Description
MAHABHARATA: One of the 2 great epics (other being Ramayana) that explores the goals of life.
1. Composed By: Original version was written in Sanskrit - by sage Ved Vyas - around 3000 BC (5000 years ago).
2. Mahabharata also teaches that even kings need to go through hell (tough times). That is god's way of checking whether the person gets shaken
from the truth. If the person stays on the right path, then the life adventure ends in peace.
3. Mahabharata consists of over 100,000 shloka or over 200,000 individual verse lines. It is about 4 times the length of the Ramayana. Bhagvad Gita
is a part of Mahabharata which helps to attain self-realization for guidance of mankind.

Several years later, Shantanu fell in love with another woman Satyavati and asked her to marry him.
But Satyavati's father put a condition for marriage that Shantanu's sons born with Satyavati must be given the kingdom crown.
Shantanu refused as he had already promised Devavrata the right to his kingdom. Shantanu's started missing Satyavati and became sad.
Devavrata - wanted to see his father happy - went to Satyavati's father and delinquished his right to kingdom.
Devavrata also vowed never to marry so that there won't be any claimant for the throne. The gods blessed Devavrata with the title name
'Bheeshma' for this great rejection of material kingdom.
6. Shantanu married Satyavati and they had two sons Chitrangad and Vichitravirya. After Shantanu's death, his elder son Chitrangad was crowned
king but he died in a battle. Vichitravirya took over but he too died soon without producing any child/heir to the kingdom.

2. She asked for husbands to be set free. Dhritarashtra returned everything back to Pandavs and set them free. This annoyed Duryodhan.
3. Duryodhan coaxed Pandavs to one last game with a condition that if Pandavs lose that last game, they will have to stay in forest for 12 years
without being discovered by Pandavs and live the 13th year among people in disguise without getting recognized. If Pandavs were found during
the 13 years, they would have to remain in exile for another 13 years.
4. Yudhisthir lost that last game too and so Pandavs left to live in forest in disguise for 13 years.
