As soon as Krishna learnt of the events at Hastinapura, the game: of dice and the exile of the Panda vans, he set out for the forest where the Pandavas, were living. Along with Krishna went many, including men of the Bhoja and Vrishni tribes. Dhrishtaketu, the king of Chedi country, and the Kekayas, who were all devoted to the Pandavas. They were filled with righteous indignation when they heard of Duryodhuna's perfidy and cried out that surely the earth would drink the blood of such wicked people. Draupadi approached Sri Krishna and, in a voice drowned in tears and broken with sobs. told the story of her wrongs. She said: "l was dragged to the assembly when I had but a single garment on my body. The sons of Dhritarashtra insulted me most outrageously and gloated over my agony. They thought that l had become their slave an d accosted me and treated me as one. Even Bhishma and Dhritarashtra forgot my birth and breeding and my relationship to them . O Janardhana, even my husbands did not protect me from the jeers and the ribald insults of those foul ruffians. Bhima's bodily strength and Arjuna's Gandiva were alike of no avail. Undner such supreme · provocation even weaklings would have found strength and courage to strike th e vile insulter dead. The Pandavas are renowned heroes and yet Duryodhana lives! I, the daughter- in-law of the emperor Pan du, was dragged by my hair. I, the wife of five heroes, was dishonoured. O Madhusudana, even you had deserted me." She stood trembling, utterly unable to continue, for the grief convulsed her. Krishna was deeply moved and he consoled the weeping Draupadi. He said: "Those who tormented you will be stricken to death in the bloody quagmire of a lost battle. Wipe your eyes. I solemnly promise that your grievous wrongs shall be amply avenged.I shall help the Pandavas in every way. You will become an empress. The heavens may fall, the Himalayas may split in twain, the earth may crumble or the boundless sea may dry up- but, I tell you verily, my words shall stand, swear this," and Krishna took a solemn vow before Draupadi. This vow, it will be seen, was in perfect accord with the purpose of the Lord's avatars, as declared in scriptures : "For protecting the righteous, for destroying the wicked and for firmly upholding the law, I am born on Earth age after age." Dhrishtadyumna also consoled his sister and told her how nemesis. would overtake the Kauravas. He said : "I will kill Drona. Shikhandi will cause Bhishma's fall. Bhima will take the lives of the wicked Duryodhana and his brothers. Arjuna will slay Kama, the charioteer's son." Sri Krishna said : "When this calamity befell you, I was not in Dwaraka. Has I been there, I would never have allowed this fraudulent game of dice to take place. Uninvited, I would have gone there and stirred up Drona, Kripa and the other elders to a sense of duty. I would, at all costs, have prevented this destructive play of dice. When Sakuni was cheating vou, I was fighting King Salva, who had besieged my city. It was only after I had defeated him that I came to know of the game of dice and the subsequent sordid story. It grieves me that I am not able to remove your sorrows immediately but you know, some water must be lost before a broken dam is restored." Accosted

I would, at all costs, have prevented this destructive play of dice. When Sakuni was cheating vou, I was fighting King Salva, who had besieged my city. It was only after I had defeated him that I came to know of the game of dice and the subsequent sordid story. It grieves me that I am not able to remove your sorrows immediately but you know, some water must be lost before a broken dam is restored." Why did the sons of Dhritarashtra insult Draupadi?

Answer :D

As soon as Krishna learnt of the events at Hastinapura, the game: of dice and the exile of the Panda vans, he set out for the forest where the Pandavas, were living. Along with Krishna went many, including men of the Bhoja and Vrishni tribes. Dhrishtaketu, the king of Chedi country, and the Kekayas, who were all devoted to the Pandavas. They were filled with righteous indignation when they heard of Duryodhuna's perfidy and cried out that surely the earth would drink the blood of such wicked people. Draupadi approached Sri Krishna and, in a voice drowned in tears and broken with sobs. told the story of her wrongs. She said: "l was dragged to the assembly when I had but a single garment on my body. The sons of Dhritarashtra insulted me most outrageously and gloated over my agony. They thought that l had become their slave an d accosted me and treated me as one. Even Bhishma and Dhritarashtra forgot my birth and breeding and my relationship to them . O Janardhana, even my husbands did not protect me from the jeers and the ribald insults of those foul ruffians. Bhima's bodily strength and Arjuna's Gandiva were alike of no avail. Undner such supreme · provocation even weaklings would have found strength and courage to strike th e vile insulter dead. The Pandavas are renowned heroes and yet Duryodhana lives! I, the daughter- in-law of the emperor Pan du, was dragged by my hair. I, the wife of five heroes, was dishonoured. O Madhusudana, even you had deserted me." She stood trembling, utterly unable to continue, for the grief convulsed her. Krishna was deeply moved and he consoled the weeping Draupadi. He said: "Those who tormented you will be stricken 1to death in the bloody quagmire of a lost battle. Wipe your eyes. I solemnly promise that your grievous wrongs shall be amply avenged.I shall help the Pandavas in every way. You will become an empress. The heavens may fall, the Himalayas may split in twain, the earth may crumble or the boundless sea may dry up- but, I tell you verily, my words shall stand, swear this," and Krishna took a solemn vow before Draupadi. This vow, it will be seen, was in perfect accord with the purpose of the Lord's avatars, as declared in scriptures : "For protecting the righteous, for destroying the wicked and for firmly upholding the law, I am born on Earth age after age." Dhrishtadyumna also consoled his sister and told her how nemesis. would overtake the Kauravas. He said : "I will kill Drona. Shikhandi will cause Bhishma's fall. Bhima will take the lives of the wicked Duryodhana and his brothers. Arjuna will slay Kama, the charioteer's son." Sri Krishna said : "When this calamity befell you, I was not in Dwaraka. Has I been there, I would never have allowed this fraudulent game of dice to take place. Uninvited, I would have gone there and stirred up Drona, Kripa and the other elders to a sense of duty. I would, at all costs, have prevented this destructive play of dice. When Sakuni was cheating vou, I was fighting King Salva, who had besieged my city. It was only after I had defeated him that I came to know of the game of dice and the subsequent sordid story. It grieves me that I am not able to remove your sorrows immediately but you know, some water must be lost before a broken dam is restored." Why were Draupadi's husbands helpless to protect her from the insults of wicked sons ofDhritarashtra?

Answer»

Because they were turned in to SLAVES and had no right before their MASTERS to INTERFERE with them.
Because Draupadi's husbands were disrobed 0ftheir CLOTHES and were more concerned about hiding their nudity.
Because the Pandavas had no WEAPONS with them to protect Draupadi.

A leadership is an influence process. It is the ability to motivate - others to do something, believe in something or act in a certain way. The leadership style is the pattern of behaviors used to influence others. Leaders are people who do the right thing. A leadership provides the vision, so that the management gets things done. Many people have been put in leadership positions but they lack the training, particularly in the non-profit-making organizations or those of public interest. Leaders are also risk-taker. They must learn from their success and failure. This may sound like a cliche but if you do things the way they have always been done and never take a chance, you will always get what you had before. Leaders should always reward risk-taking in others. A good leader is able to change plans or tactics without hesitation the moment the old methods are not working well. An effective leader should be clear-headed, self-confident and sure of himself but always ready to learn. His mental flexibility allows him to be sensitive to the needs of change and on the lookout for the best new methods. It is only of justice and humanitarianism ground that a leader should have a strcng sense of justice, especially seasoned by sympathy. The leader should be warm and direct. This quality is important, especially' if the leader is going to touch on the lives of a nation where the people range from the old, young, feeble, weak, educated and uneducated and humans from all walks oflife. The leader of tomorrow is changing from the top- down management style to a friendly approach. Therefore, working together creates the concern for work and productivity that both sides look for.
