Summary Sheet Mahabharata SUMMARY SHEET Stories from Mahabharata ------------------------------------------- Winner of British Council's CREATIVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP AWARD ------------------------------------------- Stories from Mahabharata 1 Hello! Did you enjoy meeting the memorable characters from the Mahabharata? Here’s a quick summary of what we covered in the workshops. SUMMARY OF WORKSHOPS Here, in a nutshell, we present the main stories we shared in each session, just so that you will remember them. Bhima This series was all about Bhima, the most powerful among the Pandavas. Bhima duelled with the fearsome Bakasura and the mighty Jarasandha and won easily. He overpowered a deadly poison and emerged stronger than before. Finally, it was a wily monkey that taught the mighty Bhima a lesson in humility. Gurus and Sishyas This interesting workshop spoke about Arjuna’s skilled archery and his focussed concentration, which made him his guru’s favourite. A poignant ‘guru dakshina’ by the brave Ekalavya showed his devotion to his guru, while shishya Karna’s white lie resulted in a terrible curse befalling him. Oaths and Promises Difficult oaths and heartfelt promises filled this session. Princess Amba’s fearsome vow made her be reborn as Shikhandi, and sounded the death knell for Bhishma. The promise of the river goddess Ganga resulted in a chain of heartbreaking events for King Shantanu. A man-snake conflict resulted in a dreadful vow taken by the snake Takshaka to wipe out the Pandavas. Karna Karna was the quintessential tragic hero of the Mahabharata. He could never say no to a request and always chose friendship over family. This session was filled with stories of the difficult circumstances that dogged his life, and people who made cruel demands on him. A series of unlucky curses led to his death at the hands of his own brother and ended his saga. ------------------------------------------- Winner of British Council's CREATIVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP AWARD ------------------------------------------- Stories from Mahabharata 2 Curses and Boons Curses and boons make for much excitement in any story, don't they? Lord Shiva tested Arjuna in archery and gave him the boon of the mighty Pasupatastra, making the Pandavas stronger than before in battle. It took a hundred curses for the vengeful Sishupala to get punished by Krishna. Arjuna turned into Brihannala at the opportune moment to avoid recognition, and turned a curse into a boon. The Wicked Ones These are stories about characters we love to hate. Nahusha was a very good king who turned wicked when his power went to his head, and was cursed to live the life of a ‘sarpa’ or snake. Shakuni played a double game and planned the downfall of both the Pandavas and the Kauravas! Ashwattama, the ‘chiranjeevi‘ ( one with eternal life) was cursed to live forever with physical deformities, because of an unpardonable act. Krishna - the Mastermind In the Mahabharata, Krishna is like a puppeteer, controlling people, events and circumstances. The valiant Barbarika sacrificed his life for the greater good on Krishna’s advice. The mighty Jayadrata was defeated by Arjuna, but with the help of some clever manipulation by Krishna. A clever ploy suggested by Krishna resulted in the death of the valorous Drona while Bhima defeated Duryodhana with the help of a discreet gesture from Krishna. Crucial Turning Points This workshop looked at some crucial turning points in the epic. A palace built of flammable material burst into flames but the Pandavas were saved by an ingenious plan. A friendly game of dice turned into a deadly gambling match and sent the Pandavas into exile. The lion-hearted Abhimanyu broke into an impregnable battle formation but sadly did not know how to come out of it. We hope you enjoyed these stories and would like to listen to more stories on Indian mythology. We look forward to seeing you in more of our workshops soon.

NOTICE. Having completed the Udyoga Parva I enter the Bhishma. The preparations being completed, the battle must begin. But how dan- gerous is the prospect ahead ? How many of those that were counted on the eve of the terrible conflict lived to see the overthrow of the great Knru captain ? To a KsJtatriya warrior, however, the fiercest in- cidents of battle, instead of being appalling, served only as tests of bravery that opened Heaven's gates to him. It was this belief that supported the most insignificant of combatants fighting on foot when they rushed against Bhishma, presenting their breasts to the celestial weapons shot by him, like insects rushing on a blazing fire. I am not a Kshatriya. The prespect of battle, therefore, cannot be unappalling or welcome to me. On the other hand, I frankly own that it is appall- ing. If I receive support, that support may encourage me. I am no Garuda that I would spurn the strength of number* when battling against difficulties. I am no Arjuna conscious of superhuman energy and aided by Kecava himself so that I may eHcounter any odds.

  • The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa SALYA
    The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa SALYA PARVA translated by Kesari Mohan Ganguli In parentheses Publications Sanskrit Series Cambridge, Ontario 2002 Salya Parva Section I Om! Having bowed down unto Narayana and Nara, the most exalted of male beings, and the goddess Saraswati, must the word Jaya be uttered. Janamejaya said, “After Karna had thus been slain in battle by Savyasachin, what did the small (unslaughtered) remnant of the Kauravas do, O regenerate one? Beholding the army of the Pandavas swelling with might and energy, what behaviour did the Kuru prince Suyodhana adopt towards the Pandavas, thinking it suitable to the hour? I desire to hear all this. Tell me, O foremost of regenerate ones, I am never satiated with listening to the grand feats of my ancestors.” Vaisampayana said, “After the fall of Karna, O king, Dhritarashtra’s son Suyodhana was plunged deep into an ocean of grief and saw despair on every side. Indulging in incessant lamentations, saying, ‘Alas, oh Karna! Alas, oh Karna!’ he proceeded with great difficulty to his camp, accompanied by the unslaughtered remnant of the kings on his side. Thinking of the slaughter of the Suta’s son, he could not obtain peace of mind, though comforted by those kings with excellent reasons inculcated by the scriptures. Regarding destiny and necessity to be all- powerful, the Kuru king firmly resolved on battle. Having duly made Salya the generalissimo of his forces, that bull among kings, O monarch, proceeded for battle, accompanied by that unslaughtered remnant of his forces. Then, O chief of Bharata’s race, a terrible battle took place between the troops of the Kurus and those of the Pandavas, resembling that between the gods and the Asuras.

  • Mahabharata Tatparnirnaya
    Mahabharatha Tatparya Nirnaya Chapter XIX The episodes of Lakshagriha, Bhimasena's marriage with Hidimba, Killing Bakasura, Draupadi svayamwara, Pandavas settling down in Indraprastha are described in this chapter. The details of these episodes are well-known. Therefore the special points of religious and moral conduct highlights in Tatparya Nirnaya and its commentaries will be briefly stated here. Kanika's wrong advice to Duryodhana This chapter starts with instructions of Kanika an expert in the evil policies of politics to Duryodhana. This Kanika was also known as Kalinga. Probably he hailed from Kalinga region. He was a person if Bharadvaja gotra and an adviser to Shatrujna the king of Sauvira. He told Duryodhana that when the close relatives like brothers, parents, teachers, and friends are our enemies, we should talk sweet outwardly and plan for destroying them. Heretics, robbers, theives and poor persons should be employed to kill them by poison. Outwardly we should pretend to be religiously.Rituals, sacrifices etc should be performed. Taking people into confidence by these means we should hit our enemy when the time is ripe. In this way Kanika secretly advised Duryodhana to plan against Pandavas. Duryodhana approached his father Dhritarashtra and appealed to him to send out Pandavas to some other place. Initially Dhritarashtra said Pandavas are also my sons, they are well behaved, brave, they will add to the wealth and the reputation of our kingdom, and therefore, it is not proper to send them out. However, Duryodhana insisted that they should be sent out. He said he has mastered one hundred and thirty powerful hymns that will protect him from the enemies.
