5th House - Pratibha

By Sri Chiraan 2009/06/15

If 5th house is exalted and there is a relationship with the lagna lord, And both lords are in vaisheshika amsa, there will be special skill acquired by the native. Jupiter exalted in vimsamsa and Jupiter in kanduka will give the same result. 

Karna’s specialist skill:

He could never be defeated if is not competing. I.e. If he is fighting for justice or fighting as a duty, no one can defeat him. This was the boon of Parshuraam.

If he is fighting in the chariot given by Parshuram, then he cannot be disarmed, or his chariot never perishes.

His bow Vijay if its string is cut it automatically regenerates. They can send thousands of arrows in one single shoot.

Karna had Kavach and Kundal, with which he cannot be killed piercing that kavach by anyone who is below SUN deity.

Karna having Shakti in his hand any opponent is susceptible to death.

Karna had a special blessings of Krishna as Krishna himself was present in him at times. It is at these times that KARNA cannot be equalled by anyone. But then it is Krishna, and not Karna who is unrivalled in him. It was this presence of Krishna as avesha that caused fear among all the opponents.

Karna’s shortfall:

Karna had the curse of Parshuram that whenever he fights to obtain selfish desires, or competes on the footings of wrong intent, he will lose.

Karna had another curse that he would forget all his skill when he requires them most. Karna had another curse that he will lose his chariot when his death nears.

Karna had a boon that his fame will remain unsullied, and he will achieve what he was always clamouring for, to be called equal to Arjun.

Arjun’s special skill:

Arjun’s quiver never exhausted, they will automatically be filled with arrows. All others will have to carry arrows, but Arjun need not. He will always have quiver full of arrows. This was a special quiver.

Arjun’s bow could dispel eight variety of arrows:

a> One which can create a thousand arrows.

b> One which can create illusions , one which can show fiery images to opponents.

c> One which can cover entire battlefield to darkness with arrows.

d> One which can shield him from opponent arrows with a sheath of arrows 

e> One which can kill selectively from amongst the group 

f> One which can make visible invisible opponents 

g> Arrows which can search its target and hit. 

h> One which just touches the opponent without killing or hurting him.

Arjuns Gandiva was a bow, which could not be cut or its string does not slit. It produced sound that can kill a hundreds of elephants. Clouds rained just by the shriek of Gandiva.

Arjuns horses could not be slained. They can run in all 10 directions. They don’t tire and fly in the air as well. Arjuns chariot could not be destroyed. Up to one mile of chariot no ordinary arrows can even pierce its range leave alone reach Arjun.

The flag of chariot contained Hanuman, who by blowing wind through his mouth dispelled a storm, and enemy weapons and enemies like small soldiers would get blown away by the wind.

Arjun’s charioteer was Krishna who drove his chariot so fast that even before Arjun’s arrows touched the target, Arjuns chariot would have crossed it.

Arjun could pull arrow from both his hands, and could fight enemy invisible only through his sound. He could hit even at the leg of fly. He could send arrows as long as 200 yojan, that's 1600 miles.

Both Karna and Arjun could fight simultaneously with 1 Lakh Warriors along with their Armies.

Arjun and Karna’s shortfall - they were ordinary if without Astras. Karna needed both Boons and Astras to win. Arjun needed Astras only.

Bheema's speciality:

He was of superior most strength. He never used Astras. He was faster than Astra.

He was hotter than Astra i.e. Astras got burnt to ashes when touched Bheema.

He could dispel any Astra by his mere speed and strength. He had strength even in his skin. The weapons never hurt him as he could easily cut them through his hands and fists.

His hit of fists powdered mountains. He killed elephants and soldiers with fists only. He could kill 2 crore people in two vighatika 48 seconds.

He could fly, pierce through fire without getting hurt. He ran faster than chariots. He obstructed chariots by killing elephants and piling it all around the chariot.

His roar deafened horses and they died on the spot vomiting blood. He was terrible in the war, enemies ran away just by seeing him hence

He is known as BHEEMSEN. As Bheem only relied on strength and no astras or boons, he was the superior most Warrior.

Nara Narayan and Karna

By Sri Chiraan 2009/05/14

Karna was a demon by name Dambhodbhav in his previous birth. Dambodbhav did penance to Sun for many years. Pleased with his penance, Sun appeared before him and asked him to partake a boon. Dambodbhav asked for immortality. Sun said no one can become immortal, as all those who have taken birth should die, this the law of the nature set by NARAYANA, thus he can ask for something else.

Dambodbhav asked something that would be akin to immortality. He asked "oh Lord Sun kindly give me a 1000 KAvach – Kundal that should not break for at least 1000 years, and one who breaks it should die immediately". Sun grants him the boon. 

Dambodbhav smitten with pride created havoc in the world, and none could kill Dambodbhav, and none dared to fight as that would mean definite death. So when the world was besieged with the cruelty of Dambodbhav, sages and devatas went to Lord Narayana asked for the relief.

Lord Narayana took the form of two sages along with NARA. NARA-NARAYANA. The sages confronted the Demon, Narayana sat in meditation tapasya, for a 1000 years with mrit sanjeevani vidya, while nara would fight with Dambhodbhav. After 1000 years Nara would break the kavach and die, Narayana would bring him back to life and continue the fight. Nara would complete the tapasya for 1000 years as Narayana fought the battle and break another kavach, thus each would alternatively fight and practise tapasya and cut the kavach. This continued for 999 times in 1000000 years. The fight went on for 1000000 years, and when the last Kavach was left, Dambhodbhav fled the battle field and hid behind SUN in surya mandal, Sun gave him shelter. Nara Narayana demanded the demon to be handed over but SUN pleaded on behalf of him. Thus Nara cursed SUN to be born along with the demon and be killed.

For having given shelter to Demon and going against Narayana, Sun took the birth as KARNA along with suryavarman demon [ Dambhodbhav]. This time he was born with the 1000th kavach kundal naturally by the grace of previous boon by SUN.

Nara and NARAYANA were born again as Arjun and Krishna.

This kavach whoever breaks it would die and hence, had to be begged back by Indra. As demon would not give it, Karna had SUN also born in this birth as Amsa. With the quality of giving dana readily, SUN gave back the KAVACH he had been tricked to offer by DAMBHODBHAV, and created havoc in the world. Thus Indra tricked Dambhodbhav, and SUN rectified his mistake.

The presence of Dambhodbhav and Narkasur in the Karna made him undergo untold misery and misfortunes. But his previous tapasya and presence of SUN made him a hero as well. Apart from that due to immense devotion that Sugreeeva had done in Ramayana. Krishna himself manifested in KARNA to make him unparalleled due to Parshuram’s chariot and Bhargava astra. Whenever the whole Pandava ARMY trembled on account of KARNA, it was actually Krishna in him that made the balance in the WAR. At all such times, Karna won and became difficult to conquer like swayamvar of Jarasandha’s daughter, use of Bhargav astra, use of shakti, use of Bramhastra, riding Chariot of Parshuram etc.

As with Kavach on, had Arjun killed Karna, even Arjun would have lost his life, just like previous birth fight. Thus Kavach was taken away and returned to Suryaloka. Now Sun had to be released from runanubandha of Indra, on account of shelter to demon and also on account of killing VALI.

Thus he was killed unarmed to set right the score and make way for sun to go back to Surya Loka and NARA NARAYANA to return to NARAYANAASHRAMA in upper Badri .
