Secret Things OF Mahabharata

                     Secret Of  Mahabharat

" Mahabharat ", The Great Indian epic is a vast treasure house of facts and knowledge and it is impossible for anyone to know everything. Many of the facts that are either missed out or still unknown to people.


Today, I am going to tell you about such surprising facts of Mahabharat.

Krishna had another sister apart from Subhadra named Ekanaga. She was born from Nanda and Yashoda. Bhanumati (Duryodhan's wife) was a devotee of Lord Krishna.  Abhimanyu was actually the soul of a Daitya (demon) named Kalyavana. Krishna after burning Kalyavana to death had captured his soul and took him to Dwaraka only to stuff him into  a cupboard. 

Ekalavya was actually Krishna's cousin. He was the son of Devashrava (brother of Vasudeva) who got lost in the forest and was found by a Nishada Hiranyadhanu.  Ekalavya died protecting his father during Rukmini Swayamvar. He was killed by Krishna.

Balarama had originally planned to marry Subhadra to Duryodhan. But Subhadra wanted to marry Arjun so she ran away with him. Arjun's pilgrimage for breaking his marital laws with Draupadi earned him three more wives - Chitrangada (Manipura), Ulupi  (Naga) and Subhadra.

Bhishma knew Shikhandi was a woman in his past known as Amba. Shikhandi had a son named Kshatradeva. Shikhandi was married to a Dasrana princess. Dhritarashtra and Gandhari retired to the forest 15 years after Yudhisthir's coronation. The main reason for this was Bhim's taunts, which depressed them.  

The Upapandavas (Pandavas's sons) all died unmarried. Flowers rained on Duryodhan when he fell on the 18th day of the war.Akshaya Patra was obtained by Yudhishthir from the Sun God for Draupadi and the Brahmanas.

The disrobing of Draupadi was instigated by Karna not Duryodhan. Duryodhan has been remarkably quiet during the entire episode except  while asking Draupadi to come in court.

Fats About Ram & Sita

Shocking Facts About Lord Rama, Sita, Raavan And Lakshman 

One gets to know a lot about Lord Rama, Lakshman, Sita and Raavan in many texts written in Valmiki Ramayana and all of it is considered to be most accurate. However, there are some other interesting things mentioned in Valmiki Ramayana, which people do not know about at all. These are quite shocking.

                         

Ramayana has been written by Maharshi Valmiki. This epic has 24,000 shlokas, 500 upkhand and 7 Kand with answers. The time when King Dashrath had organized a yagya for the birth of Lord Rama, his age was 60 years. According to Ramayana, King Dashrath had organized the yagya with the help of sage Rishyashring. Rishyashring’s father was Vibandak. One day while Vibandak were bathing in the river, he ejaculated inside water. A female drank that water and Rishyashring was born.

In Tulsidas’s Ramayana, it is mentioned that in Sita’s Swayamvar, Lord Rama had lifted the bow and arrow of Lord Shiva and it broke. However, there is no mention of this incident in Valmiki’s Ramayana.As per Shri Ramcharit Manas, during Sita’s swayamvar, Parshuram had come, but according to Ramayana, when Lord Rama was returning to Ayodhya after marrying Sita, that time Parshuram had come.When Lord Rama went to exile he was 27 years old.

When Lakshman came to know about Lord Rama being asked to go on exile, he was very angry and had asked Rama to fight with his own father and win the throne. But he calmed down after Rama explained him.When King Dashrath asked Lord Rama to go to a forest, he wanted to give him lots of wealth so that he remains happy there. However, his third wife Kaikayi didn’t allow for the same.
Bharat had come to know about his father, King Dashrath’s death through his dream. He had seen his father wearing black clothes in his dream.

As per Hindu religion, there are 33 croreGods and Goddesses. However, as per Ramayana’s Aranyakand, it’s mentioned that there exists only 33 Gods and Goddesses. It is known that when Sita was kidnapped by Raavan, Jatayu, the king of birds tried to save her, but lost his life. However, as per Ramayana, it wasn’t Jatayu who went to save Sita, but his father Arun. Vidyutjinn was the husband of Shrupnakha who was Raavan’s sister. He was a senapati in the army of Kalkay King. When Raavan was out to conquer the world, he fought with Kalkay too. In this battle, Vidyutjinn died. Angry Shrupnakha cursed Raavan that she will become a reason for her brother’s death.

The day Raavan kidnapped Sita and brought to Ashok Vatika, the same night, Lord Brahma had sent Indra Dev to Sita to give her kheer (sweet dish made of milk and rice). Indra Dev first through his supernatural powers made all demons present at Ashok Vatika sleep and then gave the kheer to Sita.When Lord Rama and Lakshman were searching for Sita in the forest, they had come across a demon, Kambadh whom they killed. Actually Kambadh had become a demon due to a curse. When Lord Rama went to burn his dead body, his soul was relived from the curse and he told him to do friendship with Sugreev. As per Ramayana, it had taken 5 days to construct a bridge over the ocean. 

Once Raavan went to Kailash Mountain to meet Lord Shiva. At Kailash he made fun of Nandi and laughed at him. In anger Nandi cursed Raavan. His curse was that a monkey will become a reason for Raavan’s destruction. As per Ramayana, when Raavan had lifted Mount Kailash to impress Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvati had got scared and cursed Raavan that he will die because of a woman.
When the battle between Rama and Raavan was being fought, Indra Dev had sent his magical cart for Rama. Lord Rama sitting in that cart had killed Raavan. Raavan used to like in Lanka, which was made of gold. Lanka was first ruled by Raavan’s elder brother Kuber. Raavan had won Lanka from his brother in a battle.

Once Raavan was going somewhere in his Pushpak Viman when he saw a beautiful woman busy in worshipping Lord Vishnu to marry the God himself. Raavan pulled her hair and ordered her to go with him. The woman sacrificed her body on the spot and cursed Raavan. Raavan was the king of all demons. As a child he was feared by all the people because of his ten heads. He was a firm believer of Lord Shiva. It’s a known thing that Ravana was also a very good scholar and studied the Vedas, but the reason of having the instrument veena as a symbol in his flag is that he was also an excellent player of veena. Though much of consideration was not given to this art in him, he liked playing this instrument.

The fight between Rama and Raavan ended by Rama killing Raavan, but it couldn’t have happened if not for Vibhisan support. When Raavan discussed about his war against Rama, all his ministers advised him to fight, while his younger brother Vibhisan advised Raavan to set Sita free and ask for forgiveness from Rama. But Vibhisan was sent away from the kingdom as Raavan was angry on him for taking sides of Rama. So Vibhisana helped Rama at the time of war, and Raavan made Rama believe with illusions that Sita is dead. When Rama fell fainted, it is Vibhisan who makes Rama understand the power of black magic of Raavan and how he can be killed with the power of his ten heads and his boon of immortal of nectar drink. If not for Vibhisan, the war could have ended differently. So Rama was able to defeat Raavan with the help of Vibhisan, hence Rama makes him the king of Lanka, after the death of Raavan.

According to the entire story, Raavan was pictured as a cruel, most monstrous demon, which disrespected all the holy people. When he heard about Rama’s attack because of kidnapping Sita, his brother advised him to surrender. Being as adamant to his powers Raavan denied the fact that he will be killed, instead he stood his ground to fight in order to get moksha/mukthi from Rama’s hands and reach back to Lord Vishnu. He said “if Rama and Lakshmana are two normal humans, than I will carry Sita and win over the humans, but if they are Gods, then I will die in their hands with arrows and will attain Moksha”.

It is believed that Rama left the earth by taking the jala samadhi in the Sarayu River, when Sita is taken back by her mother earth Bhoodevi. When Sita could not bear yet another test to her innocence, while living in the forest, she requests the Goddess of earth to take her back. The Goddess parts the earth into two and Sita is taken back, while her son Kush tries to hold his mother. Later Kush being disappointed with losing his mother also follows her. Rama feels it unbearable to lose his beloved wife he ends his human life on the earth and reaches Lord Vishnu in Sarayu River.

Is krishna helps Kauravas To Win The War ?

Facts About Before The Mahahabharata had happen

Before the war, both Arjun and Duryodhan had gone to Krishna asking for help. Duryodhan had reached Krishna before Arjun and sat near his head. Arjun came after Duryodhan and sat near krishna's feet. When Krishna woke up, he saw Arjun first since he was right opposite his eye view and asked him his purpose of visit.However, since Duryodhan had come before Arjun, he got angry and complained that he came first. To this, Krishna replied that since he saw Arjun first therefore, his wish would be fulfilled first. Arjun given the chance asks Krishna to come on his side leaving Duryodhan more than happy, as he wanted the army and not unarmed Krishna.  

It was a Master plan! Before the war, both Arjuna and Duryodhana had a choice between Krishna and his army. Arjuna had happily picked Krishna and Duryodhana happily picked the army, so it was not Krishna who actually gave his army to Kauravas. In fact, Krishna played this drama because he knew that Arjuna would prefer him and Duryodhana, who never considered Krishna as God, would prefer the powerful army instead. He never wanted to be at Kaurava's side. This deal also made both Arjuna and Duryodhana happy and satisfied. Each thought what the other guy got was worthless compared to what he picked!

Then, why did Krishna want to give his army to Kauravas? Why did he want to give anything to Duryodhan at all? One of Krishna's Avatar mission was to get the subcontinent rid of the powerful warriors, and restore the balance. Because at that time Kings processed too much power (army, weapons, too many powerful warriors) and that power challenged the peace of the overall society. In this mission, he wanted his powerful army too to be perished. Thus, he gave them to Kauravas. It was Arjun who killed Krishna's army, with Krishna's support as his charioteer (the Narayani Sena) Krishna's army fought along with Samsaptakas against Arjun and he was the one who exterminated all of them. If Krishna had given his Narayani Sena (of 2 Akshauhinis) to Pandava side, size of the armies of both sides would have been equal.

Kaurava Army  = 11-2 = 9 Akshauhinis
Pandava Army = 7+2 = 9 Akshauhinis

If the initial sizes of the armies were equal, the winning side would have had a big remnant at the end of the war. Even having started with smaller army Pandavas’ side had some army left with them in the end. So, if they had started with equal size, Pandavas’ side would have had more than 2 Akshauhinis of army left with them at the end. Who would kill them then? This is why Krishna gave his army to the losing side.Krishna did not have to help Duryodana. According to Kshatriya rules, warriors always had the right to help their friends no matter the other side asked or not. Only a person who is not attached much to any side chooses his help to the side that approaches him first. We can also see that most of the important allies of Kauravas and Pandavas chosen their sides based on their friendships and previous enmities. 

Personally, Krishna was always with Pandavas but, officially his Kingdom  had equal political relationship with both Pandavas and Kauravas. Thus he decided to provide some material help to Duryodhan too.However, according to Mahabharat, one particular group of yadavas still fought from Pandavas. It included Krishna's son Pradyumn. Satyaki fought from Pandavas side mainly because Arjun was his guru.

Krishna wanted to be on Pandavas side as he considered them abiding by the dharma and a vehicle to fulfill his mission of establishing dharma. But probably due to discordant voices within his unit, or for some other reason he separated himself from the unit. Krishna did not desert/abandon his army. He protected yadavas for most of his life, although- as he professed in the Gita - with perfect detachment.Also, since Krishna was a cousin to both sides of the war he could not be partial to anyone. He neither believed the Pandavas were absolutely pure beings, nor that the Kauravas were absolute evil. This was not the way he looked at life.He constantly maintained a good relationship with the Kauravas. Duryodhana’s wife Banumathi was a devotee of his. He did not see the Kauravas as out and out evil – he just saw that they were causing much evil.

In many ways, Krishna tried to encourage Duryodhan to strive for dharma. Even at that point when he gave this choice between him and his army, he still tried to avoid the war. In a way, it was a very intelligent move to give the army to Duryodhan. That way, Duryodhan felt that Krishna was on his side, thinking the Pandavas were fools to take one person instead of a 100,000-man-strong army. This could have been something for Duryodhan to latch on to and bring peace, but it failed.Krishna wanted to be on Pandavas side as he considered them abiding by the dharma and a vehicle to fulfill his mission of establishing dharma.
