ADVANTAGES OF BEING DRAUPADI

     Many in history have discussed about the pain of Draupadi  for being shared by five men at the unintentional directive of her mother in law Kunti. She had many misfortunes including being humiliated in the royal court of Kauravas and her five sons being killed in a single night by Ashwathama at the end of Kuruksekhtra battle. However if you get to think of it she enjoyed a few things which are unparalleled by any Indian woman or for that matter woman of any other country.

1.She had five handsome virile men whom she could enjoy according to her mood. She could “ do” with her devars ( brother-in-law) and bhasurji which is a secret wish of many Indian women . And nobody had the right to call her any bad name for that , instead people sympathized her for it. She could compare the abilities of these great guys in bed and say it to the other guy if she was not satisfied. She had the man she loved but had an additional bonus of four more exceptional men at her disposal for her any need.

2.She had a different man for different needs. If she had any physical ailments she could go to Nakula or Sahadeva who were doctors. If she had something to do which was physically challenging she could and did go to Bhima. Like smashing the bones of somebody who mistreated her or anybody she disliked, or get a flower from heaven which was not available in earth. She could go shopping with a guy her mood fitted with.

3 For romantic trysts and husbandly transactions she could go to Arjuna . She had the prize honor of having the greatest hero as her husband of whom she could boast of to anybody she liked.
          
4.For spiritual and philosophical tete-a tete she could go to Yudhistira. Also if she had a bad mood she used him as a punching bag which she did quite often. She was fortunate enough to have someone to spit away about all her misfortunes.

5.She had God Himself , Lord Krishna, as her personal friend and savior were she in any trouble. Which other woman in the world had such unparalleled advantage.

In the annals of Mahabharata Draupadi has been painted as one of the most unfortunate women and somebody you wanted to sympathize. However if you think quietly all her wishes were fulfilled. She was a queen of a great prince and possessed all the wealth she wanted at the end. Her greatest humiliation in life, the attempt of disrobing of her at the royal court was fully avenged with the death of all the Kauravas including the chief miscreant Duhsashana the way she liked , she washed her hair with blood from his chest.
In fact she is the central female in Mahabharata and the battle of Kurukhsetra happened to a great extent for her and she won in the end.
