I was watching BR Chopra's Mahabharata and this was an interesting episode for multiple reasons. Here I would like to give a breakup of the incidents and Krishna's explanation for each of those.
Note that we can learn something from each of his comments.
1. When Arjuna and Bheema bring Draupadi home after the Swayamvaram, they tell Kunti playfully that they brought alms.
Krishna: Comparing a woman to alms is an insult to the woman hood. And it's completely unacceptable.
2. Then Kunti, without even looking behind what her sons brought, says, share it equally amongst you brothers.
Krishna tells Kunti that it is irresponsible on her part to give an advise without even understanding completely what she is talking about. Nice ha?
3. And here comes the good part. Krishna explains why Draupadi ended up with 5 husbands. In her previous birth, she prays to Lord Shiva asking for a husband who is 'truthful', 'mighty', 'courageous', 'handsome' and 'patient'. Since it's difficult to get all these qualities in 1 person, she ended up with 5 different persons.
Lesson: Be reasonable in what you expect from your other half. You cannot find everything in 1 person. :). A lesson for each and every one.
There is more, but you should watch the series. It's amazing. I just love it. You get to take away something nice from each episode.
