Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 Dear Sandy No I have not encountered this . There was one lady who wanted to marry Bhisma very badly but was repeatedly refused .She went and performed terrible austerities by which she could kill Bhisma .She quit her body and in the next birth took birth as Sikhandi .Bhisma had the boon that he was undefeatable in battle attained as a result of his celibacy vow .After 9 days at Kuruksetra the Pandavas could not defeat Bhisma and he theatened to destroy their whole army .So the Pandavas approached Bhisma and asked how he may be defeated. Now Sikhandi had started life as a woman but later changed into a man .So Bhisma advised the Pandavas to put Sikhandi at the front of the army as he would not fight with a woman or one who had previously been a woman in this life . With Sikhandi standing in front of Arjuna the Pandavas were able to pierce Bhisma's body with thousands of arrows so he was unable to continue fighting .This is all narrated in the Mahabharat . Therefore I think the problem in Dhanista is relationship difficulties not impotency .

I don't think I have a single Dhanista in my records with asuceessful marrital history.The presiding deity of Dhanista is the Vasus who played a trick on a sagewho cursed them to fall to earth . The last of the Vasus was the greatksatriya Bhisma who took a lifelong vow of celibacy . He was a powerfulfighter and many qualified women wanted to marry him but he never deviatedfrom his vow . For a member of the royal order to take a vow of celibacy wasvery unusual .This would seem to be the origin of the difficulties inrelationships .C'est la VieNicholas Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya; Hare Krishna; Om Tat Sat: gjlist-http://www.goravani.comYour use of is subject to the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
