39 Further Knowledge

" However that is not the main problem . Let me enlighten you further. " Said Guru Kripacharya as he stepped in the conversation.

" I would be honoured to recieve wisdom from such an esteemed Brahmin . " I replied .

" The main problem is when such bonds are based upon love or lust . These are weak and fickle things that can change at any time. Even for the ones trained in controlling senses and emotions they are quite difficult to control .

So once they have married and copulated they might start having second thoughts . This may lead to disloyalty which is one of the sins which invites Kal( The Great Demon of Kaliyug ) and sins . It also speeds up humanity's and the universe's impending doom . Not to mention it destabilize's society.

Shedding off modesty like this and having affairs also cause problems with future generations and young children.

This is a slippery slope which culminates in a society only ruled by base emotions without a hint of intelligence or traditions . In such a society the soldiers fight because they are paid , workers work because they are deceived, wise men create wisdom because they get comforts and the money maker controls all .

It is a weak society destined to destroy itself and thus we will not allow the great Vedic Society to be reduced to such a state.

Thus marriage's in our case are not enforced by love or such fickle things but the eternal things . Such as the seven circuits around the holy manifestation of the God Agni in form of flames to unify them for seven lifetimes , the society's approval and needs which may change but will remain as long as society does .

An invocation of Vishnu the Preserver to help preserve the marriage and the different deity's for them to witness and bless couple . The different clans and varnas in are present for them to help and enjoy the wedding .

Helping it survive and thrive if for nothing else then for their honour . Only through these measures have we managed to keep emotions from conquering the general populace for not everybody has the time nor the wish to train the mind ."

So , that much thought went into banning marriages without atleast two clans consent , huh . I thought .

" Now , what caused you to have these doubts . Tell me the root cause and I may take care of it. " Said Karna .

" O noble one , at the age of 9 when I and two of my elder shishya's ( students ) were sent as to observe and train ourselves in other gurukuls and the female side I was almost smitten by a girl. I know not how she was so beautiful nor how she could be so at such a young age . From then on a seed of doubt had been planted in my mind. "

" Very well . Has it been cleansed . "

" Yes it has been. "

" Any other doubts that I should destroy ? "

" O ancient one , if it does not inconvenience you then may I dare to ask why am I having to do a tantric ritual. From what I was told by the living saint of our Gotra ( lineage ) I was to become the next living saint . So if I have earned pity enough to know . Please enlighten me ."

Blood spurted out of Lord Ashwathhama's mouth as he said , " Of the seven great saints our lineage is from Saint Bharadwaj ( Used Vimana and Ayurveda ) . From him came his five children . The two brothers Dronacharya and Garga and their three sisters Katyayani , Ilavida and Shrutavati .

For Garga practiced celibacy he did not further our Gotra while the three sisters were women so their Gotra was not the first Gotra of their child.

From Dronacharya was I born . Blessed by Shiva and given the ability to control all animals lesser than humans , never have the need of food , water , air or any of the elements needed for sustaining human life . I was talented extraordinarily in matters of Divyastra ( divine weapons ) and Kal Chakra ( The Circle Of Death and Time ).

My fate was of an immortal either through Dharma or Adharma.

During the end of the Mahabharata War I overcome by my anger , strength and emotions committed the heinous crime of killing an unborn . As such I was cursed to walk on this land for 3000 years . Bearing all the human sins and my wounds being ever open with puss and rot causing them to fester .

Yet for all Krishna did he too was but a mere shard of the divine power invincible to mortals but not to me.

So even though my divine gemstone of my forehead was taken my powers only grew ever stronger. I as such am one of the purest Brahmins alive , the purest who still does karma ( action ) . As such I bore much of humanity's sins . My bloodline shared my burden but with much of it wiped out so quickly I was overstrained.

You as a result of your condition you were transplanted with Ravana's body. His step mother was one of my father's sister so you too are relatively pure . As such you doing a sacrifice of blood alleviated my condition . Now if enough of your doubts have been cleared then tell me where are the manifestations that are supposed to occur here ? Also you are of far greater purity than a person of Kaliyug , so no need to refer to us by titles for this Yuga . Call us by our names or by our Dwapara Yuga titles . "

" As you command , supreme patriarch . ( referring to his status as the leader of the Bhardwaj's ) .

<Here is a bigger info dump . I know most of you have seen anime with young bosses or their female counterpart . They seem to have people following them and serving for them as though they are kings . Well that actually happens in India , Somewhat .

The Rajput still hold a great amount of power in Rajasthan . Many leaders become head of the states or even the country simply based upon their Jaati(clan) . We have living kings and their descendants among us . For example Wadiyar Dynasty (Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, current Maharaja of Mysore ) , The Mewar Dynasty (Rana Sriji Arvind Singh Mewar is the 76th custodian of the Mewar dynasty ), etc . >

" I have arranged for a meeting with people of influence in this land . One of them knows quite a bit about it . We will be meeting them today in fact at the night . They have prepared a party in your name . Their we will get more information . "

" A-a-a-a-a ddoubtttt ssssssssir , hoooow commee thhat peooplee kkkknow aboout yyyyyou here ? " stuttered out t.he 3rd yamduut.

" You speak of valid concerns , speak kid how come they know us ? " asked Karna in doubt ( the actual karna is op man literally pushed back the universe and the four seasons , fate version is weak af )

" O valiant son of the sun , it is not possible for them to posses knowledge of us and neither of our civilization yet we do have a face of the younger generation here . Maybe it is through his exploits that the banner of our glory is raised . "

" That is also a plausible possibility , and if it is true then ask of what you wish . I shall provide it . " ( Karna was known to be a highly generous man , he even donated his skin and his sources of power ) .

" I wish for nothing other than the glory of our empire to be ever sounding and to be spread in all sixteen directions . " I said for I was going to occupy one of the most important place in that empire .

" And so it shall be . Fear not for I have given my word . " he replied.
