Mahabharatha Stories

A short story conceived on the backdrop of Mahabharatha characters.

Vikarna one of the 99 brothers of Duryodhana the sons of Gandhari and Dritharashtra. He was the equivalent of Ramayana Kumbhakarna, a maharathi - one who commands the master chariot. Who was only one of 11 such in Kaurava army , so definitely he was a great warrior. But what sets him apart - just like Kumbhakarna he tells his brother that he is doing adharma, injustice, immoral and wrong. But still dies for his brother. A short story of Vikarna the warrior and just human the Kaurava who made Bhima's heart melt...

The Mahabharatha is skewed with too many myths. A small first step in dismantling some popular ones about Karna, Draupadi, Sutas and more.

A young girl from the Dwapara Yuga hears a part of the great Bhagavad Gita through a dream. Why was she chosen? How did she hear it? Delve in to know about the secrets, mysteries and politics that took place and how the girl used her knowledge to change history. Vidhvathi (Sanskrit - possessor of knowledge) continues to engage in her daily activities, yet she is able to create disturbances in the lives and destinies of thousands... because this girl in now 'special'. How will she change what has already been written in destiny? How will the girl, who has been freed from the ties of niyati, use her knowledge to change predestined history? "The law does not bend before the crown, O Prince! Your judgement is highly erroneous." "Weapons are not ornaments to a warrior. They are the warrior's life and pride. And one must take pride only in things that cause greater good to society." Disclaimer - I declare that I do not own any characters of the original Mahabharata and the story that follows is but a fictional imagination of the events that have been recorded in the renowned Mahabharata. I sincerely apologize if my work causes any harm/discomfort to anyone. Kindly do not insult anyone on basis of this work. I repeat - I do not own the Mahabharata.

Did Bhishma really forbid Karna from fighting under him or was it Karna who refused? Whose decision left Duryodhana without his most trusted warrior and best friend in the most critical war of his life?

Did Karna donate his golden tooth to Krishnas he lay dying on battlefield?

How did Pritha get the boon? What did the boon say? How did Pritha agree to Surya's command? Where did infant Karna end up?

Arjuna's triumph as Brihannala never gets the attention it deserves. The fear stricken Uttar kumar here later transitions into a brave warrior who gives his life for the Pandavas at Kurkshetra. It is at Matsya, when the kauravas attack, that Uttar witnesses the might of Jishnu first hand. So terrible is Arjuna's wrath in battle that Uttar is dazed and astounded as he attempts to keep pace with the speed and force of Arjun's attack. This is a dramatized recounting based on Shri Kisari Mohan Ganguli's translation of Vyasa's Mahabharatha. I posted this on my Substack account and now am posting it here.

The trend today is make heroes out of villains and to do so, it is common to the villains as poor victims. In the Mahabharatha, Krishna is 'accused' of 'cheating' all through to help the Pandavas win. Is this true? What does Vyasa Bharatha say?

A common misconception that a forest with all its animals was burned down just to build the Pandava kingdom. The fact- NO, it wasn't.

It's a Mythological Anthology. A story of events which defines the relationship between Arjuna and Krishna. Based On Vyasa Bharatha.

Yuyutsu - Son of Kuru King Dhritharashtra and a maid of Gandhaari called Sukhada. Yuyutsu never was respected even though he was same age as Duryodhana. Yuyutsu and Vikarna were the two who never agreed or like the evil ways of Duryodhana. Like Vibhishana of Ramayana who disagreed and disliked Ravana's evil ways. Like Vibhishana he abandoned his evil brother during the Kurukshetra war. He was one of the few who chose dharma over relationship and various pretexts.

The Mahabharatha - a re-telling

Duryodhana never started a war until he had all confidence that he can win. What was the reason for that? He felt he had two things. One the numbers - more than 50% strength in army. Two the warriors - more than enough to match Pandava warriors. HOW? Let us look at what lead to Duryodhana's over confidence and down fall..

Magic. It surrounds you. It's all around you. But only those who know its value Can wield it true. The magic realm of old has been awakened. Monsters roam free in this modern world, but the heroes of valor aren't here. Six ordinary teenagers are plunged into a world both ancient and new, and are bestowed upon with fate. With a new journey to endure and evil to fight, will these teenagers emerge successful with their lives intact? Or will they crumble between their duties and their heart. The heroes of mahabharatha are back and are now ready to pass on their legacy to the next generation. Life may seem unfair but nothing is impossible when dharma is by your side.

Ekalavya is often misrepresented as a very young, poverty stricken tribal child who was denied basic education by the upper class Drona. Is this what Vyasa says? Not really. Find out who Ekalavya was and what reasons Drona could have had to reject him.

Love ! A single word in which many emotions , feeling & bond are contained ; One word which gives us pain , sorrow , strength and abundant happiness ! An intense feeling which makes us feel worthy . Winter shall pass , summer shall pass and so would time ! but love still lingers. Life is a flower where , love is the honey ! It said that 'True Love has no end and , is alive till eternity !' ; A life with love , is never dull ! . 'Life is never believed to run smoothly it has , it's own plans' . True love shall surpass , the darkest days and will shine till eternity ! 'The bonds of Mahabharatha ' which were hidden and forgotten as time passed . Situations have changed from 'the happiest to the darkest' but , they stayed together , they fought together and celebrated together !

Baahubali the 1000 crore collection movie has been the talk of even BBC. Many commented on the aspects of movie making, effects, acting etc I looked at the story. I am not in any position to comment on the great actors. THEY WERE AND ARE GREAT AND LEGENDS LIKE SATHYARAJ CANNOT BE EVALUATED BY ME. But as an avid reader and small time author let me evaluate the story and compare to the greatest story and epic ever Mahabharatha.... From a definite alignment to the great epic the twists that made this different by that genius Raja Mouli...
