MISCONCEPTION:- LORD SHIVA FOUGHT ON BEHALF OF ARJUNA IN KURU WAR

Whenever Karna fans lose a debate, They always cry that it was Lord Shiva who was using Karna for his archery practice, not Arjuna.😂

But truth is that Lord Shiva was present on battlefield only for one battle, not always.

Let's see, When Prince Arjuna beheld Lord Shiva in battle, I meant we would try to see that when Lord Shiva came in battle to accompany Arjuna.

1) It is clearly written in Mahabharat that Arjuna saw Lord Shiva during the death of Drona, which means Lord Shiva was not present on battlefield before this.

BORI CE, DRONA PARVA- 173

‘Dhritarashtra asked, “O Sanjaya! WHEN the atiratha DRONA WAS KILLED THERE, what did thoseon my side and the Pandavas do next?”‘Sanjaya replied, “WHEN atiratha DRONA WAS KILLED BY PARSHATA and the KOURAVAS WERE ROUTED, DHANANJAYA, Kunti’s son, SAW(PAST TENSE) A GREAT WONDER that SIGNIFIED HIS VICTORY. O bull amongthe Bharata lineage! He went to Vyasa, who had come there

EXPLANATION:- 

From the above narrative, it is clear that Someone(Lord Shiva) was helping Arjuna to rout all the Kauravas during Drona's death. So Shiva was not present in any battle other than the above battle.

2) ARJUNA TOLD VYASA THAT HE SAW A PERSON WHO WAS WALKING BEFORE HIM AND ROUTED ALL THE KAURAVAS(IN THE ABOVE BATTLE).

I saw a manadvancing in front of me. His complexion was like that of the fire. In whatever direction he advanced, with a blazing and upraised spear, in that direction, the enemy was seen to beshattered. His feet did not touch the earth and he did not hurl his spear. But because of his energy, thousands of spears were released from that spear. He is the one who routed the entire enemy, though people think I routed them. From the rear, I only pursued the soldierswhom he had scorched. O illustrious one! O great Krishna! Who was that supreme being?Tell me. He had a spear in his hand and his energy was like that of the sun.’

3) LORD VYASA ALSO ACCEPTED THAT YES LORD SHIVA WAS ADVANCING INFRONT OF YOU IN THAT BATTLE , AND IT WAS LORD SHIVA WHO DEFEATED DRONA, KARNA AND KRIPA AT THAT TIME.

LORD VYASA TO ARJUNA:- 

O Partha! IN_THAT FIERCE_BATTLE, when the body hair stood up, it is he who preceded you through hisfavours. That army WAS protected by great archers and strikers like Drona, Karna and Kripa.O Partha! Who other than that great archer and god could think of countering it, even in the

mind?

EXPLANATION:- 

There was a mystrious battle which happened during Drona's death. Drona, Karna and Kripa were defending their armies, And Arjuna was defending his armies, at that time Lord Shiva came in battle and destroyed all the Kauravas.

Notice the words "In that fierce battle" in the above narrative

4) LORD VYASA SAID THAT NO ONE CAN FACE LORD SHIVA IN BATTLE EVEN FOR A MOMENT BUT WE SEE THAT THERE WERE MANY BATTLES WHERE ARJUNA TOOK SOME MINUTES TO DEFEAT HIS ENEMIES, IT ITSELF PROVES THAT SHIVA WAS NOT ALWAYS PRESENT ON BATTLEFIELD.

Lord Vyasa to Arjuna:- 

Narrative:- When Maheshvara strides around in that form, who can venture to stand in front of

him? 

ALL THE ABOVE NARRATIVES PROVES THAT LORD SHIVA HAD COME IN BATTLE ONLY FOR ONE BATTLE

[[PART-2]]

There is one more evidance which says that Lord Shiva was present on battlefield, I want to refute that statement too.

Lord Krisna told Arjuna in Anugita that Lord Shiva was advancing infront of you but Nowhere written that he was talking about Kuru war

May be he was talking about an unknown war, where Krishna protected Arjuna, And Lord Shiva accompanied Arjuna there to slay his enemies. 

Why am i saying that Lord Krishna was not referring to kuru war because after the death of Jaydratha, Lord Krishna himself accepted that Arjuna ALONE did everything in war.

BORI CE, DRONA PARVA-123

Krishna to Arjuna:- 

Your valour and strength are like that ofRudra and the Destroyer. There is no one else who could have exhibited such valour in battle.O unblemished one! O scorcher of enemies! There is no one like you and YOU ACCOMPLISHED THIS #ALONE. Once the evil-minded Karna has been killed, with his followers, and you havedefeated and slain that enemy, I will praise you even more.’

EXPLANATION:- From the above narrative it is clear that no one was helping Arjuna in war. He did not have any external support.

Now don't say Karna fans that Lord Krishna was lying here.😂😂

Moreover, On the 17th day of Kuru war Sanjaya also accepted in actual event that Arjuna ALONE was fighting in war.

Horsemen, O monarch, wandering hither and thither, were seen to fall down deprived of life by the shafts of Partha. At that time the might of Arjuna's arms was seen. (So great was that might) that #ALONE, in that battle, he vanquished horsemen and elephants and car-warriors (that had been assailing him from every side).

BORI CE, KARNA PARVA-59

Thousands of them were seen, like the cities of the gandharvas. O great king!Horse riders ran hither and thither.They were seen there, brought down by Partha’s arrows. At thattime, Pandava showed the strength of his arms. #SINGLE-HANDEDLY, he defeated the riders, the elephantsand the chariots in the battle.

[[Part-3]]-

Even if we accept that Lord Krishna was referring to Kuru war in Anugita, then also it does not prove that Lord Shiva was always present in Kuru War, it means he was reffering to 15th day of Kuru war, where Lord Shiva had accompanied Arjuna.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST:-

There are countless proofs in mahabharat , which prove that the later event does not matter.

For example:- If we read Gandharvas war in actual event then Karna had ran away from Gandharvas by lifting his both legs but the cross reference says that Gandharvas had captured Karna too

See it👇👇

BORI CE, Udhyog parva-136

Bhisma said to Duryodhana:- 

Narr:- Karna and the others and you yourself with yourarmour and chariot, were freed at the time of the expedition of the cattle. This is sufficient proof. 

EXPLANATION:- In the above narrative, we can see that the cross reference does not match with the actual event hence we can not take later event seriously.

And Shiva's presence on the 15th day of Kuru war is written in later event, not in actual event.

Conclusion:- Lord Shiva was never present in Kuru war.
