The cause of Prithviraj Chauhan's defeat

The cause of Prithviraj Chauhan's defeat

Prthviraj Chauhan defeated Mohammed Ghauri in sixteen battles, but in the 17th battle, he was defeated and captured. Mohammed Ghauri blinded Prithviraj by piercing hot iron bares in his eyes. The astonishing thing is why the sixteen times victorious hero was defeated at the 17th time? The history says that while going to the battlefield, he was girdled by his beautiful and charming empress Sanyukta.

These are the evil consequences of wasting seminal energy.

You might have heard about heroic feats of Mahavir Hanuman, the great devotee of Lord Rama.

Hanuman burnt the whole Lanka and brought news of Sita to Rama. In doing this, he crossed the ocean by flying in air. In the great war between Rama and Ravana, Hanuman killed many heroes of the Raksasa army. In that war he made Ravana unconscious by giving just a single blow of his fist on Ravana's head. He did many superhuman acts. Carrying a big mountain (to get life-giving herb, 'Sanjivani' for unconscious Laksman) and other great activities were nothing for Hanuman. It was his celibacy that made him a great hero.

Napoleon, the great conquerer said, "Impossible is not a french word." Yet he was defeated in the battle of Waterloo. It is said that, when he fell from his zenith, he had split his white blood before going to the battle. In the evening preceding the battle, he is reported to have allowed himself to be thrown into the well of carnal pleasure.

In the Bible, Samson has been described as an ideal of courage and bravery.

"My strength is the strength of ten because my heart is pure."

"I never felt the kiss of love, nor maiden's hand in mine."

But when he enjoyed the poisonous wine of a lady's eyes, all his bravery and heroism vanished in no time.
