Mahabharata : Shalya-Parva Mahabharata - 1 - Shalya Parva महिष यास कृ त महाभारत (शल्य पव) Sanskrit text of Ved Vyas’s Mahābhārat (9. Shalya Parva) www.swargarohan.org Mahabharata - 2 - Shalya Parva MAHABHARATA : AN INTRODUCTION Mahabharat, which literally means ‘the great story of Bharat dynasty’ is part of the Hindu Itihās, i.e. ‘that which happened’. It is an extraordinary story of sibling rivalry, diplomatic maneuvering and shifting of human values culminating in a direct confrontation on the battlefield of Kurukshetra between five sons of King Pandu (Pandavas) and hundred sons of King Dhritarastra (Kauravas). It's a tale of tragic war which pitted brothers against brothers, sons against fathers and students against teachers. Exceptional characters, in- depth and complex set of interwoven relationships and dramatization on a grand scale makes this epic a memorable one. It's also a saga which marks the end of an era (dvapar Yuga) wherein characters lived up to morals, values and principles to the beginning of an era (Kali Yuga), wherein selfishness, deceit and immorality rules the reins. Besides compelling drama and riveting plot, Mahabharata is unique in many ways. Larger than life characters including that of Lord Krishna, considered as an incarnation of Lord Vishnu; Bhisma - great grandfather of principle warriors, who pledged to serve the kingdom of Hastinapur and ended up being a silent witness of its fall; Arjuna - unparalleled archer of that time, who laid down his arms at the beginning of the war; Karna - son of Kunti who ended up on the enemy camp due to misfortune; Yudhisthir - an icon of truth who was compelled to lie to win over the battle; Duryodhan - son of blind king whose unending ambitions became the root cause of trouble; Dronacharya - accomplished teacher of that time, who was forced to fight against his favorite student Arjuna...all make this epic spectacular and fascinating. Every single incident of Mahabharata is full of twists and turns - whether be it the game of dice between brothers or be it the 13 years exile of Pandavas in the forest with a condition of anonymity for the last year, or be it a mysterious fire in the house of wax and Pandava's miraculous escape thereof or be it the laying down of arms by dishearten Arjuna in the battlefield, which resulted in delivery of the message of Bhagavad-Gita (song of the supreme) by Lord Krishna or be it the deftness of Krishna in navigating Pandavas to victory and beyond. In a way, Ramayana and Mahabharata form the very basis of cultural consciousness that symbolize Hinduism. It's not a surprise that Mahabharata has attracted tremendous interest among literates and common man alike of India or East Asia but pundits and philosophers all over the world. A timeless creation of Sage Ved Vyasa (who himself is one of the character of this epic) and one of the longest poem of all times, Mahabharata is divided into eighteen books or chapters (called Parvas) namely 01. Adi Parva; 02. Sabha Parva; 03. Aranyak Parva or Van Parva; 04. Virat Parva; 05. Udyog Parva; 06. Bhishma Parva; 07. Drona Parva; 08. Karna Parva; 09. Shalya Parva; 10. Sauptika Parva; 11. Stri Parva; 12. Shanti Parva; 13. Anushashana Parva; 14. Ashwamegha Parva; 15. Ashramvasik Parva; 16. Musala Parva; 17. Mahaprasthanika Parva and 18. Swargarohan Parva. It is interesting to note that Bhagavad-Gita, most sacred text of Hindus having great philosophical impact, is part of Mahabharata (Bhishma Parva). Similarly, Vishnu Sahasranama, the most famous hymn of Lord Vishnu containing thousand names of the Supreme is part of Anusashana Parva. Other principal stories that are part of Mahabharata includes the life and works of Lord Krishna (Krishnavatar) woven throughout various chapters of Mahabharata, the love story of Nala and Damayanti as well as an abbreviated Ramayana in Aranyak Parva. Here, you will find the Sanskrit text of Shalya Parva, 9th chapter of Mahabharata.

    Available Online through www.ijpbs.com (or) www.ijpbsonline.com IJPBS |Volume 3| Issue 1 |JAN-MAR |2013|305-321 Review Article Biological Sciences FLORA OF THE INDIAN EPIC PERIOD: ONCE LOST, THE DIVERSITY OF GENE POOLS CANNOT BE RESTORED - OUR EVOLUTIONARY RESPONSIBILITY Ashish Dubey1, Manju Lata Zingare *, Md. Aslam Ansari, Prasanna Lata Zingare2 1Department of Botany, Govt. Shaheed Bhagat Singh P.G. College, Jaora, Ratlam, M.P., 457226, India 2Department of Biotechnology, Govt. Digvijay Autonomous P.G. College, Rajnandgaon, C.G., 491441, India *Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Indian epic flora are a fundamental part of the Indian culture and apart from having medicinal importance they also have religious value. Their present diversity of species is the result of a very long and slow process of genetic change and adaptation. The time necessary for the emergence of new species, and even for the accumulation of genetic variants at individual gene loci within species, greatly exceeds the time since the emergence of Homo sapiens. New techniques of molecular biology combined with recent theories in population genetics allow us to assess the time dimension of genetic change; these suggest that some genetic polymorphisms may have originated over a million generations ago. In other words, once lost, any particular genetic adaptation cannot be regained in any realistic time interval. These plants provide many services that we take for granted. However due to growing population, increasing anthropogenic activities, rapidly eroding natural ecosystem, etc. the natural habitat for a great number of herbs and trees are dwindling. Biotechnological approaches can prove beneficial for the conservation of these important plants.

In fact there are numerous genuine texts from the Indian tradition that contain data on this subject: the problem is that such texts are often incorrectly or inaccurately quoted by some authors to support theories that are opposite to the teachings explicitly presented in those same original texts.

  • A Fresh Perspective on the Astronomy of the Mahabharata
    ISBN: 978-1-9051860-1-3 © Dr Manish Pandit 2019 !ii Dedicated To My Gurus and Divine Mother Kali !i Foreword 3067BCE: A Fresh Perspective on the Astronomy of the Mahabharata I made the film “Krishna: History or Myth” in 2008 after a set of severe arguments on the subject of the historicity of Sri Krishna and Sri Rama, one of which was with a junior doctor when working as a surgeon in 2002 in the West Midlands. I had come across several pieces of research which claimed to corroborate the astronomy of the Mahabharata war. Amongst these were the research by PV Vartak, (5561BCE) a senior MBBS doctor residing in Pune who I have had the pleasure of meeting years ago in Pune, the research by Dr Narahari Achar from Memphis (3067BCE), Balakrishna and Sengupta (2449BCE) among others. I never wanted to really make a film on the subject, but nobody else was willing, partly due to the cost involved in the shooting of such a film (those were the days when digital film cameras were only just about becoming affordable) and of the course nobody wanted to take the risk of making a film which most Indian, English language, Hinduphobic channels would not show. I also had to check and see which piece of research was actually true: 5561BCCE, 3067BCE, 3139BCE, 3043BCE or indeed 1478BCE or 2449BCE among others. It took me a lot of time to go through the various pieces of research from 2004 to 2007 and eventually after taking great care to !ii exclude the wrong pieces of research, I sat down and corroborated the research on Redshift.

  • Lessons of Strategic Management from Mahabharata and Bhagavad Gita
    ©Apeejay Journal of Management & Technology Vol. 15, Number 1 & 2, January & July 2020, 1-10 Lessons of Strategic Management From Mahabharata and Bhagavad Gita Karnika Gupta* Ishu Garg** Abstract Strategic management refers to the formulation, implementation, evaluation, and control of strategies to maintain a competitive advantage. The concept of strategic management is not new; but, as old as Mahabharata and Bhagavad Gita: the two Holy Scriptures which have lots of religious value in people’ eyes. The epic Mahabharata makes a distinction between dharma and adharma, right and wrong, morality and immorality, and goodness and badness with the main eccentrics of Kaurvas (represented evil) and Pandavas (symbolized for goodness). The worth mentioning point is: whenever there is a war between dharma and adharma, the victory of dharma is certain. This truth is inherent in Pandavas victory over Kaurvas. However, the path of victory for dharma is not so easy. To beat evil practices of adharma, the supporters of dharma ought to have made some strategies as was done from Pandavas side by Lord Shri Krishna for the establishment of dharma on Earth. With this backdrop, the present paper takes into consideration Shri Krishna’s strategies in Mahabharata, lessons of dharma in Bhagavad Gita, and correlates them with present strategic management concepts. It is obtained that what is understood today as the process of strategic management is actually been told and operated by Lord Shri Krishna in Mahabharata and Bhagavad Gita. Keywords: Strategy, Mahabharata, Bhagavad Gita, Dharma, Adharma Introduction Strategic management has been proved as a great mantra of winning over the competitors in today’s business scenario.
