MAHABHARATA - Discussion Thread

[Champ_Pal]

why not? this thread is about Mahabharatha not about any other thing, yet i see that some want to bring in other religions into discussion to prove their point.

The thread title asks whether its a myth or not, on britannica encyclopedia its mentioned as mythical story and often i have seen Indians discuss about nuclear war in Mahabharata with full seriousness.

So basically, i shouldnt be calling this a myth because some people around here will get offended? So i have to accept the nuclear war in mahabharata as reality?

Brahmastra does not mean nuclear weapon. The destruction it can cause was compared to a nuclear weapon by modern scholars and conspiracy theorists.

It is absolutely clear that a small local event that happened a few thousand years ago got vastly exaggerated by the writers. Extraordinary men of that time got literally deified and made them super heroes.

I believe that it is mostly a factual event with a lot of Garam Masala and lavish tadka added to it. Archeological evidence is lacking for all these events. Its hard to find too as it was supposed to have happened about 5000 years ago.

but still people claim it happened... Might aswell mock such people who believe in such myths

Sure you can mock. But be consistent with all religions. There is ridiculous stuff everywhere.

 

[Mamoon]

bro, this isnt an Islam thread?
and the op (who is a troll), made the the thread title whether Mahabaharat is a MYTH or REALITY?

I am getting the sense that some are convincing others that its a reality and saying other wise is targeting the religion. And in this discussion how can one ignore the so called nuclear war?

in the past 2 pages of this thread, nothing serious has been discussed. No one mentions the radition that they say emits from one of the location and how they claim their was a nuclear war in BC era

There is such stuff in every religion but if you believe something you try to justify it. If you take a neutral point of view and look at some of the stories in Islam you will feel the same.

We all believe what we want to believe so there is no reason to mock anyone or try to prove them wrong.

Anyone who believes in Mahabharata will not stop believing if you criticize it but it might hurt their sentiments.

Muslims in particular should not criticize or mock such things because they cannot take it themselves. No group is easier to offend and takes more time to get offended.

My advice for you and other Muslims is to say out of this thread and give our Hindu friends space to discuss this.

Personally I am quite fascinated by this epic and also Ramayana which I have studied a bit. I would like to know more about Mahabharata one day when I have time but I would like to do so without judgement and without the need of proving anyone wrong or proving it a myth to satisfy my ego.

The funniest thing in this world is people of one religion trying to mock followers of another religion and accusing them of believing in myths and fantasies when every single religion in the world relies on blind faith.

If you were born in a Hindu family and you would have grown up studying Mahabharata and would have been conditioned to believe that it is true, you wouldn’t be calling it a myth today.

It is the same reason why you can believe in the existence of angels and jinns, in life hereafter, in stories of the Prophet’s journey to the seven heavens in one night, in Dajjal, in the return of Prophet Jesus etc. and so forth.

You have been conditioned to believe that all of that is true but your viewpoint would have been completely different if you weren’t raised in a Muslim family.

The bottomline is that we all need to give each other space to believe what they want to believe without mocking their beliefs or trying to prove them wrong.

Interfaith harmony is very easy to achieve if only people can make peace with the fact that they don’t need to impose themselves on other people to satisfy their fragile egos.

Hinduism is too complex for the average mind. You would need a lifetime of education and research to grasp its philosophical intricacies.

To confine Hinduism to a religion where people worship idols and believe in mythical stories is not even equivalent to a drop in the ocean.

Unfortunately, people who don’t know the first thing about Hinduism still feel the need to argue about it.

Why argue about something that you don’t know anything about? It is absurd.

I know about Ganesh but I don’t know what Ganesh Chaturthi is. If I want to learn about it I will but I wouldn’t mock it.

I am a Muslim because I was born in a Muslim family. Not because I chose to become a Muslim.

It was a fluke of birth just like it was for you. This is why I have a lot of respect for converts because it is never easy to dispose your beliefs and adopt something that was not drilled into your in your formative years.

You would have celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi if you were born in a Hindu family and you would be mocking Islam today. That is the irony of the situation.

We all think we follow the right religion just because we have been brought up to believe so. As a result, believe what you want to believe and let others believe what they want to believe.

 

[Bhaijaan]

A myth, even encyclopaedias call it a mythical story.

Lol there were nuclear wars during BC era? Sure. Whatever convinces people

You would be calling for my beheading if i described Islamic stories in a similar manner. So kindly show some respect towards other beliefs.

Honestly this level of commenting is more suitable for unmoderated darker sides of the Internet and not a respectable forum like Pakpassion.

Let’s be reasonable men.

Islam doesn't need myths to prove it's the right religion , even if you don't include any of the miracles of our prophet in propagating Islam , Islamic history is enough to prove it's correctness , How on earth mere 313 soldiers without even proper swords or horses defeated an army of 1000+? How on earth Quran predicted the rise of Roman empire against Persia? How on earth Quran the only religious book (or the only book in existence) which is in the heart of countless Muslims word by word ,How on earth an illiterate person who can't even read or right can produce socio and economic laws of human life based on fitra which if obeyed will relief poverty and will result in fair distribution of wealth among the nation , how on earth he can devise such law which if applied will solve the problems of women remain unmarried throughout their lives/after losing their husband.
How on earth those same muslims upon getting the sovereignty of a huge empire when started showing signs of disobeying to Allah getting replaced by Infidels (Tatari/Mongols) and then Allah made those tatari in to muslims , These all things are historical facts and not some myths
So any sane mind with logic and wisdom and which is guided by Allah will choose to accept factual religion instead of his birth religion which is based on myths and blind faith with no historical accuracy and facts

You have completely disregarding all the myths in Islam which shares nearly identical mythology with followers of Christianity and Jewish faith. Adam/Eve , Noah may not be myths for you but for many its a regarded as myth.

 

[MenInG]

Lets discuss the topic.

Nothing other than what is in the first post will be allowed to be discussed.

 

[jeetu]

I clearly said Islam doesn’t need myths to convince or invite someone for it’s truth and Ofcourse what you said it’s part of our belief not myth but again we don’t have to present that part in order to convince someone not aware of Islam, there are countless other ways and I didn’t even touch the miracles of Quran subject

Every religion has a moral code and that's what sustain it. Islam is not the only exception to that rule. Mythological elements of it expands it , most times to enhance that point. If Islam didn't needed the mythological element then it would have been discarded long back.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Christian missionaries uses those stories and invite others to Christianity by means of blind faith not Muslims,

I've always thought it to be a Tolkien style epic that rivals LOTR that someone penned down thousands of years ago.

If I had the rights to it, I would sell it to Netflix so that they could make a much better serial version than what was produced by Doordarshan in the 1980s.

There is no physical evidence for Mahabharata or Ramayana stories. Only Hindu and Jain scriptures mention the story and the story varies a lot in both narratives. If Netflix wants, they can make a much better serial with best CGI that is available. It will be a great hit in India.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Islam & Christianity also has the story of Nuu(Noah), Yunus(Jonas) and the story of Miraj(Night journey). Religious stories add and enhance to make the believers more religious.

 

[MenInG]

Think some comprehension issues here?

I asked for the thread to be about the title only

No need to compare with Islam etc - that is for another thread

 

[PakLFC]

As most have said here it is a combination of truth and falsehood. The Qur'an does say that every nation was sent Prophet's so we can not mock Hindu religious figures. Such stories are so old that historians are unable to verify them.

 

[Hitman]

I do believe the Mahabharata war did take place. But it has been combined with a lot of fantasy stories. That's my take.

Doordarshan actually made far superior version then the latter one. Mahabharta being a religious epic doesn't need licensing however anyone who makes it has to walk a tight rope because there are always people who will find some part offensive. Mahabharata character has characters that even goes further back than Raja Bharat , so if series creator wants it can last 20 years by sticking to source meterial. Also there are Mahabharbharta characters and their stories which goes generations further than Pandavas.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

If Muslims can have serious discussions over the rise of a one eyed evil being and a messiah and a prophet descending from the heavens will join hands to defeat him, Hindus can also have serious discussions over Mahabharata.

One man’s mythical story is another man’s truth. It all depends on your faith and what you choose to believe in. Again, let’s not disrespect other religious sentiments when we cannot take it ourselves and have zero tolerance in this regard.

Yep. If you were to analyze any religion's scripture, AND I mean, ANY religion's using a historical-critical method, they would all fall apart fairly easily.

You need a quantum leap of faith to accept any of this stuff.

The poster you quoted would probably blow a head gasket if I were to question the historical development of the Quran as opposed to the version 1500 years of Muslims have heard from hadiths .

At some point, you need blind faith to accept any of it as rational, objective truth.

I find it hilarious that some posters have such weak faith that to defend Mahabharata they have to bring in Islam.

Although i am a liberal and dont indulge in islamic discussions that much, but one thing I have notice that no muslim on this forum has to use other religions to back their point. The posters of Islamic faith have enough faith to defend whatever the topic is.

Its baffling to see that when posters here see the flaws in the logic of Mahabharata or whatever they believe in, they are trying to bring Islam into this thread.

Islam has nothing to do with this thread. If you faith in your religion defend it without dragging Islam in. Or else it just means you also think Mahabharata is flawed and just accept that, instead of bringing in Islam.

No you dont need blind faith.

You are gonna say that you need blind faith that a nuclear war took place in BC era? lol, you may need blind faith, but i dont need any faith to believe such a thing happened.

Whats next, you need blind faith to believe that pigs can fly?

I find it hilarious that you think that it's a great idea to defend apologists who have to do incredible mental gymnastics to justify their position . And maybe you've not seen it but apologists tend to trash others' viewpoints and beliefs to make their own point .

Also, only myopic fools would look at others' flawed beliefs and sit on a pretty perch while believing in a similarly gross distortion of reality themselves .

Defending something with blind faith in itself is pointless and fruitless.

But then again , you seem to have made a habit of in all your views, religious or otherwise

so you don't need blind faith to justify that Prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven on winged horse ?
I find it funny that Muslims look down on other religions, make fun of them, call non muslim Kaafirs, behead people who don't believe in Islam in the name of Quran, like my Sikh Gurus.. and then when someone questions something about Islam go bat crazy and a killing spree. Have some shame..

like i said, if you believe in mahabharata that talk about it and defend your belief without dragging in Islam.

There are other threads for Islamic topics. And when we discuss Islamic topics, we dont need to use other religion stories to defend Islamic topics.

By dragging Islam into this thread, just shows weak faiths in your own beliefs.

Well the beliefs are of individual. The whole point is to not make fun of it, but as you can see it in this thread there are some really sad posts about mocking other faiths, especially Hinduism. This is a common trait, and when you guys are questioned about the tendency is to chicken out of the debate by saying that faith is weak. It is a very weak argument to make.
No ones faith is weak and no one has to defend his/her faith.

faith is weak when you bring in another religion.


thing is thread title says myth or reality.

I find mahabharata a myth because people think nuclear war took place. Now if someone finds this sad, mocking etc, than this thread serves no purpose. Because a group is not ready to accept anything but reality argument.

 

[FPresidential]

Those who claim to be Muslim because they were born in a Muslim family have a choice to be not Muslim, at least on a random forum they can claim to be non-Muslim, no one is going to get offended.

Mahabharata Author(s) never claimed that there was nuclear war. You are watching too much of "Ancient Alien" conspiracy theorists. Some modern Hindus are running with the nuclear war idea to prop up themselves.
Embellishing local events into gigantic global proportions is a common theme for all cultures. Hindus are no exception.

out of 100 posts, the only post that is relevent.

Bro, thing is there are people that defend the nuclear aspect to the point that some even give a reference of Oppenheimer where they claim he also believed it was a nuclear event.

point is, if the defenders of it will say it was a nuclear event, than that shows how mythical the whole thing is.

 

[jeetu]

Some weapons mentioned in the Hinduism mythology are different. There are conventional weapons like swords , mace , bow-arrow etc. I call them physical weapon. Then there is a case of weapon which have mental aspect to them. Some weapons can be even recalled. Good example being Brahmashira weapon being recalled by Arjuna. Ashwatthama invokes his Brahmashira against the Pandavas from a tiny blade of grass. Brahmshira destructive capability is not than dissimilar from Atomic/Nuclear weapon. So i get the conspiracy theorist making money of it.

From Wikipedia regarding Brahamshira - When this weapon is invoked, "It blazes up with terrible flames within a huge sphere of fire. Numerous peals of thunder to be heard, fissures start on earth, rivers become dry, thousands of meteors fell and all living creatures became terrified with great dread. The entire sky seemed to be filled with noise and assumed a terrible aspect with flames of fire. The whole earth with her mountains and waters and trees trembled". When it strikes an area, it will be destroyed and nothing will ever grow there,.

In Hinduism its stated that people from earlier Yuga were stronger than following one. So warriors from Ramayana era were stronger than Mahabharata era. Only select few from later era could match upto earlier era. Krishna i believe was the strongest person born in Dyapar Yuga who could match Rama of Treta Yuga. They both were avatar of Vishnu. Good example being Hanumanaji vs Bheema. Bheema struggled to lift Hanumanji's tail. Bheema was reckoned to be among the strongest (physically) person in Mahabharata era.

He pointed out your hypocrisy because you claim your religion to be reality when that is just a mythical.

When the hypocrisy is pointed out, you hide behind the 'why bring other religion into this argument'

Just accept each other for their beliefs, we all don't have to agree with each other, but no need to mock other beliefs.

read the thread title, the OP himself gave the option whether you believe its a myth or Reality.

You are basically forcing posters to accept that Mahabharata is a reality and cannot be a myth. THats not discussions go. And i see this thread represents the problem in India. You have accept one thing, you cannot critique it or call it a myth. Even though the OP himself added it in the thread title.

Its not like this thread is about rejoicing the tale of Mahabharata, its a topic where you can be on the side of reality or be on the side of myth.

and i am on the side of myth

and for some reason you guys are taking this as insult.

Also, bringing in other religions to this thrad isnt hypocrisy, its the protocol of discussion. No one is stop you from making a thread on other topics, but this thread is for a belief whether its a myth or reality. But while some cant prove its reality, they try to bring other religions lol. Thats called not believeing in your own thing and relying on others

You, I and other Muslims are not qualified to debate whether Mahabharata is a myth or reality because (a) we don’t know anything about it and (b) as Muslims, we don’t believe in Hinduism.

As a result, we add no merit to this argument and our assessment has zero significance. Please leave this thread to people who believe in Hinduism.

There are Hindus who question Mahabharata’s events and there are those who don’t.

As Muslims, what value do we bring to this thread? Absolutely zero.

It is like Hindus debating if Prophet Jesus will come back, or if the Prophet’s journey to heaven was a dream or physical journey, or whether Dajjal is a metaphor or an actual being etc.

So if muslims are not qualified to debate than why is a mahabaratha thread existing on pakpassion where 90 percent posters are muslim?

On all other threads related to religion is there first a scrutiny for what religion you belong to be fore discussing?

You are not the mod, so plz dont come and make up your own rules here just because you have issues with my post..

Like i said, if people believe in this, no need to bring in other religions tp defend your own faith.
