Reading Notes: Epified: Mahabharata Videos, Part B

Epified: Mahabharata Videos
  • Part B
    • A Summary of What Went Down
      • We started where we left on in part A.
      • Kunthi had a big secret. That secret was that she had a long-lost son that she put in basket and sent it down a river.
      • Pandu, Kunti, and Madri retreated to the forest. Pandu was hunting one day and shot a hermit couple. The hermit man cursed Pandu.
      • The curse was that Pandu would die if he had intimate relations with a woman.
      • Kunti uses her gift to call upon god to bear children. Kunti has 3 sons of her own and called upon the god sone last time to give Madri her twin sons.
      • Pandu dies of his curse, leaving Kunthi with the 5 sons.
      • Gandhari's first pregnancy ended up as an abiotic lump instead of a child.
      • The lump was taken and split into 100 pieces, which turned into Gandhari's 100 sons.
      • Kunti and the Pandavas returned to the kingdom, this made Duryodhan angry.
      • Duryodhan decided he was going to poison the Pandava brothers. Only Bheema was affected by the poison.
      • Bheema was tied up and thrown into the river. 
      • Bheema ended up serving that offense.
      • Vasuki gifted Bheema a magic drink, which gave him the strength of 1,000 elephants.
      • Drona taught the Pandava brothers all they knew. 
      • Each of the brothers chose a skill that they would excel in. 
      • One day they saw dog get dagger by an arrow but not just one multiple. Arjuna could not bear to see the dog in that condition.
      • The archer, Ekalavya, of the dog incident claimed that Drona was his guru. Ekalavya was the world's best archer.
      • Ekalavya was commanded to cut his right thumb off by Drona. He was no longer the world's best archer.
(A picture of a waterfall in India. I thought this was appropriate because of the several river references in this part of the story.

Just a note, I am pretty sure the videos spelled the names of the characters differently than the PDE version, so if they are not consistent in spellings that is why.

Week 3 Story: Rama and Sita's Story of Love at First Sight

Image
(A photo of Sita in statue form. I picked this photo because this story is Sita's introduction. Photo by Ye-Zu ) The daylight had not turned into complete darkness, but the sun was slowly seeping into the ground. Rama and Lakshmana were eager to explore the new city that was near them, but they needed permission to leave Vishvamitra, so they asked and were allowed to enter into the city. It might have been getting dark, but the city was still lively as ever; people were crowding the streets. The people starred at Rama and Lakshmana with curiosity. The princes were dressed in bright colors, with flashy accessories, and they were carrying weapons. Girls and women all through the city were taking notice of the fine looking princes and buzzing to each other about them.

The field was silent, yet...
