MISSCONCEPTION DRONA DID NOT TEACH DIVINE WEAPONS TO KARNA

TIME TO CLEAR MORE MISCONCEPTIONS -

1)MISCONCEPTION :DRONA DID NOT TEACH DIVINE WEAPONS TO KARNA.

2)MISCONCEPTION :PARSHURAM TAUGHT ONLY BRAHMINS.

3)MISCONCEPTION :KARNA WAS FINANCIALLY WEAK BEFORE BECOMING KING OF ANGA.

4)MISCONCEPTION :KARNA WENT TO PARSHURAM FOR WEAPONS AFTER VIRAAT WAR.

---------------------------

1)MISCONCEPTION :DRONA DID NOT TAUGHT DIVINE WEAPONS TO KARNA.

>>>VANA PARVA -

Karna to Surya:

"Thou knowest, O deity, that I have great strength of weapons obtained from Jamadagnya and the high-souled Drona."

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m03/m03300.htm

Here Karna tells Surya that he has obtained Divine weapons from both Drona and Parshuram.Karna went to Parshuram for Brahmastra,but his main tutelage was under Drona only.

>>>SANTI PARVA -

Endued with great energy, that child came to have the status of a Suta. He subsequently acquired the science of weapons from the preceptor (Drona), that foremost descendant of Angirasa's race.

------------------------------

2)MISCONCEPTION :PARSHURAM ONLY TAUGHT BRAHMINS.

This is commonly shown on TV Serials and on many Karna blogs you can see this but its apparently untrue.This is shown to justify Karna's lying about his caste to Parshuram.

We all know that lord Parshuram Taught the great Grandsire Bhishma who is a Kshatriya,apart from him,he also taught RUKMI,who was also a Kshatriya.Rukmi was taught,both by Kimpurusha Drona(Druma) as well as Lord Parshuram.

As the great valiant king, the son of bhIShmaka, equal to druma and bhArgava(rAma) and trained by druma and bhArgava(rAma), was killed

SO KARNA FANS,NOW THE EXCUSE OF PARSHURAM TEACHING ONLY BRAHMINS WON'T WORK.DRONA WAS RIGHT IN REJECTING KARNA FOR BRAHMASTRA,EVEN PARSHURAM WOULD HAVE REJECTED HIM,HAD HE SPOKEN TRUTH.THAT'S WHY KARNA LIED.

KARNA FANS SAY THAT DRONA WAS THE WORST TEACHER,EVEN IF WE AGREE ,THEN WHY DID KARNA NEEDED TO LIE TO PARHSURAM? ITSELF PROVES THAT KARNA WAS WRONG AND DRONA/PARSHURAM WERE RIGHT.

3)MISCONCEPTION :KARNA WAS FINANCIALLY WEAK BEFORE BECOMING KING OF ANGA.

>>>VANA PARVA -

Narrative:

"Meanwhile, the basket floated from the river Aswa to the river Charmanwati, and from the Charmanwati it passed to the Yamuna, and so on to the Ganga. And carried by the waves of the Ganga, the child contained in the basket came to the city of Champa ruled by a person of the Suta tribe."

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m03/m03306.htm

Here we can read,the basket containing Karna was received in the of City of Champa,which was ruled by a Suta(Related to Adhiratha)

As per Srimad Bhagavatam, Adhiratha descended from Yayati and therefore was related to Krishna. He was also the descendant of Rompad, the king of Angdesh and brother in law of Maharaja Dashratha king of Ayodhya.

Read the next Page:

"Vaisampayana said, "And it came to pass that at this time a Suta named Adhiratha, who was a friend of Dhritarashtra, came to the river Ganga, accompanied by his wife."

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m03/m03307.htm

Adhirath receives Karna,and he has been described as a "Friend of Dhritrashtra",so a friend of King will obviously not be poor.Adhiratha was also royal.

He was a charioteer only by 'Caste'.

(Champa was later snatched by Jarasandha)

>>>SANTI PARVA -

Narrative:

"Though cursed, Karna still sought to gratify that foremost of Brahmanas by offering him kine and wealth and gems."

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m12/m12a002.htm

Here Karna offers Cows,Wealth and Diamonds to the Brahmin whose cow he killed,if he was poor,how would he manage Wealth and Diamonds ???

---------------------------------------

4)MISCONCEPTION :KARNA WENT TO PARSHURAM FOR WEAPONS AFTER VIRAAT WAR.

This is a theory of Super Intelligent author "Shivaji Sawant" which he brought up in his fictional novel "Mrityunjay".Some Karna fans take this seriously though.So to blow this fake bubble,we shall quote some incidents-

>>>INCIDENT 1 - FROM VANA PARVA

Narrative:

Karna to Surya:

"Thou knowest, O deity, that I have great strength of weapons obtained from Jamadagnya and the high-souled Drona."

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m03/m03300.htm

Here Karna tells Surya that he has obtained weapons from Jamadagnya(Parshuram),and this incident is from Vana Parva,which is before Virat battle.

(THEORY BLOWN)

>>>INCIDENT 2 - NARAD MUNI RETELLING EVENTS IN SANTI PARVA

Narrative:

When Drona had answered thus, Karna, having worshipped him, obtained his leave, and proceeded without delay to Rama then residing on the Mahendra mountains. Approaching Rama, he bent his head unto him and said, 'I am a Brahmana of Bhrigu's race.'

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m12/m12a002.htm

Here we can read,after leaving from Drona's gurukul,Karna without any delay went to Parshuram,so it means Karna and Pandavs were on the same timeline during Gurukul.When the training of Pandavas and Kauravs was going on,at the same time Karna was also taught under Parshuram.

(THEORY BLOWN AGAIN)

>>>INCIDENT 3 - JARASANDHA AND KARNA'S DUEL

Following Narad Muni's retelling in Santi Parva,Karna and Jarasandha fought after Karna's education under Parshuram was complete.

Bhima killed Jarasandha in Sabha Parva,so its obvious that Karna fought Jarasandha before Sabha Parva.So it Again proves that Karna's education under Parshuram was completed much before Sabha Parva.(On the same timeline as Pandavas and Kurus with Drona)
