Others have already pointed out similarities to the Odysee (Ulysses as a *legitimate ruler* , wandering the earth aimlessly after the Trojan War, having to disguise himself as a beggar, and besting suitors for his assumed widowed wife at an archery feat as only he could - there is even the part of Argos, the aging hunting dog, recognizing his master in disguise). Krishna was struck dead at his heel by an arrow - the only vulnerable spot of his body. That very spot is also chosen in a similar fate in oral histories of Achilles, a son of Thetis, a Nereid sea nymph and tutored by the Centaur Chiron (which could be interpreted as a reference to nomadic, Skythian influence). In the New World, there is a Navajo tradition of an Anasazi gambler who indentured people - and while the Kannadas are actual Dravidic hunter-gatherers, devoted to Krishna, Hebrew tradition reflects aspects of the *cultural heroes* of the Pandavas when gaining a 'promised land', led by the 'lord of hosts', ultimately leading into another diaspora, regardless. That Yudhisthira is favored is noteworthy - remotely like Abel in Hebrew tradition - as an offspring of Yama the God of *justice* (also related to the transience of time, death, the afterlife and thereby fate).

The story of Mahabharata is the story of humanity. No one is perfect not even the Demigods. One learns the art of acceptance and the importance of duty and action irrespective of caste or creed, male or female, warrior or farmer. This is the greatest story of human fragility and lack of human intellect when most needed. Thank you Kelly for a great description of the greatest Epic ever written - The Mahabharata.

@Ruo368cee My friend, I live on the Pak Afghan border. No one in the entire region quotes or teaches the Mahabharata. There is no tradition of it in Pashto, or Balochi or Tajiki, which are the major Afghan languages bordering Pakistan. The Uzbeks and Tajiks quote a lot of Firdausi (a Persian poet), and the Pashtuns have their own folklore. But never has Mahabharata as a traditional tale been told here in any numbers. This man is capping. He is farming likes and comments from Indians by telling lies. Maybe he is settled in India and has learnt the Mahabharata there, but there is no tradition of it in Afghanistan or Pakistan. But you are a revanchist Indian, what more can be expected from you, that you will not fall over yourself to believe any lie that local con artists tell you, if only it will make you feel patriotic.

They say that, the war was so destructive that most of the men folk died in the war, warriors from all parts of the world took part in the battle, They even have a character named, KalaYavana (which literally means, Dark Greek man). Pyres upon pyres being burnt of bodies, the land of Kurukshetra (modern day, Haryana, India) turned red in color and still can be seen red. The sun didn't rise for months because of the smoke from millions of Pyres being burnt, coverd the sky pitch black. The war created chaos and crumbles the society, which Krishna already knew and told that this is law of nature no body can stop it, one will unintentionally only support it. Wailing of the widows echoed in the sky and human civilization ceased to progress and gotten into decline. That's how the different surviving communities scattered and settled in different regions. So began the dark ages, the Yadava Clan destroy themselves completely through a civil war. The greatest statesmen, politician, and diplomat to ever live, Krishna dies, in the forest alone, helpless, because no body is there, for even the God. Last Virtous king Parikshit takes the throne in the declined society and tries to gather it, but then again, it has gone back to herds and tribe like cultures, from the glory. Parikshit looses and makes way for the Kali(Darkness) to take over. Hence comes the Kaliyuga, the age of Darkness which we live in, tribes societies, nations, religions emerge, cruel emperors, Kings and dictators grow. The Kaliyuga continues in one form or another, so Krishna spoke.

At the time of the 18-day Mahabharata in BC, the world had two and a half hundred crore population. There were ten people who were influenced by the Mahabharata. It is estimated to have killed one billion 66 million 20 thousand people. In the case of genocide, more people died in it than in the first and Second World Wars. 78 Kingdoms took part in it on behalf of the Kauravas and Pandavas. Prof. Priyank has stated in his research that 17 types of Phalanx were created in the Mahabharata. Nuclear bombs like Brahmastra were released. Power missile, Nasr such as weaponry omitted which in today's missile and nuclear bomb over the exterminator and Being dangerous. Research base Based on the Mahabharata, Devi Purana and Shrimad Bhagavat of Vedavyas, Priyank in his research paper reported that Arjuna killed nine crore in 18 days, Bhishma Pitamah killed 10 crore soldiers in battle. There is no major and technological war in the world. It fully meets the World War standard. This lapse in history must be corrected...

Correction- Pandavas actually went to hell initially, after their death, except for Yudhister & his dog. In heaven, Yudhister saw all the Kavravas in heaven, and he was livid. And he could not find any of his brothers and Dravpadi (their wife.) Yudhister then asked to be taken to hell to meet his brothers and wife. He found them there in bad conditions paying for their mistakes and past sin. He then asked to remain with them in hell. However, Pandavas had to endure temporary punishment as a result of their past sin and mistakes. After serving their time and undergoing purification, they were eventually granted entry into heaven. Their virtuous deeds and righteousness outweighed their temporary sojourn, leading to their eventual ascent to heaven. Kavravas, on the other hand, had enjoyed heaven for their good deeds and were eventually sent to hell. After they faced their misdeeds, they reentered heaven. All Pandavas had an ego, greed, addiction to food like Bhima was, envy, etc., except Yudhistera. He was the only one who was wise and had totally been able to renounce everything. Including his brothers and wife. When Pandavas were dying one by one, he never looked back once. He had no emotions of any kind. This was a sign that he had truly renounced everything and achieved peace. NOTE- Heaven and hell in Hinduism isn't physical place. It is merely a state of mind. Being at peace is heaven, and suffering is hell. Therefore, to get to heaven and achieve salvation, one must renounce everything and be at peace to be in heaven. I.e., anger, ego, greed, etc. Then only you achieve Mosksha, AKA salvation. If you carry baggage, then you are essentially still suffering for your misdeed, as he has not let things go. Therefore, keep in mind that heaven is a state of mind = at peace. Also, this tale depicts how one cannot know what is right and wrong while doing karma. It is complex. However, one must do their dharma. There is more to it but a lot to explain. Watch other youtube videos on it if interested.

Duryodhan already blessed by his mom to become iron bodied, could have picked up Yudshitira and finished him off in seconds as Yudhistir is bow and arrow guy and Duryodhan knows very well bow & Arrow but he specialises in mace and his arch rival is Bheema the gaint who could defeat Duryodhana. That is when he tells Yudhistira, all his friends are dead and so are his brothers and he has no desire for kingdom and why Yudhistira is a fool and not king material. He chose Mace and Bheema, fought valiantly and dies by a deceit by Bheema.

False dates! Already the list of the dynasties after the war of Kurukshetra in the 1st chapter of the 12th book of the Srimad Bhagavatam sums up to more than 4000 years and don't end with the birth of Christ! So this unquestionably denies the dates, given for the war. Srimad Bhagavatam 12.1.39 then seems to refer to the foundation of the Indus Valley Civilisation at about 3500 BC. And this added to the more than 4000 years leads to 7500 BC. But there is another calculation based on ancient traditions which leads to about 9000 BC and I think that's the correct date for the war of Kurukshetra.

This part is missed....... Pandavas in exile were passing by a pond. They wanted some water to drink to run down exhaustion. The pond was a prohibited place and was guarded by a yaxa (some one who is between god and human). When the four brothers one by one drank water had been arrested by the yaxa because they did not take permission from him. Knowing this yudhisthir requested the yaxa to give mercy and release his brothers. The yaxa placed a condition that, if he could give correct answers to his five questions then he would release them all. The questions and answers were as followes : 1. What is that fastest : thoughts 2 What is that heaviest: sin 3. What is that darkest : scandal 4. What is that hottest : anger 5. What is that finest : knowledge. Now by getting correct answeres yaxa released all his brothers.

As much as it is claimed to be the epic, it is Indian History. You meet the saints of India and realise that things are not the way it seems and while the plebeian population may make a mess out of history, folktales and golden bards. However, undeniably is the Mahabharata, the Gita and the Ramayana literally Hindu Indian history. It is not a text/novel/fantasy as per the convenience of the Judeo-Christian institutions.

A high level calculation of the number of soldiers who died in war of Mahabharata: Result = approx. 4 million. Here is the breakup: 1) Pandavas had 7 Aukshani army. Kauravas had 11 Aukshani army. Total = 18 Aukshani Army. Most of the army died in the war 2) 1 Aukshani = Elephants : Chariots : cavalry : Infantry in the ration 1:1:2:5, where 1 unit is 25,000 soldiers 3) 1 Aukshani = 25,000*9 = 225,000 soldiers 4) 18 Aukshani = 225,000*18 = 4,05,000 soldiers

@rahulchawla9040 4 ай бұрын

Just to clarify, that it's legendary narrative is only propelled by the majority Western scholars because the true dating of Mahabharat war as per the Indian historical records in Purana texts is 1500 BCE and this upset the narrative of western Indologists who, starting in the colonial times, put forth a theory that the composers of the oldest Indian text The Rigveda invaded India from eastern Europe around 1500 BCE, which has been proven false both by archarology and the study of human genetics. Now if they were to accept Mahabharata's date of 1500 BCE as asserted by the Indian Purana texts, knowing that Mahabharat is a post Vedic text, then where will the put the so called eastern european Aryans who allegedly invaded India in 1500 BCE and left absolutely no evidence of their deeds yet a few thousand of them changed the mother tongue of millions of Indians from the west to the east of the subcontinent without leaving any trace whatsoever of the original langauges, the replacement was so much complete, allegedly, that invading Aryans even changed the names of all rivers, flora and fauna. Something that these alleged east europeans could not do anywhere else in the world but they have allegedly done in India which was one of the most advanced civilisations, upto 10 million people per the archaeological record, complex argicultural society yet they, as per the westenr scholars, lost everything because a few thousand east europeans allegedly invaded India, but please do not ask them for evidence otherwise the western scholars will declare you as Indian nationalists. 😂 Don't take it in a wrong way, there is a lot of work done by Indians and even european scholars which supports the 1500 BCE date of the Mahabharata war, but such work is either brushed under the carpet or it is declared as nationalistic without providing any credible evidence to counter it. This is the mainstream truth about the scholarship of Indologists.

@stynershiner1854 4 ай бұрын

Aryans or proto-indo-europeans didn't come from Europe. They came from Central Asia. Around Tajikistan, Kazakhstan region. If you don't believe in the Indo-European migration, I can tell you don't study history or linguistics very well. Indian Sanskrit-based languages and culture literally is the same as paganistic indo-european cultures. Just because the word European is in "Indo-European" does not mean they came from Europe. So stop having an inferior complex.

@rahulchawla9040 2 ай бұрын

@stynershiner1854 I have very well spent a lot of time studying the IE studies and know about the proto Indo European. If you had read it carefully, the steppe people, who are proposed to be the origional PIE people, were from eastern Europe (Eukranian steppes). You cannot play sneaky by saying the Aryans came from central asia, when the steppe theory itself say that the central asia Andronovo/Sintashta who are claimed to be the proto-Indo-Iranian were the people who migrated from eastern europe (the steppe region of Eurkrain). But sorry, we have 100 ancient DNA samples from Pakistan dated 1200 BCE to 800 BCE which show scarcity of steppe R1a. Modern Indians have on average 15% central asian ancestry that mainly belongs to post 800 BCE migrations and mixing. This is supported by both the autosomal ancestey and the male Y haplogroup studies. The so called Sitashta/Andronovo people were Z2124+ branch of R1a and India has a negligible amount of this branch of R1a in India. We have the entire archsrology of the Indus-Saraswati valley, and Ganga plains to disprove any massive migration into the subcontinent that could have any linguistic impact on our people. Even the hydological study of the main river Saraswati of Rigveda, which was flowing from mountains to the ocean as per references in the Rigveda, per evidence lost its connection with it's source the himalayas in 2600 BCE (Chatterjee et al 2019). Rigveda is a text which has 10 books and some of these books were written much before 2600 BCE, and likely older than 3000 BCE, if we look at how many generations of the composers have spent on composing the Rigveda books.

I don't think the lines between the heroes and the antagonists of this epic is very thin. The Kauravas were clearly the aggressors every single time. The Pandavas surely had flaws but their intent and moral understanding was never questionable which is why the elders of the family as well as the people of the kingdom supported Yudhishthira's succession. That aside, great job! Really well articulated and the effort that went into researching and summarising this vast epic shows.
