Mahabharata Chapter 03

Welcome to Episode 3 of Bhagavad Gita: Mahabharata.
In this series I outline the epic of the Mahabharata. The events that happened before and after the Bhagavad Gita.

For those that have not watched my Bhagavad Gita series you can find it on https://youtu.be/ZRr0tmRqGgc

For this series I have drawn inspiration from the works of
Sudipta Bhawmik and Avi Ziv in their series “Stories of the Mahabharata” https://shows.acast.com/thestoriesofmahabharata as well as the illustrated “Mahabharata” by Manoj Publications www.manojpublications.com.

Some years after the Queen and his son left, Shantanu was walking along the river Ganga. He would often return to the river to reminisce about his lost queen and son and think about the tragedy of his seven sons that were drowned in the river. He had lived the previous years filled with great sadness.

This time he saw a boy playing with a bow and arrow near the river. Something about the teenager made him curious and drew him closer. As he approached the boy Goddess Ganga emerged from the River.
Greetings dear King. As per my promise the time has come to return your son to you. He has completed his training. Over the years I have taken him to many different realms and great teachers.

He has learned the duties of Kings and political science. He has been taught the ancient religious scriptures as well as mental and spiritual sciences. He has knowledge of the duties of Priests AND has been trained in advanced warfare. He has also been gifted with celestial weapons from the King of the Gods.

I have named him Devavrata. Ganga then looked at the boy, “Go to your father my son and bring him joy.” Ganga then disappeared, her duties completed.

Shantanu was overjoyed to have his son and heir back. Over the years his son proved his wisdom and valour many times. He singlehandedly defeated an invading army and was loved by all in the Kingdom.

Shantanu was immensely proud of his son but he still missed Ganga and suffered from a lonely heart.
