Why Krishna Got Arjuna To Kill Karna?
According to Puranas, Mahabharatha war is the greatest war ever fought for saving dharma and destroying adharma. During the course of the war, many things happened that made the story more multifaceted and complex.
Many a times, during the war, Krishna forced Arjuna to break conventional rules to save the ultimate Dharma. Killing of Karna is also one part associated with this in the Puranas.
Karna was the son of Surya, king of Anga and a great warrior who had the protection of kavach and kundal for protecting his life. His name is always associated to sacrifice, courage, charity and selflessness.
Unfortunately, Karna had to face the effect of three curses that he got previously from his Guru, a Brahmin and Bhoomi devi. Krishna utilised this opportunity and asked Arjuna to kill Karna, when he was trying to bring up his chariot wheel, when staying armless and when he forgot to use his Brahmasthra.
While going through the story, it is natural that we all feel the same doubt in our mind. Why Krishna got Karna killed?
You will get an answer once you are clear about the ultimate aim of the Mahabharatha war. Here, we shall discuss on what made Krishna get Karna killed.
Goal
Is
Important
Than
Means
In
the
Bhagavat
Geeta,
it
is
clearly
mentioned
that
Lord
Krishna
believes
and
advises
us
that
goal
is
more
important
than
the
means
that
you
adopt
to
reach
there.
The
ultimate
aim
of
lord
Krishna
was
to
save
Dharma
and
defeat
Adharma.
If
you
wonder
why
Krishna
got
Karna
killed,
know
that
this
is
the
ultimate
reason.
Break
Conventional
Rules
When
it
is
all
about
fighting
for
saving
dharma,
Krishna
always
followed
a
common
policy
of
breaking
conventional
rules.
Killing
of
Karna,
even
when
he
was
armless,
is
one
of
the
major
and
critical
decisions
that
Krishna
took
during
the
course
of
the
war.
Hence, this decision resulted in the victory of the Pandavas.
Utilise
The
Situation
Unlike
other
wars
that
were
fought
between
two
entirely
different
origin
of
people,
Mahabharatha
war
was
between
the
members
of
the
same
family.
Since the war is a type of kill or be killed one, the death of anyone of the opponents was very important. This made Krishna utilise the best opportunity that he got to defeat Karna. This may be one of the reasons why Krishna got Karna killed during the war, even when he was armless.
To
Remove
The
Greatest
Hurdle
Karna
was
considered
as
the
only
powerful
person
who
could
fight
and
kill
Arjuna,
hence
he
had
to
be
defeated
by
any
means.
Also, moving forward in the war to attain victory without defeating Karna was almost impossible for the Pandavas. With the death of Karna, the greatest hurdle to the victory of the Pandavas was cleared.
To
Ensure
Victory
Of
Dharma
While
thinking
about
what
made
Krishna
get
Karna
killed,
nothing
will
give
you
a
clear
answer
than
the
ultimate
aim
of
the
war.
To
recover
Dharma,
all
and
everything
that
comes
in
the
way
of
Adharma
should
be
destroyed.
No matter who it is, setting people to be free, who are in the way of Adharma, would have spoiled the ultimate aim of the war.
Hence, Karna is still glorified as one of the best characters in the Mahabharatha and his name will remain as long as the world exists.
