Why did Karna have to suffer so much? (4:27 minutes)

Karna, the noble one, the virtuous one, the charitable one, the son of the Sun God himself, had a life which seemed to be one long suffering.

Starting with Ganesh Chaturthi, when we invite Lord Ganesh to our homes & societies, our days are filled with thoughts of the Lord. We offer daily worshipful prayers to Him, sing & listen to His bhajans, revel in the sights of His beautfiul idols, or, in short, give Him center-stage in our lives. On the day of Ganesh Visarjan, we bid goodbye to Him by immersing Him in the vast blue ocean. Are the above activities done merely to celebrate a festival? Or do they hold a deeper philosophical meaning? Dr Jankiji explores this question in this video.
