Reading Notes: Epified Mahabharata Part B


Mahabharata Episode 9 - Son of the Sun
All the brothers are getting Married. Kunti is lovely. What about her is so special I wonder?
The ability to summon any god could be a cool story. In The Wild West Kunti could summon the sun god. A random child? That is weird. Kunti can not have a son. This is like Moses with the baby in the river!

Mahabharata Episode 10 - Pandu's Curse
Pandu and his wives chilling in the forest. That doesn't sound so bad! One day Pandu accidently killed a couple disguised as animals having relations. Pandu can not make love with his wives. That is sad. The blind brother felt the throne was his.

Mahabharata Episode 11 - Sons of Pandu
So Kunti just pretended that the kids were hers and Pandu as if a curse didn't exist? Arjun and Arjuna? Are they the same? Is Arjuna Pandu's son? Who knows!
Madri and Pandu died. Very sad. The 5 kids of Pandu are the Pandavas.

Mahabharata Episode 12 - One Hundred Sons
This episode is just weird. A dead lump of flesh divided into 100 pieces. Weird.

Mahabharata Episode 13 - Hate and Hurt
Jealousy among cousins. Does not sound out of the realm of possibility in the Wild West. Bheem is the favored, but Duryodhan is evil! Bheem poisoned by food, then was tied up and pushed into the lake.

Mahabharata Episode 14 - The Magic Potion
How can a mortal, half god or not, live under water? Interesting. Serpents in Indian epics still remind me of the devil. The magic potion like the apple from Genesis. It was time for Bheem to grow up.

Mahabharata Episode 15 - Drona

Mahabharata Episode 16 - Drona Trains the Pandavas
Drona training the Pandavas seems special. The development of the brothers grew up. Bheem still so strong. He could overpower the strongest adults. Arjun. I love Arjun. What an archer! Arjun was passionate about archery because he wanted to control the mind.
Mahabharata Episode 17 - Ekalavya's Story
Who else would shut up a dog with arrows without killing it other than Ekalavya? Arjuna felt defeated.  Arjun asked him. Who had he learned archery from? Drona.
