48. Karna, the young archer, determined to overcome his terrifying destiny



Karna broke into tears: ‘Lord, I take your curse on my head. But kindly shed your anger and forgive me.’ He fell at the feet of Parashuram and sobbed. But the curse was a fait accompli and Karna deemed it as his destiny. 

Once again asking for forgiveness, Karna prepared to return home. As he walked down the road, he reasoned he should not unduly worry about the curse. Death was inevitable for every one. His Guru’s curse would be operative on such a fateful day. But till then, he could take the world by storm with his might.

Thus began the eventful journey of a hero, who gathered grit and determination to defy destiny.
