Q4 When Shri Krishna returned after thewar of Mahabharata, Rukmani, was filled with anger and questioned him.Why? A4 Chauhan Babu Nath,18h Everything else wasfine in the war. But why did you support the killing of pious people like“Dronacharya” and “Bhishma Pitamah”?? “Shri Krishna” replied. It is true that bothof them followed religion throughout their lives. But one "sin"committed by him destroyed all his "virtues". What sins werethose?? When"Draupadi" was being dissected in the crowd. Then both of them werealso present there. Being an elder, he could have stopped Dushasan. But he didnot do this. Due to this one sin of his, all his other religious activitiesfell short. And"Karna" was famous for his charity. No one left his door emptyhanded. Why did you help in his death? What was his mistake?? Hey darling! Youare telling the truth. He was famous for his generosity and never said no toanyone. But when Abhimanyu was lying on the ground injured in the battlefieldafter defeating all the warriors. So he asked Karnafor water. There was a pit of water near where Karna was standing. But Karnadid not give water to the dying Abhimanyu. Therefore, the "virtue" hehad earned through charity throughout his life was destroyed. Later, the wheelof his chariot got stuck in the same pit and he was killed. Hey Rukmani! oftenhappens. When something wrong is happening around humans and they do nothing.They think that they are not guilty of this “sin”. If they are not ina position to help then they can tell the truth that they cannot do anything.He is in no position to help. But they don't evendo that. By not doing so, they also become equally guilty of that"sin". The more one commits a “sin”. Q5 What are some of the best "Apriest, a pastor and a rabbi…" jokes?
