Who is Bhishma ?

Facts About Maharathi Bhishma





When it comes to Mahabharat, there will be hardly anyone of the Hindu religion who would have not heard about the epic.  However, there are many things in this scripture that are neither told to anyone, and also people have not paid any attention to it. This epic is filled with innumerable interesting facts.

In the Shastras, Mahabharat is also known as the fifth Veda. The writer of this epic is Ved Vyas. Today we will tell you about that secret of Mahabharat you would have never heard or thought of.

Today we will tell you why and how Bhishma Pitamah had sacrificed himself.

On January 14 every year after the sunset at 7.08 pm, Sagittarius enters Capricorn. Due to parva kal and moksha kal, lakhs of people celebrated this day as Makar Sankrant.

However, on the same day, in Uttrayan it was Gods daytime and in Dakshinayan it was night. This Uttrayan has been mentioned in Geeta as well, when Bhishma Pitamah in this moksha kal had killed himself.
When Bhishma Pitamah was struck down by Arjuna,in the Mahabharata War, he fell down from his chariot. But since the arrows had pierced his chest (gone aar-paar), he did not touch the ground, but remained lying on the bed of arrows. His head was hanging, he needed to rest it, and told Arjuna to make some provision. Arjuna immediately stuck 3 arrows beneath his head to support it. Bhishma remarked joyfully - "What a fitting pillow for a warrior like me - a pillow to match the bed !". Next he asked for water, since he was thirsty. Arjuna once, more, struck a mighty arrow right through the earth, and Ganga maiya surged up to pour cool water in the parched mouth of her beloved son. So, Bhishma Pitamah had to suffer the pangs on the 
bed of arrows in battlefield before attaining final beatitude and redemption to Vaikuntha Loka.
