what you would like to be maan kunti or maan gandhari and why.?

Answer 1

i have loads have hesitations in my heart n mind as far as motherhood is concerned

Answer 2

I would neither like to be maan kunti bec.- she had 5 good children, but made the mistakes of - throwing away karna(it she who wanted a baby so badly) and making draupathi the only wife of her 5 sons, as soon she knew the mistake she made(that is telling them to share the loot they got) she should have rectified it. Ghandari should have had some sense she should have been the eyes of her husband and shown him the beauties of the world instead she blinded herself.

Answer 3

I like GandharI more for Kunti..

GANDHARI had a great respect for BheeshmA, so when he proposed the blind man Dridrastra for marriage with Gandhari she immediately accepted the proposal. Her father was a bit hesitant to marry her to a blind man, but when she came to know about his blindness, she said, "I have already accepted him as my husband, then whoever he is, he is my husband. And if he is blind, then I also have no right to see this world." and saying thus she tied a cloth strip on her eyes for the rest of her life. She was a great PATIVRATAA and a great devotee of ShivA. She was very contented and intelligent woman. She spent her whole life in guiding and advising her husband and sons but nobody listened to her.

Both Dhritraashtra and Duryodhan were mad after the crown and never wanted to part with it while it was not theirs. Shakuni was putting Ghee in the fire. GandharI was never in their favor and always tried to advise them justly but Dhritraashtra couldn't reconcile with his blindness, and Duryodhan never reconciled with his being younger to Yudhishthir. His logic was "I am the eldest son of the eldest son (Dhritraashtra) of Kaurav family, so I am the king."

During Draupadi Vastraharan was enacted she was about to give Curse to Kaurav family and Gandhari intervened and saved the family from her curse. She helped Draupadi to get all her husbands' lost things back also.

Where as KUNTI could not do anything to save her eldest son Karna, excepting abandoning him, and sacrificeing him finally to save up her esteem. In Comparson of both I feel Gandhari is a noble lady and she care for her husband, sons, dignity and county..

Answer 4

Kunti knew about the Godhead of Krishna and glorified him through many prayers that are known as Teachings of Queen Kunti in the Srimad Bhagavatam, canto one, chapter eight, twenty-six verses from18 to 43.

Few of those verses:

18
Srimati Kunti said: O Krishna, I offer my obeisances unto You because You are the original personality and are unaffected by the qualities of the material world. You are existing both within and without everything, yet You are invisible to all.

19
Being beyond the range of limited sense perception, You are the eternally irreproachable factor covered by the curtain of deluding energy. You are invisible to the foolish observer, exactly as an actor dressed as a player is not recognized.

20
You Yourself descend to propagate the transcendental science of devotional service unto the hearts of the advanced transcendentalists and mental speculators, who are purified by being able to discriminate between matter and spirit. How, then, can we women know You perfectly?

21
krishnaya vasudevaya devaki-nandanaya ca
nanda-gopa-kumaraya govindaya namo namah

Let me therefore offer my respectful obeisances unto the Lord, who has become the son of Vasudeva, the pleasure of Devaki, the boy of Nanda and the other cowherd men of Vrndavana, and the enlivener of the cows and the senses.

22
namah pankaja-nabhaya namah pankaja-maline
namah pankaja-netraya namas te pankajanghraye

My respectful obeisances are unto You, O Lord, whose abdomen is marked with a depression like a lotus flower, who are always decorated with garlands of lotus flowers, whose glance is as cool as the lotus, and whose feet are engraved with lotuses.


A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada commented extensively on the teachings of queen Kunti, which can be seen in http://toqk.com/tqk/en1

An excerpt from that;
This pastime presents another opulence of Krishna -- His opulence of beauty. Krishna has six opulences: all wealth, all strength, all influence, all knowledge, all renunciation, and all beauty. The nature of Krishna is that He is greater than the greatest and smaller than the smallest (anor aniyan mahato mahiyan). We offer obeisances to Krishna with awe and veneration, but no one comes to Krishna with a rope, saying, "Krishna, You have committed an offense, and now I shall bind You." Yet that is the prerogative of the most perfect devotee, and Krishna wants to be approached in that way.

Thinking of Krishna's opulence, Kuntidevi did not dare take the part of Yasoda, for although Kuntidevi was Krishna's aunt, she did not have the privilege to approach Krishna the way He was approached by Yasodamayi, who was such an advanced devotee that she had the right to chastise the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That was Yasodamayi's special prerogative. Kuntidevi was simply thinking of how fortunate was Yasodamayi that she could threaten the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is feared even by fear personified (bhir api yad bibheti). Who is not afraid of Krishna? No one. But Krishna is afraid of Yasodamayi. This is the superexcellence of Krishna.
