adharma?

Would it have lessened the opportunities for him to worship Krishna?

Bhimasena's placement in the family heirarchy is puzzling to me.

The same case in Hanuman where is not the king - he's just a senior official. again is it because of the responsibilities as king that would affect his worship to Sri Rama.



2. In continuation of the above, if gita had to be preached through to the world, then wasn't Bhimasena the best candidate? Why was Arjuna chosen? Of course, Mukya Prana was there as Hanuman rupa but it is not the same isn't it?



3. The book also mentions about the last days of Mahabharata. In fact the book begins with the last days of Pandavas. It is mentioned that though Arjuna had acquired complete tatvagyana on acount of Sri Krishna's reachings,at the time of pasing away, his gyana that was acquired as a part of the Gita Teachings was destroyed as he was to go back to his mula rupa which was much much lower than

than Mukya Prana. It is reasoned therefore that Indra as Arjuna was only a role and after that part he went back to his mula rupa.

This is fair enough and acceptable. However, that leads to one more puzzling doubt for me: Whatever gyana we acquire in this life throgh listening to pravachanas, reading Bhagatwat, etc, does not help us in the next janmas after we finish this life? or do we begin fresh each time everytime? Then how does yatharta gyana actually work in practice?
