Why Draupadi married with 5 husbands?

People keep doubt in our scriptures who do not go through it, to clear our doubt we have to read our scriptures nicely then we will come to know the exact cause of everything.

Here few people ask if Draupadi can marry to five husbands, why not a normal woman can do?

But if we go to our scripture in deep we see Draupadi was not an ordinary woman. There was big misunderstanding between King Drupad and Dronacharya and Drupad wanted to take revenge from Dronacharya and for that he performed a great sacrifice.

By his first offering Dhristhyadumnya was born and by the second offering Draupadi was born.

There was big swamvar where Draupadi can chose her husband with condition who can pierce eye of the fish looking under the reflection in water pot which is moving continuously.

Kings from all across the world present over there but none of them were able to do it, so finally Pandvas who were in dress of Brahmins due to fear from Duryodhana, Arjuna did it.

When Pandvas came back to their place mother Kunti was busy in her prayers and King Yudhishthira asked, mother we have brought special gift for you, please have a look.

Mother Kunti immediately replied without even seeing as usually she used to reply, whatever you have brought share it in equal parts.

Now when Kunti Mahrani saw she is a beautiful lady, But king Yudhishthira wanted to keep words of her mother and then he accepted whatever decision you have taken is good for us.

But father of Draupadi King Drupada was not convinced from it but when Vyasdeva explained King Drupada, Draupadi in her previous birth prays to Lord Shiva to obtain an elevated husband. Since she asked Lord Shiva 5 times, Lord Shiva appeared and told you would have 5 husbands.

Later Vyasdeva explained to King Drupad these Pandvas are not an ordinary human being but demi gods and then King Drupad agreed, it is plan of higher authroity and accepted it as it is.

Here we can see why Draupadi married with five Pandvas, it is not an ordinary things and nor for an ordinary human being to immitate it.

Learning Lessons from Mother Sumitra

In this world mother and child relationship is above all the relations. The foremost responsibility of a mother is to place her child in a proper Krishna Consciousness environment by which he/she becomes pure devotee of the Lord. Often mothers blame for their children, they are not behaving well and they don't respect them at all but the reason behind this is how much we are doing for them. Being a parent means to sacrifice for children. In modern age mother has no time to care of her children and think they can give all kinds of facilities by just giving money. And when the child grows up and by the time he/she do not get the association of mother and teachings they become free to do what they want to do. Mother means to care for her children what they need and give love and teach them how to love and respect others. And if we think we just send our children to schools/colleges and they will be perfect in all so they cannot. Its the duty of the mother to give valuable time ...

In our previous post we have already mentioned Ramayna is not an ordinary story but a complete learning lesson from each & every characters. Laxmana is one of the character of Ramayana, who was completely hide himself to glorify from others, and away from honor and dishonor. Laxmana teaches us how to maintain character, competency, selfless service, and equal in both the situation either you are praised or you are abused.

Laxmana always eager to serve Lord Rama, when Lord Rama was about to go for exile for fourteen years Laxmana immediately stood up & ready to go along with Lord Rama although he was not asked to go to exile. Laxmana took vow, he will not sleep for four...
