Who is subhadra in mahabharata

Purv janm mein yah gaalav rshi kee kanya maadhavee thi. This divine incarnation of Maa Durga was for some time. At the time of his birth, Yashoda was fast asleep and had not seen this girl. And Vasudev Yashoda-born girl Yogmaya came back to Mathura, and when Kansa wanted to kill that girl, she left her hand and went away in the air.

Goddess Yogamaya is said to be the sister of Lord Krishna, who was older than her. There is a temple of Maa Yogamaya in Delhi, the capital of the country. This ancient temple dates from the time of Mahabharata. This ancient temple has seen Delhi desolate and inhabited many times. This temple is located in Mehrauli, Delhi. Due to the persistence of Balarama, Krishna had Subhadraa killed by Arjuna. After marrying Subhadra , Ajun stayed in Dwarka for one year and spent the rest of the time in the Pushkar region.

On completion of 12 years, he returned to Indraprastha with Subhadraa. Subhadraa had three sisters. It is said that this is the abode of this goddess in Vindhyachal. Since Sri Krishna considered Draupadi as her sister, she also became his sister. Once the people of Vrishni Sangha, Bhoja, and Andhak dynasty celebrated a huge festival on the Ravatak mountain.

Thousands of gems and immense wealth were donated on occasion. Children, older men, and women were walking around attentively. The Gandharvas and the captives were telling him his virada. A crowd of gazes, music, and spectacles was everywhere. In this festival, Krishna and Arjuna were also walking together with great love.

Fascinated by his form, Arjun Ekatak looked at him. Knowing the intention of Arjuna, Krishna said, You have the practice of swayamvara here. Still, it is unsure whether Subhadraa will get you into the swayamvar or not because everyone has different interests, but in the Rajkuls to forcefully marry.

It is also the way. So that path will be paved for you. One day Subhadraa went to Devpuja on the Ravatak mountain. After the puja, the hill was pradakshina. Brahmins read Mangal. Seeing this scene of the soldiers, Subhadrashaya shouting, went to the Sudharma Sabha of Dwarka and said everything there.

On hearing this, the Chairman ordered to play the war band. Hearing that voice, the warriors of the Bhoja, Andhak, and Vrishni dynasty left their essential functions and started gathering there.

Listening to Subhadrashna, his eyes widened. He decided to give appropriate punishment to the person who killed Subhadraa. Some started plucking a chariot. And Some started wearing armor. Some began plowing their horses with the help of arms, and war materials began to gather. What is the meaning of this silence of yours? Arjuna was considered so much here as your friend and pierced the plate in which he ate. He has humiliated us by daring it.

I Can not bear it. He has taken away our sister only by understanding the importance of our clan. Because he was skeptical of meeting her through Swayamvar, he is a promising young man of the best dynasty. There should be no objection to a relationship with her. To win against evil, a team need to have all round support or support from Almighty then only one can win. The work that The Print is doing will be addressed in same way with all forms oneday.

Continue your work, time or kaal or Karma will address you. Well you are drawing a paraller between Sita and subhadra apharan.

For Sita the conecent was not there is evendently mentioned over and over again. But you article fails to give evidence the same from Subhadra..

And if Mahabharata had the guts to make dropadi confront and ask questions to yudhishthira. Why would they not do it if subhadra had any questions against it. But Sita evidently did not accept Ravana ever. And this debate of right and wrong, dharma and adharma is the core of Mahabharata. But ……………….

You will use this blank space for all the abuses Arjuna forced himself and subhadra was victim of domestic violence and poor lady could not speak against it.

This is quite offensive to the hallmark work of Vyasa. Misconstruing and twisting the facts has become the bread and butter of these modern Indologists. I reckon they are new age incarnations of Max Mueller who did intense damage to our culture, by terming our histories as mythology.

I request them to just introspect, and ask themselves, what wrong has Lord Krishna done to them in their lives? Why are they so critical about the spiritual lilas of the Supreme Lord? There is still time guys, sudhar jao. Wake up sir ,either change your name So it does not reflect as Sanatani. Subhadra is YogaNaya herself…. Be warned that you are inviting troubles that are beyond your understanding or comprehension.

May the Lord give you good sense. May good sense prevail. She fell in love with Arjuna in the form of tridaNDi sannyaasi. The author seems to be ill-informed and in a haste to press some preconceived notions. Great to know you care! I am sure you would post your action taken on this same URL. The most dangerous statements are those lies with an ounce of truth of fake references. This misinterpretation is just a publicity stunt.

You call this secular? You author are a better historical source than the puranas? You take out a part of the poem, then present it out of context and write a completely derogatory article against one of the Hindu gods and then call the Hindus Islamophobic, asecular and such stuff.

Is that even sane? Agar itne secular ho, liberal ho, itna question Krna psnd hai toh pehle toh sources ko saaf tareeke se saamne rakho aise Todd ke nae… Dusri cheez harr galat cheez pe barabar aawaz uthao…. Yeh minority appeasement band karo…. Hats off to you for your comments.

These guys need such kind of reprimand, otherwise, these guys will just pick one thing and distort it so badly and will try to romanticize it and will make it as the new cool among the pesudo-secular scholars and then will make it new fashion to propagate among the common Indians who will be influenced and will be trapped in their such kind of ulterior motives to spread fake narratives. Hi Web Editor: I want to remind you that article in a similar vein disrespecting Islam would result in your offices being bombed.

For a publication located supported and funded largely by Hindus this is a true outrage- shows in how much contempt you hold the Indian people. Your editorial staff is beneath contempt -biting the hand that feeds you. Take this shit down. I have studied authentic versions of Mahabharatha. If I see this post still around by today evening May 4th 6 p. I am going to put a case on you.

This is unfortunately a flawed retelling and fails on several ground. And the only reason such article exists is to compares heros of Hindu epics — Krishna and Arjuna to Ravana. Great going people! So you need tutoring in understanding the Subhadra incident. Let go one by one —. Such a simple explanation. Some idiot forced further clarification in this matter. Does that make Subhadra tormented? In India, arranged marriage is a tradition which is carried till date. It is very much like what Krishna decided for Subhadra.

But can you compare those marriage or patent to Ravan abducting Sita? We need to see a more holestic approach also before analysing an incident in isolation.

What is the chance that Subhadhra was not already and actually liking Arjuna as mentioned in Bhagwat Purana? Can you quote a single sloka from Mahabharat or Bhagwat Purna that depicts that Subhadra was tormented by this abduction? That she really regretted or resented it? I regret to be partner in this crime. How dare you to not taking approval from me to put it here. It is getting abused. I believe in Krishna and do chanting, you idiot.

Sorry to all for this article. Such a shame! You guys go outside the country and spoil the image of our country and our relics by publishing and bitching on each other. Shame on you and your thoughts. I wish your parents know what kind of thoughts you people have!!!!

Hi Chowdhury and Ghosh: Very irresponsible article. Demeaning the culture that raised and nurtured you …….. Amrita: You denial if true reflects very poorly on your due diligence in proofreading an article prior to publication. Both of you have a bright futures as vandals of Indian culture for lining you pocket. This is NOT a scholarly article, but an advertisement for their upcoming novel. The writer of Mahbharat has not mentioned what the Subhadra wanted as mentioned by this author.

Another Hinduphobic rant in The Print. Take it from an ex-atheist who found his guru, you people have no clue about hinduism. The reason being is because you dont have an enlightened person in your life to make you understand things. You read it from your limited view and your uncontrolled monkey mind and create an interpretation. You take western materialistic education and develop poor perspectives about spiritual matters.

This article is perfect example of Shekerites. Shallow knowledge, punjabi swagger and bengali theories. Authors would be pleased to know that there is no one official Mahabharata. This is no bible.

It may be true of Ramayana but am definate about Mahabharata. Many stories that are same have different interpretation and motivation in both the books. So you can have your interpretation and shame but do not impose it like bible when your arguments are shaky. I fail to understand what the author is pissed about , the tweaking of story to make it more cultured for mass consumption ,why is the author criticizing the character of a story as if he is a real person, author is expecting gender equality at a time years ago when these stories were written is preposterous to say the least, please think through before voicing an opinion in a reputed brand like the print.

There is no point in reading old classics and trying to fit them into 21st century values. By their logic, Bhishma will be a bigot and anti LGBT just because he refused to fight with Shikhandi knowing very well it is Arjuna hiding behind. Bhishma himself abducted Amba, Ambika and Ambalika for marrying with his brother without seeking their consent. So i request the print to stop giving publicity to such people.

I agree with comment above that the Print has no dare to publish any critical piece about Quran. They are happy abusing Indians and Hindu culture. Another absurd piece from a bunch of woke liberals educated in US universities. Its a shame that our culture and heritage is being interpreted and presented to us by foreign institutions. These institutions have their own vested interests, ideologies and agenda — which they cleverly peddle using the substantial resources at their disposal.

Does it mean much really? In the mind:- purity and impurity. Both are included. Relevance and irrelevance to the times, occasion and cobtext matter much.

Especially in May onward. We need to resurge human aspirations and emotions-this is revolutiobary times. Those 2 scholars, Mr. Prabhu and his glorious Team, the readers not just of Print and 7.

Prabhu not initiate moral classes for the children currently receiving rote on line lessons from their Faginistic Schools? Prabhu has the intelligence, technology, resources of 3M and capabilities to think out of the box.

But no, Mr. Prabhu and his ilk are also cursed. They are per cent aware of a water crisis emerging soon, another virus and the viciousness of Chinese hegemony, economic woes….

But they prefer so called tragedy of Subhadra as if this narration is a self fulfilling prophesy! And criticise Center and State relations when unity is needed and many State leaders are liafing timevand energy.

Peoplecare dying! What do you call such reprehensively bovine choices, i wonder! Completely agree. Facts as have been documented, even if they are considered bad by present day standards, need to be told, even if they are related to our gods and heroes.

However, i would like the author to consider a few things. It is very difficult to get the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. We view them from our myopic, monotheistic most of us being educated based on european-christain standards point of view.

It is very hard for us to let go of black and white, right and wrong, good and evil , god and satan, etc and then view circumstances, and in this case ancient happenings. I am saying happenings because, i assume the author thinks the Mahabharata actually happened, since the author is so affronted by this episode.

If you can drop all these prejudice we have, and all the assumptions on how to live, what is right and wrong etc… then you may understand what Mahabharata is, and whats its characters were. If we look at it like a movie, or a novel, which is how we are fed and tought from a very young age, we are just judging based our limitations.

It is said, that when you read the Mahabharata and Ramayana, again and again, your perception and understanding keeps changing, and you will have more clarity, and it helps understand where you are in your life and why you are there. You can try this, and stop judging, then you may know what it truly is. An excellent point made about the evolving narrative in Hinduism. That YOU make the point fearlessly establishes that Hinduism, as a way of life, is eternally evolving. While being critical of such narratives in Hindu scriptures, you are NOT ostracised.

What you say is not termed as blasphemy. It is entirely your choice to follow any way of thinking you chose. You are still a Hindu unless you chose not to be. Likewise all religions have to evolve with passage of time. Like you, those who are born into a religion have to fearlessly expose the warts in their respective religions and not succumb to blind beliefs and faith — because they are scared. Else they should be ready to accept criticism.

Col, you are educated enough to just write english, not commentary on scriptures. Being in army has it own perks but not entitle you to criticize anything without substantial evidences. It was expected from you. No hard feelings. A person is free to their opinion, I agree. But is one also free to misquote from a scripture? Show the wrong reference? Draw wrong inference? Give twisted explanation to unsaid phrase? Reject any other reference which clarifies the obscurity?

Well, if you and the author of this article, devoid of true understanding of the epic, are free to your voice your opinion, I am sure you would agree, we too have right to put the interpretation in the right perspective and not let some fools misquote it.

Interesting analysis, though the authors seem to be making their own assumptions on the other side as well. Mahabharat has several sub-plots, many of which are not adequately elaborated in the epic itself, but find detailing in other historical scriptures, for example Bhagvat Puran. The comment in the first response to this article is unfortunate. There is no reason to compare what would happen if a critique was done on another religious book.

This itself gives it a resolute strength that makes it tower over others. She was continuously weeping and wiping her tears. Her face which was pleasing like the Moon on the lap of Ravana appeared as though the Moon was rising through dark clouds. Whatever you wrote is as fantastic as the scatological shit you have in your brain, oh you son of 6th keep of Zakir Naik.

Same way of talking, manipulation of meaning, drawing shitty meaning out of verses and mentioning numbers of reference. Thank you for taking the pain to reveal yourself. Drivel like this is why you and your ilk have no respect anywhere in the world. Oil prices crashed your desert masters are broke — and funds to pay for your mischief making Are drying up…. The article shows only half-truth. Because after abduction, Yadavas persuaded Arjuna to return to Dwarka.

Both Arjuna and Subhadra came back. Therefore, the whole concocted story presented here that it was her disinclined abduction is bogus and fakery. Another Hinduphobe article by a wannabe author who wants a pat on back award from the elite liberal establishment. Rubbish …. An attempt to de glorify Mahabharata in particular and Hinduism in general…. Itni nafrat or dimag me kachara late kaha se ho yaar.
