Karna's Last Wish

Not a lot of people know about this story. But don't worry I will tell you this what was karna's Last wish and how it was fulfilled by Lord Krishna. This story is belongs to 17th day of Mahabharat in which Karna died. Basically Karna was super powerful and a biggest donor till today and no one was like him and no one can become like him. But his only fault was to stand with unrighteousness. That's why he was killed by Arjuna. Let me tell you overview of beginning of the Mahabharat Yudh. There was a women named Draupadi who is also known as Panchali because she have 5 husbands named Yudhishthir, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula, Sahadeva.



So, the story begins when Draupadi was in Kaurava's palace(court) and when Karna and Duryodhana were misbehaving with her and then they tear her clothes(Saari) and when they try to open the saari Draupadi try to stop them but didn't. And then Draupadi remind Lord Shri Krishna and then suddenly Draupadi's saari became infinite and they were pulling it but it became never ending saari and they were pulling it and its never ending. And when all five Pandavas know that Karna and Duryodhana misbehave with there wife Draupadi they became very angry and Bhima promise her that he will wash Draupadi's hair with the blood of Duryodhana. When Duryodhana was doing this all and all the people present in the palace were watching him and nobody stop him. And through this act they were also became a part of unrighteousness and in future they will get punished for this act.



So let's back to the story. I hope now you get understand that who were Karna. And when Arjuna was fighting for get justice for Draupadi he was too afraid to do that and as Shri Krishna was with him and he was driving his rath he was a Saarthi of Arjuna. And at this moment he motivate him and tell him the precious knowledge about this universe. How this universe works and tell him what to do and he told him he is the one God. All that knowledge is present in one of our religious book actually it is not just a book it is the way of living life. I advice you to read that book. You will understand that why you were born in this universe ultimately you will find the purpose of your life. Now let's back to our topic.Karna was Mahadani and this title was given by Shri Krishna to Karna.


He was the eldest brother if Pandavas but Pandavas got to know this truth after his death. And then Arjuna was too depressed that he killed his own brother. That was very shocking for Arjuna. Now the story is begins when Arjuna and Karna was fighting with each other. And it was 17th day of Mahabharat there was rain if arrows from both side. And sunset were very close and there were no solution of this war and it was a rule of Mahabharat that no one will fight after sunset. And war will be start from another day morning. Shri Krishna was in trouble that if Karna will not die on that day so it will be very difficult to win the war for Pandavas. That's why Lord Shri Krishna wanted that on the 17th may he die. And the same thing happened and then suddenly Shri Krishna move the rath and they started going out of the war by showing there back to Karna. And then Arjuna Said to Shri Krishna that why Shri Krishna we are going out of the war by showing our back.


My war is still going on with Karna and running out of the war that is the sign of cowardice. Then Shri Krishna said that Arjuna we are establishing religion. And sometime when we are establishing religion we have to leave war. As you know that whole world also known me through the name 'Rannchhor' (this word refers to a person who leave war) Rann is meant by war place and chhor means that leave. And do as I say to you the result would be in your interest. Then Karna was chasing them with his rath. And then after went too far Shri Krishna stopped the rath at a particular place. Then Karna come to that place and they started a war with arrows and then suddenly Karna rath's tiers were sunk inti the ground. The ground was not hard enough to support the weight of the rath. And that's exactly Shri Krishna wanted to do. And then Karna come out of his rath to move out the tiers of rath and then Arjuna stopped his arrows.


Then Shri Krishna said that Arjuna don't stop keep doing he is unarmed and this is our only chance to kill him. Then Arjuna Said that it is wrong I can't do that and from the other side Karna also said that Arjuna don't attack on me let me fix my rath's tiers then you can but Shri Krishna said Arjuna if you wanted to win the war then you have to do that. Kill him by Anjulika arrow. And do as Shri Krishna said. This arrow hit Karna between his neck and he was at the point of death. Then all the Pandavas were very happy and then Arjuna Said that see Shri Krishna I killed him you give him a name Danveer Karna. Donor Karna is lying on the ground floor. And then Shri Krishna know that Arjuna is overconfident on him to break his overconfident he does an act to show Pandavas that who is Karna.



Then Shri Krishna said that Arjuna Karna was not just a donor he was Mahadani Karna. The Arjuna said that how Shri Krishna you can say him Mahadani Karna. While Draupadi's cheer haran (tearing clothes) he was also present there and he was saying wrong things to her. Then Shri Krishna said that Whatever he does but he was a Mahadani. Then Arjuna said that ok if you can prove it to me then I will get it that he was a Mahadani. Then Shri Krishna change his form and he change into a Brahmin and then he went to dying Karna and said that he come there for some donation for her daughter's marriage and after hearing it Danveer Karna said that I am unarmed and I can't stand on my legs and can't even walk. So I can't give you anything I don't have anything left I want to donate for your daughter's marriage but I am not able to do that. Then Brahmin said that you can give me something that is on you and that thing is your teeth that is made up of gold.


Then Brahmin said that if you give that teeth to me it will be big donation for my daughter. Then Karna said that ok there is a stone on that side and pick it up and broke my teeth and take it as a donation then Brahmin said that this is wrong I am here to get some donation and you are telling me that I have to broke your teeth and then I have to take it by my own. Then Karna said that ok I will do that then Karna pick that stone and he hit his teeth with that and when teeth broke he gave it to him and his mouth was full of blood. Then Shri Krishna said that I am very happy through this act of your Karna and Lord Krishna you can tell me your Last wish I will definitely fullfill it. Then Karna Shri Krishna said that my last wish is that my last rites will done in such a place where no body kills no body ultimately a place free of sins. Then he died and after hearing it Shri Krishna said to all Pandavas that he will do his last rites in his hands where no sins happened. And Pandavas got the lesson that Karna was Danveer the way he gave his gold teeth to Brahmin shows his Danveer behaviour.
