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.

Life is a preparation, death is an examination

We participate in so many exams in our life, and get the results as per our preparation for that exams. But most of the exams we have option, whether to attempt it or not? But there is one exam in our life which we may ignore saying we will see when it would come in our life, but we all have to attempt we don't have any choice, whether we are poor,  rich,  educated or illiterate. Srila Prabhupada used to say, this life is our preparation how we are preparing our-self for coming exam.  Because that exam has no prior time table, no time period, no grace marks, and no cheat sheet allowed. And you may be surprise to know, all our activities are recorded by Yamduta for our each and every moments with evidence. Yes, Yamduta will show your answer sheet and you can review it, whether he has marked you in correct way or not? You are successful, if you are passed your exams but if you are failed then you don't know when you will have to reattempt that exam (it could be after 84 lac...

Real meaning of Success

In today's world everyone is looking for success and for that by hook or by crook they want to achieve it. After getting that achievement they need more and more and if they do not get they become frustrated. And we see more of the so called successful people at some level they are not able to tolerate the failure and end up their life. So, here we are going to discuss, what is the real meaning of success? First of all we must understand, Success is not a destination but a journey. In our life we may consider anything of success, but it means opportunity to implore our self more.
