Excerpt from this Chapter: When Drupada heard about Draupadi being married to all five Pandavas, he was very upset and he thought this very much against the dharma. Arguments of Yudhisthira etc. could not convince him. At that time sage Vyasa came there. Vyasa was the embodiment of dharma and righteousness. His opinion was sought on the ticklish issue of Draupadi’s marriage to all five Pandavas. He said that though shastras sanctioned such marriage in rare cases and there were precedents in the past, in the case of Draupadi it was according to the Dharma. She had in her previous birth obtained a boon from lord Shiva that she would get five husbands in her present life. It was a secret not known to anyone. Lord Shiva’s boon cannot be against the dharma. So it was held lawful by Vyasa that Draupadi should marry all the five Pandava brothers.

I had thought about 100% voting (only then it's democratic), whoever did not vote should not talk about politics. Some IIT graduates contested in Chennai in the last election but how many votes they got???.. I did not convince anyone towards them.
As usual, very interesting indeed.
Is there any epic, talk about Hindu supertitions? I read Mahabaratham & Bagavath Geethai. I did not come across any supertitions Hindusm practice nowadays. The conclusion on the epics was, "you do good, you'll be rewarded", vice versa. So, i argue, Hindu followers created supertitions at the later part, when they don't know what is right. As what was said earlier, there was no forced 'sathi' 3000 yrs ago.. So that Kunthi was not forced to sathi. But occur at a later part, in 18th century.
The supertition get worse each and every second. Now, we can see people start to pooja the trees, stone, sand etc. It happens because they dont know where is God. Who is God.
So this is how the supertition took place. And it is increasing day by day. I argue that only a few hundred years ago that Hindusm came across this supertitions. And was created by a man. So that they do not have to follow. Could be a lady created it, because of strong believe.
