LIFE LESSONS OF MAHABHARATA

The Mahabharata epic story was written many years ago. Despite this, the legendary story continues to dominate all forms of art and enthral us even today.

The epic's enduring popularity is due to more than just its literary majesty. The stories that practically every one of us has grown up with are still relevant today. The epic's rich philosophical principles have a lot to instruct us about the sculpture of vitality.

So, here are seven key lessons we may take away from the Mahabharata.

1.A desire for vengeance can only end in disaster.

The Mahabharata may be about a duty battle. However, we can't deny that revenge was a big factor in the destruction of everything. Because of their irrational ambition to destroy the Pandavas, the Kauravas lost everything. Draupadi's five sons and Abhimanyu were among the children who perished in the fight.

2. Stand firm in what you believe in, even if you have to fight for it.

At first, Arjuna was hesitant to fight his relatives. Krishna, on the other hand, reminded him that one must follow Dharma (duty), even if it means going against one's own family. As a result, Arjuna had carried out his role as a great Dharma warrior.

3. Friendship is an everlasting tie.

Krishna and Arjuna's friendship is something we all aspire to be like. Perhaps the Pandavas were able to survive the conflict because of Krishna's unwavering support and inspiration. Nobody can forget the famous dice scene in which Krishna came to Draupadi's rescue while her husbands gambled themselves into oblivion. Karna and Duryodhan's friendship, on the other hand, is equally optimistic.

4. It's risky to be half-informed.

Abhimanyu, Arjuna's son, demonstrates how half-knowledge may be harmful. Abhimanyu understood how to get into the Chakravyuh, but he did not indicate how to circulate out.

5. Don't let greed get the best of you.

What did Yudhishthir gain from his avarice? He, on the other hand, lost everything he owned, from his kingdom to his fortune. And to gamble away a lady in the sake of arrogance! How can that possibly be justified?

6. Existing as a woman does not imply that you are a lesser person.

Yes, Draupadi was duped into marrying five men, and the Kauravas humiliated her for her husband's fault. She had been abused, yet she was brave enough to stand up for herself. She guaranteed that she received justice by threatening to wash her hair in the blood of Duryodhana and Dushanana—possibly another factor in the battle. Draupadi will not be a docile woman; she will be fiery and fight for herself.
