Hare Krishna. Question from Krishna Mahaprabhu. When Kunti told the Pandavas that you should share whatever you have got and she did not know that it was not a fool or anything it was actually a bride.
So when she had spoken those words without knowing why was it necessary for the Pandavas to implement that word blindly? Couldn’t that word have been avoided when the context was known? Answer. Yes. It is not that just because Kunti spoke those words the Pandavas decided to marry, all the Pandavas decided to marry Draupadi.
Her words were definitely, they played a major role. In fact they were what, in those circumstances initiated the thought that all the five may marry Draupadi but even after that there was a significant discussion. So it was not Kunti’s words alone that caused the Pandavas to marry Draupadi but we understand that when there are great devotees involved Kunti Maharani is a great devotee then even their incidental or unknowing words often play a part in some higher plan of the Lord and those higher forces that were involved in the development of this extraordinary marriage they became revealed later when Vyasadev himself came over there and just as we feel reservations about why one woman had to marry five husbands so those same reservations were expressed by Draupadi’s protectors also by Maharaj Draupadi her father as well as her brother Dushya Jumna and when both of them expressed those apprehensions so at that time Vyasadev himself came and Vyasadev told the story he gave some precedence of how there have been in exceptional situations women who have married multiple husbands and further he stated that Draupadi was in her previous life the daughter of a sage and she wanted a good husband and somehow for whatever reason she was not getting a husband so she performed a lot of austerity to Lord Shiva and when Lord Shiva appeared before her in her excited frenzy she asked give me a husband, give me a husband, give me a husband, give me a husband five times like that and then Lord Shiva said that in future you will have five husbands so there are multiple circumstances involved in this it was not that Pandavas are following blindly just because Kunti said it blind following means that one doesn’t consider the broader situation so yes did the Pandavas deliberate, did they discuss blind means that no, no objection is to be heard this is to be done and that’s all that is to be done but the Pandavas decision was not like that Kunti’s words were the initial stimulus, strong stimulus no doubt but later on there was discussion and then a great sage like Vyasadev sanctioned it and not only sanctioned it he told about precedence or something similar and he for this particular situation told past incident which had caused this then the Pandavas and then they went ahead with the whole thing so it was not blind following, it was deliberated following which began through an unintentional or uninformed statement that was also a part of a larger plan being uncovered being manifested, thank you
