I have a few questions on the MahAbhArat to which I haven't found a
satisfactory answer:.
1. Why doesn't Arjuna receive Moksha?
Although Bheeshma PitAmaha (understandably) and DhrtrAshtra
(not-so-understandably) receive Moksha, Arjuna merely attains Swarga after
his death. Arjuna was Shree Krshna's inalienable Bhakta and shishya, had
seen the Vishwaroopa, did his Karma without attachment -- surely he
deserved better?
Similarly, why does Kamsa receive Moksha? He thought about Vishnu only
very negatively.
2. What was Shree Krshna's complexion?
He has been described as both "ShyAm" (the color of rain-bearing
clouds) and "Neel", the Blue God. What was his actual complexion?
3. Somewhere in the MahAbhArat it is said that many sages actually look
forward to the Kali Yuga. Why is this so?
