Week 5, Reading Diary A: PDE Mahabharatha

I do not know what to think about the birth story of Vyasa's mother. She was born to a fish and a human! Vyasa is known as Island- Born. King Shantanu saw a beautiful women (Ganga in human form) and right then asked her to marry him because she was so beautiful! Shantanu again fell on love with another maiden based up on her smell and looks, her name was Satyavaty, Vyasa's mother. Son of Ganga is known as Bhrishma. Bhrishma then abducts three princess for his half brother Vichitravirya. Amba killed herself to take up a new body to destroy Bhrishma. Through Vyasa, Vichitavirya's wives bore two children- Dhritarashtra and Pandu. Pandu gained the throne and married Kundi and Madri.Karna is Kundi's son. Drona refused to train Ekalavya, he went on becoming a great warrior. Drona was defnitley not fit to be a teacher. He refused to teach and after someone became skillful and became good, he bought him down by asking for his thumb. He ask the Pandavas and Kavuravas to take revenge on Drupada for him.
