Sanatana Adharma

Mahabharata refers not only to the seizing of women by force but also to their sharing.

“Draupadi was shared by the five Pandava brothers and had five sons from them.(Adi Parvan-CCXXI).

Kunti was shared by Dharma, Vayu and Indra and gave birth to Yudhistira, Bhima and Arjuna from them(Adi Parvan-CXXIII) and Madri who gave birth to Nakula and Sahadeva was shared by the Ashwini Kumaras(Adi Parvan –CXXIV).

Justifying this custom, Yudhisthira not only states that it was a righteous practice followed by the ancestors of the Pandavas, but he even refers to Gautami being the wife of seven rsis (rishis) and Vurski being shared by the ten pracetasa brothers in the past(Adi Parvan –CXCV. CXCVII).

Vyasa has described this practice as Sanatana Dharma (Adi Parvan. CXXII, CXCVII).

The historian L B Keny also emphasizes that “the dialogue between Pandu and Kunti confirms the existence of this Sanatana Dharma where society had no sex-restrictions and women roamed about freely seeking satisfaction of their sex desires” Pages 30-33-Bharata war and Puranic Genealogies- Paper presented by L B Keny and edited by D C Sirkar and published by the University of Calcutta’s Centre of Advanced Study in Ancient History and Culture).

DC Sirkar is also of the same opinion.

Please be aware of it my dear friends!
