Hello everyone,
Have been watching Mahabharata and what has me curious is all the " curses" ( shraap) being used.
Pandu was cursed by a sage...the curse was so powerful that it overrode all the good things Pandu did and ultimately killed him. Karna gets cursed as we'll by Parashuram. How did the sages have so much power? Isn't it blatant misuse of their knowledge to curse somebody? What gave them the right to place curses like that?
in satyayug dwapar treta yug since dharm was present all the sages had divine power to curse or anyone's curse would come true
and in kaliyug there is no divine power therefore, no curse comes true but there is some mysticism still when you don't follow dharm and do good karm then you also have to pay for your sins that is true even today
Curse is the means to move forward the world and time could elapse, like a story is unfolding
just think if there would not have been any curse to vishnu ji then he didn't need to come down to earth as ram or krishn if there were no curse then draupadi would not have had 5 husbands
Here is the link of compilation of majority of the curses due to which story moved forward
Maharishi Ved Vyas ji needed climax for his stories hence Curses 😆

therefore, curse is very very important in purans
