Krishna\u2019s Curse to Ashwatthama<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Back in the Vedic days, the Gurus, Gods, and even the demons used curses (Shraaps) as a deterrence tool. And we here have listed some of the most interesting of those curses, which only changed the lives of people but also the course of the war. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_The_Curse_of_Bhrigu_Acharya\"><\/span><strong>1. The Curse of Bhrigu Acharya<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a no hidden fact that how in the eternal fight between the Devas and the Asuras, the Devas usally were undefeated. With the regret and shame that came from seeing the loss of the Asuras, Shukra Acharya (the Guru of Asuras) got very upset. It was then he decided to please Lord Shiva to gain <em>mritasanjeevani<\/em>, that would have made the Asuras more powerful than the Devas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Shukra Acharya went out for his meditation, the asuras took refugee at the ashram of Rishi Bhrigu. One day when Bhrigu was out, the Devas, using the absence of Bhrigu, took the opportunity to attack the asuras camping at Bhrigu\u2019s home. However, the wife of Bhirgu was present at the space who not only saved the Asuras but also immobile Indra (one of the Devas who came to kill asuras). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"475\" src=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Brihaspati-indra.jpg\" alt=\"The Curse of Bhrigu Acharya\" class=\"wp-image-130803\"\/><figcaption>Source &#8211; VedicFeed<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>All the deities, then went to Vishnu to seek help to recover Indra. Lord Vishnu, agreeing to help, went to Bhrigu\u2019s home to retrieve Indra. There, he bumped into Bhrighu\u2019s wife and cut her head using his Sudarshana Chakra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On returning, and comprehending the loss of her wife, Bhrighu cursed Vishnu that he would be born again and again to suffer the pain of worldly life. This is the reason why Vishnu has taken so many forms to date, one among which was of Sri Krishna. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_The_curse_of_Yudhisthira\"><\/span>2. <strong>The curse of Yudhisthira\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After the battle of Kurukshetra, Yudhishthira was performing the last rites of all his lost family members. Among all the lost was also Karna who was Yudhishthira\u2019s brother. However, Yudhishthira&#8217;s mother, for so many years, had hidden the truth from Yudhishthira that Karna was his brother.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"435\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Yudhishthira-cursed-his-own-mother-know-what-was-the-reason-1.jpg\" alt=\"The curse of Yudhisthira \" class=\"wp-image-130804\"\/><figcaption>Source &#8211; InfoBuzz<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Upset about the same, in a sobbing tone, he cursed the womanhood that no one of them will ever be able to keep a secret ever after. Maybe this is why women are usually less trusted with secrets<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_The_curse_of_Vriddhakshatra\"><\/span><strong>3. The curse of Vriddhakshatra<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Arjuna&#8217;s son Abhimanyu, was killed in the course of the war. But only a few know that it was Jayadrath who had killed Abhimanyu. Angered by the loss of his beloved son, Arjuna had vowed that he would kill the one who had killed his son before the sunset of the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Lord Krishna was aware of the fact that when Jayadrath was born, an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/talk-to-astrologer\">astrologer<\/a><\/strong> had predicted and told his father that his son will die a terrible death where his head would be slain. In a countermeasure, Jayadrath&#8217;s father, Vriddhakshatra, had narrated a curse that who so ever slays the head of his son to roll down on the ground, his own head too shall burst into fragments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"431\" src=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vriddhakshatra_1449578729.jpg\" alt=\"The curse of Vriddhakshatra\" class=\"wp-image-130805\"\/><figcaption>Source &#8211;  mtdata.ru<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>During the war, Krishna advised Arjuna to hurl arrows and cut Jayadrath\u2019s head in such a way that the same fells on the lap of his father. Krishna did the same and as Jayadrath\u2019s head fell in his father&#8217;s lap, he threw it on the ground out of horror, and as cursed by himself, Vriddhakshatra&#8217;s head burst into a hundred fragments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_The_Curse_of_Jaya_and_Vijaya\"><\/span>4. <strong>The Curse of Jaya and Vijaya\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jaya and Vijaya were the gatekeepers of Vaikuntha (celestial abode of Lord Vishnu). Once, the adobe was visited by four Kumaras. Unknown of their identity, Jaya and Vijaya stopped the Kumaras from entering Vaikuntha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The four Kumaras got angered by the disrespect subjected to them. It was then they cursed Jaya and Vijaya to leave Vaikuntha. The terrified Jaya and Vijaya, went to Vishnu to plead him to reverse the curse, but Vishnu was unable to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/unnamed.jpg\" alt=\"Curse of Jaya and Vijaya \" class=\"wp-image-130806\"\/><figcaption>Source &#8211; Veda Boys<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Vishnu offered Jaya and Vijaya two choices: either they could be born as a devotee of Vishnu in seven births or enemies of Vishnu in three Births. Jaya and Vijaya, with a motive to stay away from Vishnu, choose the latter.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later, Jaya and Vijaya took birth as Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha; Ravana and Kumbhakarna; and Dantavakra and Shishupala respectively. Here, you can say that Jaya and Vijaya experience curse and blessing both together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Sage_Gautams_curse_to_Indra_and_Ahalya\"><\/span>5. <strong>Sage Gautam\u2019s curse to Indra and Ahalya<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahalya, who was the daughter of Brahma, was married to Maharishi Gautam. When once Maharishi Gautam was out of town, Indra took his form to enter his home. Ahalya was not able to recognise the foul play by Indra and lost her chastity. Later when Rishi arrived and was made aware of the deed. He got furious and it was then he cursed Indra to have 1000 vaginas all over his body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ahalya-and-Indra.jpg\" alt=\"curse to Indra and Ahalya\" class=\"wp-image-130807\"\/><figcaption>Source &#8211; Bonobology<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It was after a lot of pleading, Gautam turned those vaginas into eyes. Rishi gave one curse to his wife too. He turned her into a stone and cursed her that only when Lord Ram touches her, she would come back in her original form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Curse_of_Parashurama_to_Karna\"><\/span><strong>6. Curse of Parashurama to Karna\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As per the legends. Karna was the spiritual yet abandoned son of Surya and princess Kunti. However, Surya wasn&#8217;t aware of this fact in the earlier days of his life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Karna was raised by, as legends say, a low-caste charioteer and thus when he went to Droona to learn archery, he was sent back because he was not a Kshatriya. Thereafter, Karna went to Lord Parashurama to learn war skills. There, he lied to Parashurama that he is a Brahmin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"365\" src=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Curses-of-karna-by-parashurama.jpg\" alt=\"Curse of Parashurama to Karna \" class=\"wp-image-130808\"\/><figcaption>Source &#8211; Mythgyaan<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One day, when Lord Parashurama was sleeping with his head on Karna\u2019s lap, Karna took the bite of a Scorpio and didn\u2019t disturb the guru. This made Parashurama realise that only a Kashritya can tolerate such pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was then he cured Parashurama that he will forget the skills he had acquired when he will need them the most. The curse thus became the reason why Karna, along with others, lost in the battle of Kurukshetra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Krishnas_Curse_to_Ashwatthama\"><\/span><strong>7.

Though Guru Drona trained the Pandavas, however, Drona&#8217;s son, Ashwatthama, fought against the Pandavas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the battle of Kurukshetra, Ashwatthama hurled a Brahmastra towards the womb of Uttara (wife of Abhimanyu) who was carrying Abhimanyu&#8217;s son (Parikshit) in an attempt to end the lineage of Pandavas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vicky-kaushal-aditya-dhar-ashwatthama-6-1555387938.jpg\" alt=\"Krishna\u2019s Curse to Ashwatthama\" class=\"wp-image-130809\"\/><figcaption>Source &#8211; Filmibeat<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Sri Krishna saved Uttara and cursed Ashwatthama of immortality smeared with pain and sorrow, for attacking a woman.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lord Krishna cursed Ashwatthama that he will carry the sins of all and roam alone like a ghost without any love till the end of the kaliyuga. His body was cursed to suffer from diseases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is believed that in Kaliyuga, his name will be &#8220;Suryakanta&#8221;. Thus, Ashwatthama will be in search of death every moment, and yet he will never die. At the end of Kali Yuga, Ashwatthama is to meet Sri Kalki, the tenth and final avatar of Lord Vishnu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/why-did-king-ravana-once-capture-all-the-9-planets-and-how-were-they-rescued\/\"><strong>Why did King Ravana once capture all the 9 planets &amp; how were they rescued?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><em>For more, find us on&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_astrotalk.com_\/?hl=en\"><strong><em>Instagram<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div><p id=\"pvc_stats_130802\" class=\"pvc_stats total_only  \" data-element-id=\"130802\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p><div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Social media, in the Yuga we live in, has blessed us with the luxury of ranting whatever pleases our wits.
