Reading Notes: Mahabharata Video Section A

Notes:

  • Introductin
    • Story of an all-consuming war
    • An account of how Karma functions
  • Episodes 1-8
    • King Shantanu and Ganga river goddess
      • Asking not to be questioned should have been the first hint that there was something going on with this river godess
      • Evan if he promised not to question her he shouldn't have let her drown their children
    • King Shantanu and Satyavati
      • Devarat is dedicated to his father
      • That's a weird boon to grant Devarat
    • Bhishma was really mean to Amba
    • Dhristarshtra 
      • Why does he want to be king if he doesn't want all the responsibilities of being king
      • Ganhari is probably more dedicated than she needed to be towards him
      • Why is Shakuni so angry that she decided to blindfold herself for the rest of her life
        • No one forced her to do it
        • Shakuni just needs to chill

Dhristarshtra and Gandhari
