Mahabharat and Dharma

Mahabharat, with detailed analysis. And, understanding of complete epic from the roots..

Krishna said “Yada yada hi dharmasya….. yuge – yuge”. Kurukshetra war begins when Krishna was at least 50 year old around. What such incidents took place before the birth of Lord Vishnu that God himself required to take a birth on Earth as Human being as Krishna. Vishnu will take the birth whenever, there would be loss of “Dharma” to demolish the evil from people.

Devdutt (Bhishma) was the legal heir of Bharat (Kuru) Dynasty not only by Birth but with Caliber (he was highest knowledgeable (Guru Vrushpati), Excellent with Weapons (Guru Parshuram) and definitely himself was a God (in previous birth) who required to take a birth due to curse given by Rishi Vashishtha. But Bhishma’s Father, King Shantanu was interested to marry “Satyavati” (Matsyagandha – Her body was having a distinct smell of fish which can attract and distract any human being)

1^st Loss of Dharma

Facts about Satyavati – Satyavati was a Matsya Kanya By Birth. Once Rishi Parashar visited the riverside area where Satyavati stayed with her father and spent a night at their house. He was impressed with the hospitality of Satyavati, and requested her to carry her as assistant for sometime and gave assurance that her daughter will return as pure as she is by Birth. Satyavati’s father agreed for this. Rishi Parashar and Satyavati had a Child during this period named as Ved Vyas. Rishi Parashar and Satyavati kept this secrete as Satyavati was unmarried and Satyavati joined her Father as good and father after getting confirmation that she is good and and pure as she was at the time when she left with Rishi Parashar.

Wife (Matsya) of King (Kshatriya) was having a kid before her marriage through (Brahmin).

King Bharat told his legal heir Shantanu very clearly that the King shall be selected on the basis of Merris (Ability to rule kingdom and people) not by Birth right. Devdutt (Bhishma) was technically the most suitable candidate to become king of Kuru dynasty, but as King Shantanu had a crush over Satyavati and wanted to marry him. The country lost the Best King it could have in form of Devdutt (Son of river Ganga). Needdless to say Devdutt was highest knowledgable and Powerful person of his time and he was the one who saved Kaurava’s for 12 days in the war individually. 

2^nd Loss of Dharma

Satyavati became Rajmata after sad demise of King Shantanu. They had 2 sons and both demised early without having any legal heir. 2^nd Son Vichitravirya had 2 wives (both daughters of Kashi King) but Vichitravirya died due to poor health leaving no Son behind. Satyavati wanted her Children and grandson only to be the King and legal heir, so She told Bhishma to help Vichitravirya’s both the wives to have Son, for that bhishma denied as he kept a boon of keeping himself “Bachelor” for lifetime. Than Satyavati revelaed the secrate of Vedvyas as her own son and called him to become Father of the children of both the wives of  deceased son Vichitravirya. Hence, Vedvyas became father of Dhritrashtra, Pandav and Vidura.

Step Elder Brother in law (Ved Vyasa) becomes half father of Kings (Dhrutrashtra and Pandav) and Chief of Minister (Vidura)

3^rd Loss of Dharma

Draupadi became wife of 5 brothers just because mother told to do so and None among the Elders (Bhishma, Dhrutrashtra, Vidura and Yudhishthira (Dharmatma)) denied for it.

4^th loss of Dharma

Drupadi’s (lady) “Chirharan” was done in Raj Sabha (Assembley) and no one uttered a single word against it except Chief of Minister Vidura. Bhishma and Dhrutrashtra both were family seniors and King also, were individually powerful enough to close the sin but couldn’t uttered or intervened a single word and were just mock spectator.

Lord Vishnu (in form of Krishna) himself required to invisibly present and keep the dignity of Female and Women as a whole.

Bhishma paid the price for just being a mock spectator as he was badly injured with Arrows of Arjuna and Arrows became Bad for him. He couldn’t opt for a death because of his own boon and suffered the pain of arrows for 6 complete days.

Dhrutrashtra was blind but knew what’s happening in Raj Sabha (Assmebley), being a king he couldn’t act to save dignity of his own people and required to loose his own 100 sons due to this.

Vedvyasa wrote Mahabharat as he knew that he did wrong by obeying what her mother (Satyavati) told to him. So, Vedvysya and Satyavati are the Creator, of Mahabharat and war of Kurukshetra. Vedvysya narrated the whole Mahabharat to Lord Ganesha for writing it.

Lord Vishnu took a birth as “Ideal Man” to put an example of ideal living and principal, how A Man should be as King, Son, Brother, Husband, Enemy. Goddess Laxmi shown the way how a lady shall be as Daughter, Wife, Mother, Queen. They shown the world principals of living a life and example.

Ram took a birth as Kshatriya because, on earth King equivalent to God of land. So, the way king will do his followers and people will do the same way…. He took birth as ideal and shown people way of living the life.

By the time of King Shantanu, people forgot the principals of life as King, As Father, As Queen, As Mother………….. Lord Vishnu took a birth to demolish the evils by roots to reestablish Dharma.
