The illusionist [Mahabharat] [Slow Updates] [Under Editing]

prologue

It's easy to dream, it's easy to imagine but it's hard to turn them into reality.

When mayuri is given the chance to travel back to the age of demi gods, to the age of mahabharat and the age of lord krishna. How will she deal being reborn there as a child and eventually learning the truth about her herself and why she was destined to marry the pandavas.

____________

On the banks of Varanasi, Mayuri wandered around going into a deep thought. It's been 18 years since she came to this world and she never understood the purpose of her life.

She lived her entire life in the ashram of varanasi and was brought with spirituality, good education and care. She lived with the pandits and learned about the world from yogis and the travellers who come to rest in the ashram. She never knew who her parents were and who dropped her to this place.

She could not bother to blame anyone as for her she learned things from this ashram that would be available no where. She never yearned for parents love as she never had the chance to experience it. Instead she immersed herself in the devotion of gods and spent her time in reading books.

The one thing she was extremely fascinated was, the sanatan dharm history which people label as mythology as their brains cannot digest the logic and the meaning behind every little thing which happens in sanatan dharm.

Mahabharat was one such fascination she had since her childhood. What was the reason behing the kurukshetra war? What was in krishna's head through out the mahabharat? Were the characters really as evil as they are said to be? Was draupadi happy after marrying the pandavas? Speaking of that, who were the pandavas?

Millions of questions and everything unanswered and one thing she could never understand was that why she had immerse curiosity and respect for the five sons of maharaj pandu.

She believed she just have a silly teenage crush on them. I mean who wouldn't when you hear the glory and valor of their strength and dharm.

The most authentic versions of mahabharat didn't describe the feelings of the characters as those books were the point from an observer, from the point of ved vyas.

Perhaps that's the reason why people get confused and glorify some characters and hate others because you don't know why and for what the character is doing that specific thing. Mahabharat isn't about loathing anyone and she believed that, the people of kalyuga have no rights to assume the feelings of those characters on their own.

We can only learn and preach from mahabharat as it's considered the greatest war and the key for establishing dharma.

Mayuri sighed saying "I wish i could find out the truth on my own" and she kept her hand in the mighty ganga playing with the water when an immense force pulled her in.

She fell into the water and held her breath trying to swim up but an unknown force was holding her down. She slowly felt herself loosing conscious and closed her eyes falling into darkness.
