KATHA PARAMATH KI

JAYA - MAHABHART

We all know “BHAGAVAD GITA” if you are not aware of it…Here’s a quick intro to it. The Gita is set in a narrative framework of a dialogue between Pandava prince Arjuna and his guide and charioteer Krishna. At the start of the Dharma Yudhha (righteous war) between Pandavas and Kauravas, Arjuna is filled with moral dilemma and despair about the violence and death the war will cause in the battle against his own. He wonders if he should renounce and seeks Krishna's counsel, whose answers and discourse constitute the Bhagavad Gita. Krishna counsels Arjuna to "fulfill his Kshatriya (warrior) duty to uphold the Dharma" through "selfless action”. The Krishna–Arjuna dialogues cover a broad range of spiritual topics, touching upon ethical dilemmas and philosophical issues that go far beyond the war Arjuna faces. We will start from the first and know what and how things happened which lead to war and the Gita.

So here we start...The Great Epic

CHAPTER - 1

WHO WROTE WHAT?

They were perhaps whispers of God, or maybe insights of the wise. They gave the world meaning and life a purpose. These chants relived Vedanta, the yearning of the restless human soul, hence became collectively known as the veda. Those who heard them first came to know as rishi.

One day vaysa classified hymns and created four collection – thus the Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharav veda came in the world. On completing this task vaysa came had this inexplicable urge to write a story, one that would convey the most abstract Vedic truths to the simplest to the men farthest corners of the world. Vays decided to take the help of the elephant headed god “ganesha”. But ganesha and vaysa had a small conversation before that headed forward

Ganesha said “you have to narrate the story without a pause”

“I will” said vaysa “provided you write nothing unless it makes sense to you”

When Vyas was composing Mahabharata, he needed someone to take down his dictation and asked the learned Ganesha for the same. Ganesh agreed but he had a condition - that Vyas would not stop even for a moment or else he would stop writing and leave. Vyas dictating as fast as he could and Ganesh bent down over the script pages. Finally, his reed pen broke. To which, he broke off a part of his tusk to be used as a pen thereon.
