Reading Notes: Part A Mahabharata

Mahabharata is the story about "Justice" and "Injustice" that was done to The Sons of Pandu.

I will be focusing on the king and queens, and there five sons.  The king name was Pandu and his first wife name was Kunti and second wife name was Madri.  The sons of the Pandu's real father was the God's, the first son name is Yudhishthira father is Dharma means justice.  The second son name is Bhima and his father was Vayu a wind god, third son name is Arjuna and his father was king of all god's name Indra and he comes after three god Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.  The other two sons name is Nakula and Sahadeva who were twins and they were the son of Sun god name Surya.

Those five were the main character in the Mahabharata, but it happens with all event falling into piece one by one.  King Pandu who was hunting and killed the someone else and he got curse from Kindama that he will die when he will have intercourse with any women thus he would not have children. The one who king Pandu loved was Madri and he die in the hands of Madri.  It was ironic and romantic that the king Pandu died and Kunti wanted to die with as she was the first wife of king Pandu but the one who he loved was Madri.  They both were arguing and the Brahmins come and says that the one who king Pandu love should die with him and Madri die with him and follow him to heaven.


Kunti was left behind to take care of her five sons.  Character of Kunti was to fulfil the role as a queen and mother, where Pandu and Madri are in love and they will die for each other.
