Publisher's Synopsis
Krishna-Karna Samvad" refers to a significant dialogue in the Indian epic, the Mahabharata. This exchange occurs between Karna and Lord Krishna and is pivotal in understanding the complex emotions, philosophies, and decisions of the characters involved. Though the entire situation is fictional based upon the Indian Epic known as Mahabharata.
Karna, born to Kunti and the sun god Surya, is one of the most tragic and heroic figures in the Mahabharata. He is known for his unwavering loyalty, generosity, and adherence to his principles, despite facing numerous challenges and injustices throughout his life. Krishna, on the other hand, is the incarnation of Lord Vishnu and serves as a guide and charioteer to Arjuna, one of the Pandavas.
The dialogues between Karna and Krishna delves into various themes such as duty (dharma), loyalty, and the moral dilemmas faced by individuals. Karna knew last night about his true parentage from Kunti, informing him that he is actually the eldest son of her and thus the eldest Pandava and real king to the throne of Hastinapur. Kunti tried to persuade Karna to join the Pandavas, promising him the throne and the honour which je had been deprived off because of her in his entire life. However, Karna refuses Krishna's as well as Kunti's offer, citing his loyalty to Duryodhana and his own sense of duty and honour.
This literary marvels into the conversation highlighting Karna's tragic heroism and the complex web of relationships and loyalties that define the Mahabharata. It also underscores the moral ambiguities and the often-harsh realities of dharma in the epic and Krishna's statement as God-head listening by listening Karna.
