Draupadi's curse: Are dogs really suffering mythological punishment?

Mahabharata is one of the most sacred and mysterious stories of Indian culture. It gives a deep glimpse of war, politics, religion and human emotions. But do you know that according to a legend of Mahabharata, dogs are treated badly due to the curse given by Draupadi? Let's know the truth behind this mysterious story.

Why Draupadi and Yudhishthira had to be embarrassed?

This story is made in the Mahabharata when Arjuna conquered Draupadi in Swayamvar and brought it to his mother Kunti. Kunti said without looking, “Whatever you have brought, share it among themselves.” In order to obey the mother, Draupadi became the wife of the five Pandavas.

But the problem was how to follow dignity? A rule for this was made that when any Pandava would be with Draupadi, he would leave his feet outside the Paduka (shoe) room. This will make other Pandavas understand that going inside is forbidden.

One day, Yudhishthira was in Draupadi's room, but Arjun accidentally went inside. Seeing this, he was very ashamed. When Draupadi asked why he did not see Yudhishthira's shoes, Arjun told that he was not there. On searching, it was found that the dogs were playing in the courtyard with their shoes. This made Draupadi feel insulting and cursed dogs.

Draupadi's curse: Curse of dogs?

Angry, Draupadi said, “Just as I had to face insults today, in the same way, dogs in Kali Yuga will have to face humiliation in a similar way.” According to this legend, it is believed that since then people stoned them, humiliate them, humiliate them and behave badly on them.

Is this true from a scientific point of view?

However, this story is prevalent from a religious point of view, but scientifically, dogs form an open relationship because it is their natural behavior. Their biological structure is such that they follow their natural tendencies.

Many times people stoned dogs in ignorance or try to forcibly separate them, injuring them. According to veterinarians, such forced intervention can be fatal to dogs and many of their organs can be damaged.

Should we do this with dogs?

Even today many people humiliate dogs and misbehave with them. But we should understand that it is only a legend and it is not appropriate to treat any organism inhumanly.

The next time you look at dogs in this situation, work wisely instead of harassing them and accept their natural behavior.
