MAHABHARATA
We had a quick quiz on Mahabharata so the kids keep up with the story and do not forget the characters. We also wrapped up the Aranya Parva and will be moving to the VirAta Parva next week.
- During their stay in exile, Sage Durvasa visits the Pandavas and there will not be any food left over to serve him, Draupadi prays to Lord Krishna who appears and eats the single morsel of food left over in the AkshayaPatra and the sage and his troop feels full as though they had a full meal.
- Arjuna acquires all the necessary divine weapons for the war from Lord Indra and Lord Shiva
- Bhima kills Jarasandha with the assistance of Lord Krishna.
- Lord Krishna comes to the rescue of Pandavas from time to time and guides them.
- Yudhishtira brings his dead brothers back to life by answering the questions of a Yaksha, who kills them for not answering and drinking the water from his lake.
