The topic I have chosen is to
simply implicate that the generation next to ours is stronger and intelligent
than us. This we come across while seeing the next generation of us. They are
capable of using a touch phone at the age of 1 and can call even. They have the
talent to challenge the most competitive world at a high school class. Some times we feel they are more like us, but the truth is they are like you at the age of 1 year when you are in 30's.
TretaYuga
Our story begins from Tretayuga
where Lord Shriram faces his own children Lavakusa’s in a war comfortably easier
than his worthy opponents like Ravana.
Lord Shri Ram defeats the demon
Ravana in the greatest wars of Indian History at Sri Lanka and returns back to
his country along with Devi Sita his consort after releasing her from Ravana.
He becomes the best ruler of worlds and earns the highest rank among the hearts
of his people. Lord Shri Ram used to go outside his palace as a common man and
wishes to know the difficulties of his people always. One day he finds a
husband and wife fighting with each other. Husband finds fault with his wife’s
behavior and beats her. Wife says that the affection and love towards wife
should be like lord shri ram who accepted her wife after being in the palace of
Ravana for those many days. Husband unknowingly responds that saying I am not
that fool to accept the guilty like Shri Ram. Listening to that Lord Shriram
feels bad and orders his brother Lakshmana to drop his pregnant wife in
forests. Lakshmana with heavy heart leaves Devi Sita in forest. Devi sita walks
toward the deepest forest and finally reaches the hermitage of Maharshi Valmiki.
She takes the shelter in the hermitage and gives birth to the twin children-
Lava and Kusha.
Lord Shriram was not able to show
up in his court for years. In mean time lovely kids Lava and Kusha grew young
as Muni Putra. They were taught of the greatest king Lord Shriram as a role
model to everyone and was asked to educate everyone. One day they reach kingdom
Ayodhya and meets Lord Shriram. Lord appreciates them for their affection but
was never able to answer them for question why lord left his consort in forest.
They never knew that their mother is lord’s consort. Lavakusha’s develop a sort
of aversion on Lord thereafter.
One day lord performs a penance to
extend his kingdom, it is Ashwamedha Yagam --Which means a horse of lord
shriram is left freely on lands and to what extent it may travel. All of it
belongs to the king. Whoever stops the free horse are declared as enemies to
king and they shall face the mighty king till their conquered. The Royal Horse
travels towards the hermitage of Maharshi Valmiki where the Lava Kusha’s stop
it challenging the mighty king. They decided to face Lord Shriram for making
Devi Sita suffer in forests. Knowing the word that the horse is stopped by some
saint kids, Bharatha and Shatrugna brothers of Lord Shri Ram go forward to make
them understand the power of Lord. Lava Kusha are the best in knowledge and
knows everything about the Lord from Valmiki and their mother. Both the
brothers of lord are unable to convince the children and decided to fight them.
Kids easily defeat them – They have the power of Father and Blessings too.
Lakshmana the angry brother of Lord
knowing the defeat of his brothers move forward to revenge but gets pleased by
the kid’s appearance and asks them to accept defeat. However they never accepts
such offer and fights him too. They defeat Lakshmana as well. To be more
concise and clear, Lord Rama is Shri Maha Vishnu, Lakshmana his serpentine,
Bharatha and Shatrugna are his Sudarshana Chakra and Sankha.
Lord Shri Ram himself comes to know
about the caliber of the saint kids. Lord Hanuma knowing that the kids are
fighting their own father conveys the same message to Devi Sita. By that time
the kids stands against and stands above all the Astra of Lord. Lord is left
with no other choice than leaving his SUPER Astra --- RAM BAAN (Arrow of Ram)
with which demon Ravana is killed. It is believed that the power of entire
Ramavatar is embedded into that weapon.
Devi Sita comes to rescue her
children and stands before lord shri ram after many years. Identifying his
consort lord understands that his sons stood against him unknowingly. Kids
knowing that their father is lord shri ram drops their weapon and withdrew war.
Lord accepts Lava Kusa and makes them the kings. Devi Sita completes her Avatar
after handing over the kids to their father and Rama completes his avatar after
making his sons as kings.
DwaparYuga
Story of Veera Abhimanya:
Lord Krishna as the role player all
the young kings of the Pandavas and Kauravas are killed in MahaBharatha. Lord
Krishna who is the incarnation of Shri Maha Vishnu himself believed that the
young kings, sons of Pandavas and Kauravas are much stronger than their fathers
and fore fathers. Hence he played a role in each story by getting them killed
at MahaBharath war. The question why they has to be killed raises before we
start telling the stories. Before Dwaparyuga, the goddess of earth visits Shri
Maha Vishnu and asks to relieve her from the pain of bearing the weight which
is increase of population on earth. Then Lord decides to create a huge war on
earth and thereby decreasing the weight. The reason for Lord’s Incarnation lies
behind the oath given to Goddess of earth. His actions has always contributed
towards killing the unbeatable warriors on earth, his reasons are simple when
there is no opponent, no need of a warrior. He always wanted to make a sole
heir for the throne and doesn’t want the brothers to fight anymore.
Let’s start with the warrior
Abhimanya who is the son of King Arjuna. To start with his story, let’s start
from the time when he is in the womb of his mother-Subadhra. When he is womb
Subadhra asked Arjuna to be with her and tell something he knows. Arjuna being
an expert as Archer tells her all the secrets of war and how to destroy various
battle formations. While he is deeply explaining Chakravyuha Subadhra falls
asleep. He never identifies it and continues to tell the process of entering
the chakravyuha for which abhimanya from womb listens and learns. When Arjuna
is about to tell the exit process of Chakravyuha Lord Krishna comes there and
makes him realize that Subadhra is sleeping. This way Princess Abhimanya is
aware of entering the chakravyuha but never know how to exit which leads to his
death.
When he became young he was trained
by Pradyumna, son of Sri Krishna and father Arjuna. He marries Uttara, daughter
of King Virata. Abhimanya stands on the war day of 13th in
MahaBharath and helps pandavas in overcoming their defeat. He is just 16 years and
he kills about ¾ of
akshouhini army single handedly. The story of this warrior is so painful when
it just started. His wife Uttara, is carrying parikshit (who is the only one
ruler left after MahaBharath). He starts for helping his family in war at this
stage and he never sees them again.
The story starts when Dronacharya
plans to capture Yudishtira in the absence of Arjuna. He plans for a
Chakravyuha on the 13th day of war and asks Bhagadatta to lure
Arjuna by taking him away from the war field. Arjuna chases him and leaves the
war field. To beat the chakravyuha, rest of pandavas are not capable. They seek
the help of Abhimanya in this point and assures him that they will follow him
destructing the entire army. Here comes the introduction of another king
Saindhava who achieves the boon of stopping all the Pandavas except Arjuna for
one day. He stops all the pandavas and Abhimanya was left alone on the fields
of Chakravyuha. He enters into the chakravyuha with a force and first takes the
blessings of all elders with arrows.
He is a courageous and dashing
warrior, he is capable to hold all great heroes of that era – Drona,
Duryodhana, Karna, Dushashana, Kripacharya, Bhishma,etc., and proves that none can win him in Dwandva
Yudha( One to One Combat). He destroys the entire army which came on his way
and killed many warriors. He spared Duryodhana so that his uncle Bhima can
fulfill his oath. When Duryodhana’s son, Lakshmana comes to defend his father
Abhimanya kills him in one single arrow. Seeking to take revenge somehow on the
young prince, Duryodhana orders all his warriors to attack at a time on
Abhimanya.
Drona also concludes that he cannot be killed in one to one combat
and has to do it only through illicit means. Following them Karna cuts-off
Abhimanya’s Bow, Drona and Kripa kills the horses and Charioteers. Abhimanya
starts fighting with his sword and soon it is also separated from him, Drona
destroys the sword and shield of prince with his arrows. Young prince finds
nothing to fight with and hence picks the wheel of the broken chariot but it is
broken into fragments by the enemy forces with arrows. He picks up a mace and
fights Ashwatthama who leaps back avoiding the fight. Abhimanya kills Durmasana
son of Dushasana who came forward to fight him alone. Seeing this Dushasana aim
arrows on him and makes him without that mace. Karna stabs him in back and one
by one everyone throws an arrow each and contributes to the death of Abhimanya,
the great warrior. Lord Krishna knowing the future drives away his father
Arjuna from war field.
However Arjuna pledges to kill
Saindhava who has stopped his brothers from supporting his son and kills him by
sunset.
This is the story of a great
warrior who has performed his war skills better than his father and of course
better than anyone.
Story of Veera Ghatotkacha:
Veera Ghatotkacha is the son of
Bhima and Hidimbi. He is half-demon and half-human by their parents. Possess
many magical powers and is able to fight during nights as demon. In Mahabharat
he is an important fighter. He made all the opponents-Kauravas think that can
we survive this night from him and spared for tomorrow. He received a boon from
Lord Krishna himself that his magical powers can be untouched for everyone
except him. He is married to Ahilwathi and have a son named Barbarika.
Coming to Base Line where the role
of Lord Krishna has meant importantly in saving his favorite Arjuna. Karna had
saved a weapon, Shakthi for killing Arjuna which is granted as boon from Indra
when he gives away all his armor cutting his flesh. To be more concise Karna is
son of Lord Surya and he is born with armor which is not penetrable by any
arrow. He has a great nature of sacrificing anything when someone requests. He
is by that nature until he kills Veera Abhimanya after pleading for a mace.
Arjuna is the son of King Indra,
Indra knowing that his son cannot defeat karna when he wears armor takes the
form of a Brahmin and requests him for that. Karna cuts his flesh and gives
away the armor and ear rings, Indra getting pleased with his nature presents
him a powerful weapon named Vimala Shakti. This is saved by karna for the next
day’s war and meant to use against Arjuna. Lord Krishna knowing everything asks
Bhima to call for Ghatotkacha intimating the death of Veera Abhimanya. In one
fight Veera Abhimanya gets defeated with Ghatotkacha. Later they come to know
that they are brothers and were more affectionate. Such was the ability of Ghatotkacha.
By
characteristic of the demons, their powers get increased and become
extraordinarily powerful in nights. No warrior on Kaurava side was able to
restrict Ghatotkacha in that night time. His dark skills keep on increasing in
that night. Duryodhana calls for Karna and asks him to use the Shakthi against
him. Karna says him that Arjuna can never be stopped if this weapon is
consumed. Duryodhana says him that we can never survive this night from that
warrior and fight tomorrow if he is not dead. Understanding the means of his
king, Karna Aims Ghatotkacha with his mighty gifted weapon.
Ghatotkacha realizing that his end has come in the form of
weapon increases his gigantic size. Ghatotkacha dies at one shot of that mighty
weapon. When he has fell on the army one akshouhini army gets crushed below
him. (Akshouhini consists of 21,870 Chariots, 21,870 elephants, 65,610 Cavalry
and 109,350 Infantry).
Story of Upa pandavas:
UpaPandavas
are the five sons born to Draupadi from each of the five Pandavas. They are
Prativindya born to Yudhistira, Satanika born to Nakula, Sutasoma born to Bhima,
Srutasena born to Sahadeva and Srutakarma born to Arjuna.
All of them are survived till the
end of MahaBharath war. Surviving till end of MahaBharath war itself indicates
the capability of Upa Pandavas in war. They kills everyone who is on their way.
However there are no such stories indicating their capability at war. Once King
Duryodhana is killed by Bhima, the war ended and the survivors from Kaurava
side are only Kritavarma, Vrishakethu, Kripacharya and Ashwatthama-Son of
Drona. Ashwatthama then knows about the death of his father who was killed when
no weapon is handled by him. He also comes to know that Yudishtira lied that
Ashwatthama is dead in war and hence his father dropped the weapons which lead
to death through Arjuna. Thinking to take revenge on pandavas he attacks them
during night with the help of other survivors. They kills everyone who came on
their way and finally kills the sleeping princes, the UpaPandavas assuming as
Pandavas. Krishna plays a role here by making the young princes to sleep in
Pandavas camp. Ashwatthama unknowingly kills them and escapes from there. He
takes shelter in a hermitage which belongs to Vyasa.
Pandavas seek to revenge for the
death of their sons and search for Ashwatthama. When they are about to reach
the hermitage. Ashwatthama devises a powerful weapon Brahmastra on them for
which Arjuna also devises Brahmastra (A powerful Atom Bomb) against. All the
worlds crumble against the power of the mighty weapons when Lord Krishna and
Vyasa Intervene and asks to take the weapon back. Arjuna who has learned
everything from Dronacharya, father of Ashwatthama takes the weapon back but
Ashwatthama is not aware of this and hence he redirects it to the womb of
Uttara where Parikshit, son of Abhimanya is growing. Lord Krishna knowing that
the only last heir is left in her womb protects him against the mighty weapon.
Lord Curses Ashwatthama for fighting on nights and on his intention of killing
children.
