CULTURAL QA 05-2024-10A
Q2 What is the incident – a saint was given a loin cloth
tearing her saree by Draupadi?
KR 1 There is no such story in the original Mahabhartham; a
figment of imagination and an air borne story is this. Draupathi helped
Krisshnaa from her vaastra and hence the Lord returned it in vastrabaranam
is there. 2 "എ ജന്മ സുകൃതം" (e janma sukrtham) is a phrase in Malayalam, a
language spoken primarily in the Indian state of Kerala and the union
territory of Lakshadweep, as well as in some parts of Tamil Nadu and
Karnataka. This phrase can be translated to English as "What a fortunate
birth!" or "What a blessed life!" It is often used to express gratitude or
amazement at the circumstances or events surrounding one's birth or life.
It conveys a sense of appreciation for the favourable conditions or
opportunities one has experienced. {By compiler: My note- Ejanma
sukrutham.} 3 The Vedas and Karma theory does not say anywhere for para
brahmam to bless, you should have done something; in B G Lord says, EVEN IF
YOU ARE A Papi, if you surrender, I shall absolve all your sins. 4 Births
are due to past karma is Siddantham and GOD blessings are beyond the TIT
FOR TAT.
Q4 Apart from humans, are there other animals that can be
considered vengeful?
KR Revenge itself is among the animals only and hence humans are
animals as they are called.
