Next day after Mahashivratri, karna went to banks of river ganga for his morning prayers. He did his pooja and distributed alms to everyone who came to him after that he returned to palace and with his partners he did yoga. Today was the day when sages were going to leave his kingdom with their families or followers. Karna and his entire family went to them and serve them breakfast. Parshuram and Mata Dharini has already left yesterday after pooja. Before leaving they had already blessed the couple.

Sages were happy with their services and pooja yesterday. They all blessed the entire family. They left except vedvyas, markandeya, Vasishta and Durvasa blessings Brahmnagri and Karna for their happiness and prosperity.

Vedvyas : I am extremely happy by your family. I bless King and Queen that you will a Putra which will have all your qualities Maharaj Karna. He will be balanced, virtuous, filial, compationste, brave, mighty warrior and great king.

Markandeya : I bless your to be child to be most knowledgeable person.

Durvasa : Maharani Vrushali, I get ve you blessing that your son will respect and love you the most.

Karna and Vrushali thanked the sages and bend down to toch their feet. Sages were have and they too left after blessings them. Only sage Vasishta was left.

Vasishta : Maharaj Karna, I have a request. I am impressed by you the most. You knowledge, valour and abilities as a king has impressed me the most. I want to become Kulguru of Brahmnagri. Will you fulfill my request.

Karna : It will be our Honor to have you as Kulguru.

Karna said and touched his feet. Vasishta blessed him. Karna stood back.

Vasishta : Karna, I will not take part in any fight and will leave if I see Adharm. I will be not be tied with useless throne or King. Will you still accept me as Kulguru.

Karna : Yes, honorable one.

Vasishta was happy and accepted to be Kulguru. Karna arranged a chamber for him and his wife Mata Arundhati in the palace only. Then he summoned a soldier and told him to spread this auspicious news. And give alms to everyone in the city. After giving orders Karna went to and organised his Sabha. He called all the kings and their families also in the sabha. Krishna and his family has taken the responsibility to look after the royals so therefore they weren't present as various sages left but now everyone was there.

Karna introduced new Kulguru to everyone, the kings were surprised to see that one of the saptarishi sage Vasishta himself became Kulguru of Brahmnagri. They congratulated Karna for this. After that discussion of treaty and alliance took place which took longer than expected. Then the trade and various other alliance was done. Kings left with their families after that. Only royals of Dwarka was left.

Soon the Sabha was dismissed and everyone left. Krishna signalled karna to come with him. They both left and went to banks of river Ganga. They both were walking.

Krishna : Karna, we met after long time but I didn't get a chance to talk to you. How are you?

Karna : With your blessings Prabhu everything is alright.

Krishna : You have done very well for your and society Karna. Yesterday whole Aaryavrat came to know about you and your might.

Karna : Prabhu, is that the reason you didn't stop everything yesterday.

Krishna (smiles) : Yes, Karna. Aaryavrat needs to know about you. They not need to know Brahmnagri naresh but also student of Bhagwan Parshuram, Shukracharya and Devguru brihaspati. Karna everyone's birth is for reasons, Yours is to let the world know that man should be known by his abilities not birth. Your knowledge and valour yesterday was outstanding example of that.

Karna : I don't know why Pandavas are so against me prabhu I never had any ill intensions towards them. Then why they have such hostility towards me. There were other kshatriya in that hall too prabhu but only they reacted that way.

Krishna : That is your greatness Karna and their short sightedness. Though they were born in forest but they have everything they need and want since childhood. People think of them as embodiment of goodness so nobody looked further to correct their flaws. Being grown is such environment has led them to believe they are above everyone. Seeing a person who doesn't agree with them or even tried to make them see their fault, they think you are insulting them which leads to all the misdeeds they did with you. You have seen them closely Karna, you know they usually aren't like that. Like you said to Duryodhana upbringing plays a big role in character building. In moh of her children Kunti bua never truly punished them and Mahamahim Bheeshma and mahamantri Vidhur too blindly put their faith but n them. All this are reason of them becoming what they are. They know dharm but they never truly understand it.

Karna : I can understand that prabhu but why after 12 years they seems to hold grudge against me.

Krishna : It's is because of they think you as their possession Karna, seeing you out of their grasp was already difficult for them but to see you as king of a kingdom which is far superior has bruised their ego and pride not only as kshatriya but as Devputra that has blinded them to see your abilities and their own flaws.

Karna : Prabhu, isn't it wrong to think humans as possession. I have never planned to do anything to them. I am living peacefully with family and my kingdom why can't they do the same.

Krishna : Yes it is wrong Karna. In truth they are obsessed with you. Obsession is strange thing Karna people don't want to let go of things they considers their own.

Karna : Prabhu, why have you brought me here surely it is not to tell me about Pandavas. As I have said before I hold no ill intensions towards them.

Krishna : Despite of everything they did.

Karna : It was my fault as much as it's their. My silence and acceptance has led me that situation. I have left them and their thoughts 12years ago when o left them. They hold no place in n my thoughts and actions.

Krishna : Are you sure that is reason Karna why you keep forgiving them and even try make ammends on their behalf.

Karna : I don't understand Prabhu. I have never done anything for them.

Krishna : Now we both knew that is not true. You may have saved them from Varnavrat fire because they were you master but what about healing Eklavya.

Karna : Prabhu, I did that for my admiration of him. He has given what nobody Else could in gurudhkhsina.

Krishna : That's not true you almost died because of your gurudhkhsina.

Karna : That was my punishment for my lies and Gurudev have taught me everything. It wasn't like Eklavya and gurudrona. He never has taught him anything but asked his thumb just because he learnt from his idol and for what to make arjun best.

Krishna : Be it may but it has resulted in correcting the injustice done to Eklavya due to Arjun. Indirect it may but you have freed Arjun from a black mark on him.

Karna : Once again Prabhu, my deeds has nothing to do with Arjun.

Krishna : Fine but what about Hidimba and Ghatotkach. You have accepted hidimba as you sister and you are giving Ghatotkach love of father in form of uncle which was originally responsibility of Bheem. Why?

Karna : Because what happened to her wasn't right. She was used and then left alone to not only gene for herself but also to nurture a child too. I can't let these things pass and I helped because I could.

Krishna : Karna, are you telling me if you're aren't a king you wouldn't helped her or Ghatotkach.

Karna : No, prabhu even then I would have helped them.

Krishna : I know, but still your actions has lead to have Bheem's wife and children have safe and secure future can you deny that Karna.

Karna : No, Prabhu.

Krishna : Karna not only Bheem and Arjun, you have also helped or tried to help Yudhishthir by your dharm debate yesterday not only that you have broadened the horizon of Nakul through medical debate and Sahdev has utmost respect for you his act of keeping maun is form of protest against injustice done to you. Not only that you have feed the Pandavas and bua Kunti in vanvas by your money earned by your hardwork. You respect her too, you may have married Draupadi to keep Mahadev boon but you have also kept her words and followed it like her other four son

Karna : Prabhu, why are you telling me all this. Why are you highlighting my deeds that I have done for them.

Krishna (smiles) : Karna, yesterday whole Aaryavrat get to know about you but I think it's time that you know about yourself. It's time you know truth about yourself Karna.

Karna : What truth Prabhu?

Krishna (seriously) : Truth about your identity Karna, truth about who actually are you. Karna, didn't you ever wonder why is only you were born with divine Kavach and kundals, why do you always feel closeness to sun. Why is the scorching rays of sun comfort you. Why did Bhagwan Suryanarayana himself came to give you Kavach and kundals back to you. Why did he and his family took extra care of you in swarglok? Why have they done everything they could for you ? Why does weapons suits you better than reign of Chariot?

Truth is Karna you are not suta but kshatriya. You are not sutputra Karna you are Suryaputra. You are part of suryadev. You are his ansh.

Karna (confused) : What are you saying Prabhu, my father is Adhiratha Pitashree and mother is Radha maa.

Krishna (sadly smiled) : No Karna, Shreemaan Adhiratha and Kaki Radha found you in river bank og Ganga. They are your adopted parents. You father is none other than Suryadev.

Karna was so shocked that he fell down with thud wher he was standing. He know his prabhu was not lying to him, he had all these questions but always chucked it as him and his family being great devotee of Suryadev. Only one question was in his mind if Suryadev is father then who is his mother. He thought of a possibility but quickly denied it mentally but he couldn't calm down his thoughts were drifting towards that thought only. Krishna too was looking at him sadly he knew Karna has guessed his mother but was actually denying it. He was sad for his devotee. Meanwhile Karna gathered his resolve and aske the question that was tormenting him the most.

Karna : Who is my birth mother Prabhu.

Krishna :Karna, you have already the answer but for you peace I will tell you bua Kunti is your mother, you are eldest kaunteya, Jyeshtha of all Pandavas.

Karna (distressed) : How? If she is mu mother then why I was found by my parents in river Ganga?

Krishna : Karna, you already know sage Durwasa boon to bua Kunti and birth story of Pandavas. What you and rest of Aaryavrat except Bua kunti and her maid / best friend Priyamada don't know that after getting blessing out of curiosity and naivety of teenager she evoked the Mantra and summoned suryadev. Being bound by mantra suryadev have to give her a child. She pleaded him not to but boon can't go empty so suryadev bless her with you. She was unmarried at that time, so she was scared of society. She then with her friend Priyamada spent next one year in forest and gave birth to you but because of fear of ruining the reputation of her father she had abondoned you and flown you in Mata Ganga, suryadev then gave you kavach and kundals to protect you. Mata ganga then carried you and took you to Adhiratha who then adopted you and raised you.

Karna was shocked listening to everything. His emotions were pouring out in form of tears. He can't believe that his own mother has abandoned him just after his birth. He felt so lonely and sad that even with narayan beside of him he was feeling nothing but darkness. Krishna sadly seeing his devotee drawning in sorrow. Karna coul feel nothing but emptiness in him but suddenly he heard Putra he followed the voice and saw his Radha maa was there and looking at him worriedly. With her presence the light slowly came back to him, he saw his parents, Bhagwan Parshuram, Mata Dharini, Vrushali, Shukracharya, Devguru brihaspati, suryadev and his family, hidimba, Ghatotkach, Eklavya and finally he saw Krishna there smiling at him. His emptiness disappeared. Seeing the changes in Karna Krishna smiled he already knew that Karna wasn't so weak that one truth could break him but even if did he couldn't truly blame him. Karna schooled his expression and with the new energy that came to him. He stood up.

Krishna (smiles) : I knew you could come out of this Karna, now what are going to do?

Karna : Nothing Prabhu, I will do nothing. I am Radhey and always be Radhey. Rajmata Kunti may have given me birth but it was Radha maa whi raised me. She was one who consoled me, cried with me when I was hurt by society. She was the one who woke up whole night when I was sick, she gave me love and morals. She is and will always be my mother. No one could take her place. In fact I am glad that she is my mother.

Krishna (sadly) : What about you birth mother Karna, what about bua Kunti.

Karna : What about her Prabhu. People go to mata ganga to wash their sin, to her I was nothing but a mistake, no sin that she washed and left in Mata Ganga. To her the reputation of her father was more important than my life. She has made her choice and now she will have to live with consequences. To me she will always be Rajmata.

Krishna : Don't be so hard on bua Karna, like you she is also victims of this society.

Karna was silent hearing this, he has come out of his darkness so he can see what his Prabhu was saying. In truth he didn't really blame her for anything except abandoning him. He didn't regret living life of suta or being raised by his parents. He didn't blame her for whatever happened to him.

Karna : Prabhu, did she knew I am her son.

Krishna : Not till yesterday, after seeing your Kavach and kundals she has recognised you. But she has fainted yesterday.

Karna : Fine Prabhu, I promise you if she accepts me as her son even to me privately I will give her all respects as I give to Radha maa but if not i will be stranger to her.

Krishna : What about your duties and right as eldest kaunteya Karna.

Karna : I will always do my duties Prabhu but rights forget it. What right will I get from her or Pandavas. Pandavas loathes me and my existence. To them I am some that was born to serve them. Prabhu if they couldn't get over their bigotry then I don't want them to know I am their brothers. If they can't respect someone's abilities and capabilities just because of their caste than there is no need for me to accept them.

As far I can see and think Rajmata Kunti will never accept me as her son publically because of her and her sons reputation. And I believe she won't even accept me privately because then she will have to tell Pandavas about me and after yesterday my so called brothers will loathe me even more if that possible except Sahdev. In this life I don't think I will get their love until something drastic happens and Rajmata Kunti will be forced to accept my relationship with her. Prabhu promise me you won't tell another soul about this. Please do this for you devotee. I was taunted by society and called very many things but bastard and illegitimate are ones that I can't bear.

I hope for everyone's happiness this truth will remain hidden.

Krishna was surprised by far sightedness of Karna, he couldn't believe that Karna could guess everything so accurately.

Krishna : I promise you Karna but remember no truth can forever be hidden.

Karna : I know prabhu but let it be hidden till it can for not only happiness of everyone but alos because of Rajmata reputation. The society is not tolerant towards woman. I am happy being Radhey only.

Krishna : Even now you care for others before your own Karna. A man like you born only once.

Karna : I think so too prabhu and I wish no second unfortunate person as me should ever take birth. My mother abondoned me as a child, my brothers hate my existence. I alone is enough of such existence.

Krishna : No, Karna. A pure and kind soul like you take birth only once. You selflessness is second to none. I am impressed ask me something Karna, I truly want to give my devotees something.

Karna : Prabhu please bless me that I will forever remembered as Radhey and after my death my name will taken with respect.

Krishna : Thathastu, I bless you Karna you will be remembered in not only this yog but also in coming yog as Radhey Karna and people will always remember you with the respect that you truly deserve.
