Arjuna statue in Bali
Part A
Vyasa and Ganesha
-The first interesting part of this story was that they had
a crystal car that allowed them to travel through the sky. Also it’s kind of funny they related her by
her “fishy smell”
King Shantanu and
Ganga
I can’t believe that she casted her son to the Ganges,
usually it is the men who send away their sons.
King Shantanu and
Satyavati
-The old king finds beauty in this woman even though she had
a fishy smell, he even said it was perfume like.
Devavrata’s Vow
-If his daughter is not queen then he will never accept the
throne, nor marry, or be a father to children.
Bhishma at the
Swayamvara
-A little fun competing happening between
three daughters of the king, and the women must battle.
Amba
-The oldest daughter has her own story and does not want to
become a wife with her two other sisters.
Her goal is to slay Bhishma.
Dhritarashtra and
Pandu
-Because the son was pale they named him after a word that
meant “pale one”, it's just interesting to remember that there was a time that
people made names up for the way one looked.
Kunti and Her Son
-I like the way they describe the new born child, also I feel like I know this story of a baby in the basket.

Pandu and His Wives
-I find it interesting that the King got scared, and out of
his frear he took vows of celibacy and gave all of his possessions away. Just goes to show that he is all about
fairness in a way.
The Sons of Pandu
-King Pandu dies, but is it because of his own doom? Then all the wives were fighting who would
get burned with his wife.. they were literally fighting over who would die with
the king
Gandhari and
Dhritarashtra
-A fight breaks out between Pandavas and Kauravas. Also interesting that they are worried about
making sure someone or something will always be casted off.
Pandavas and Kauravas
-They end up living together, which I think is cool that he
raises his sons but also the other five boys.
Bhima and the Nagas
-So he was poisoned and then snakes that had the same poison
only woke him up. People thought he was
dead but really he was just in a deep sleep.
Drona
-I really like the character Drona who is like a teacher,
but I like that he had had a hard background story and maybe this is why he
becomes such a good teacher.
Drona Trains the
Princes
-See this just
proves that Drona is a great teacher because, as he teaches the sons they
learned wisdom and in goodness, and were great warriors.
Ekalavya
-It was interesting that Drona wanted the thumb, did he do
it to teach a lesson?
The Contest
-Pandavas and Kauravas take what they have learned about
being warriors and compete in a tournament.
The Arrival of Karna
-Arjuna being the toughest of all the brothers it seems that
he is going to be the winner of the contest.
But just as we think he is going to win Karna arrives.
Drona’s Revenge
-Drona knows what he
wants and that is that the boys should owe him for all of his teaches by
bringing revenge against King Durpada
Duryodhana’s Jealousy
-Duryodhana becomes so jealous they he decides to get rid of
the Pandavas and Kunti.
