Hey! Does your next project involve the solar dynasty (the ramayana epic)?
If no, could you please do a video on that?
You should do the Afghan Royal family in your next video!

That's what I am telling to everyone.
But no one listens.
Mahabharat and Ramayan are History books written in the form of Epic.
But its actual history happens 7000 years ago.
The excavation and research in the Indus Valley Civilisation matches the events happened in Mahabharat.
Excavation tells that the soil of Indus Valley has exposure to radiation and mahabharat also mentions nuclear weapons.
Mahabharat mentions - all women had miscarriages after that weapon was used ( just like a nuclear radiation)
The war was so deadly that humanity lost ancient knowledge and tech.
This story is popular to in Indonesia, like it's become part of our culture. Until I knew that this story is from India.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
And that story from India came from Aryan from Afghanistan/Iran.
Indians merely adopted them.
Hinduism spread there around the year 4.

Who r u to call them bullshīt and fake historians? Just because it doesn't suit your taste doesn't mean it's fake.
From others' point of view, your version is considered bullshīt and fake.
The aryan is not just a theory. It agrees with the culture, geography and historical events of that time.
You should be grateful that aryan, mughal, muslims etc had given so much culture, language and civilization to India
@@rrsharizam I'm calling fake Historian , who are fake indeed. That whole Aryan theory is bogus & fake.
You don't liked my comment that's your wish, even i don't care, but the truth won't change.
Oh I see, Thats why my Hindu friends say "don't start Mahabharata here bro" when I use to quarrels with him. Now I get it
😂😂😂 , in Mahabharata a big war happened
😂😂
😂😂. Where are you from?
🤣🤣🤣
Is that ser davos from your profile 😂
Philosophical side of Mahabharat is that
Five Pandav are your five senses.
Karna is your Ego.
Kauravas are your 100 of Vices and desires.
Bhisma is your blind intelligence.
Krishna is soul consciousness that guides your senses.
So Mahabharat is a war within you to become a better person. Bhagvad Geeta provides the important philosophical advice innuciated by Krishna or soul consciousness.
Shiva is the ultimate cosmic consciousness which one reach after Moksha.
I hope you will pin it.

Mahabharata is one of my favourite ancient stories. I'm mostly familiar with the Indonesian version of the story, however, which while mostly follows the plot of the original version alters some details and adds some subplots. Excellent video!

Yes,dusshala is female sibling of kauravas

Thanks for the very good video and the Chart and the knowledge you shared, some enhancements might be appropriate few importance to cover… 1. “Dushyala" is the only sister of the Kauravas. 2. “Jujutsu”, Gandhari’s step son (actual mother Sugadha, who was a maid of Gandhari); he was the only Kauravas, who joined Pandavas in the war and survived. It is sometimes heard that Jujutsu is the primitive name of a kind of marshal-art was first mastered by him and thus the name came up.
Yuyutsu was the real name..
It's called Yuyutsu in Sanskrit so...
Jujutsu sounds like a Bengali pronunciation.
I started reading an abridged version of the Mahabharata. It is very impressive. Almost every passage has an "aha" moment which makes you stop and think. It also generates a great deal of inner conflict has it is hard to know what is "good" and what is "evil", as events evolve, everything becomes intermeshed and you realize it is impossible to judge anything in such a simple way. All you know at the end is - "The workings of Karma and Dharma is profound and subtle." and weather you chose the "action of the men" or "action of the gods" i.e. inaction and surrender results to the higher powers, you cannot ultimately have any regrets, because it is all too complex of a web for any moral to have known what to do anyways.
I watched Ramayana , Mahabharata and utter Ramayana when I was ten. Still remains fresh in my mind.
@Rage of Zeus yeah it's available in hindi in youtube too with English subtitles (I recommend Ramsagar Ramayan , as others just focus on drama rather than story)
Huge respect sir!!🙏!!
@NOYBRamayan and Uttar Ramayan is available in hindi marathi Bangla tamil Telugu on CZcams and Mahabharata in Hindi and Telugu on CZcams and I mean the old series of 80s
Omg😂😂
I myself being a Hindu dint watch Uttar Ramayana properly 😂😂😂
But what about you ancestors history all ways blackpeople love other people things more their own
Mahabharata is a huge part of Indonesian culture. I'm currently majoring in Indonesian Literature and working on my analysation of Indian epics including Mahabharata. Btw I was today years old when I found out the island Java is mentioned in Ramayana. Thanks for the video! It helps me a lot
Same in Thailand, Burma, Cambodia and Laos. Long before the Chinese influences came, that area was influenced solely by India with the exception of a few places (like the area of what is now Northern Vietnam - completely different culture than their neighbors in Cambodia, Thailand, Lao, Burma)
Yes also in Indian version of Ramayan the mention of Java Indonesia Jakarta Sumitra
Majority people's ancestors are hind.
You all should learn more about Karna. There are many things which are untold in summary Mahabharata. There are TV series called "Surya putr Karna" on CZcams.
Do you know Druyodhana's mother Gandhari was actually the princess of Gandhar (Today named as Kandahar in Afghanistan). Sakuni was the brother of Gandheri.
Excellently told @UsefulCharts.... Just one correction, Ved-Vyas did not sleep with Queens to get them pregnant. He had also taken a wow of celibacy like Bhishma. He performed incantations (mantras) and listening to this both queens got pregnant. During this process the servant of these queens also heard it being in same room and she also got pregnant (her baby is half brother you referred to as Vidhur)
What nonsense is this
@@Pururavas It's an epic bro. You wanna see all the nonsense in the Illiad?
what this fellow wrote is nonsense, it is not there in the mahabharata @@rudranil06
but I thought he really slept with them? ambika became white with disgust so pandu was born with "pand" or vitiligo in English, And ambalika closed her eyes during intercourse so dhritarashtra was born blind is what I've read.
@@thafheem4637 That's what I read too. It was through a practise called Niyog where childless women could get impregnated by a "surrogate father".
Vyasa Muni was in his yogic form, all disheveled and unkempt as you would being in extreme tapasya for years together.
Ambika got scared and her blood drained so pandu was anemic, Ambalika closed her eyes, so Dhritarashtra was blind and a dasi entered the room to clean the room or whatever and got impregnated too but she was stone cold brave and fearless hence Vidur was smart as hell!
6:04 correction: Vyasa was a sage, he's not any relative of Satyavati but there was a special position in empires for Sages to guide the King and his family and Maharishi (a designation) Vyasa was doing same for Hastinapur ( kuru capital). he never slept with widows actually Vichitrvirya was the biological father of all 3
2nd Correction: Kunti got a boon so that she can ask any god to be the father of her son, like God was the father of Jesus but still Mary was virgin
3rd Correction: Gandhari was unable to gibe birth to any child from a long time (that's why Pandu was younger brother of dhritrashra but his eldest son was also elder than Duryodhana) so a sage ( I'm unable to remember the name) gave her the boon so she can have 100 sons
Kurukshetra wasn't a city*
everyone should read the summary of Mahabhart, it have the solutions of most of our problems if we understand the teachings.
Thanks a lot
The 1st correction is invalid, Satyavati was the mother of Vyasa when she was called Matsyagandha.
Lol satyabati is the mother of vyasa
Vyasa was born to Satyavathi and sage Parasara in an Island. His original name was Krishna Dwaipayana (Krishna means Black, Dwaipayana means born on Island). Sage Parasara who fell in love with Satyavathi the foster daughter of Fisher man ruler marries her and gives her a boon that she would be still a virgin and on her request gives a boon that the son she got through him will be the most respected of all sages and becomes famous eventually. At the request of his mother Satyavathi , Vyasa intercourses with Ambika and Ambalika widows just to keep the clan of Kuru continue.
They should do this into a Netflix series. I havent heard the stories of the Mahabharata before, would make a good programme.
I 100% agree!
100% agree. It would be GREAT! I think would have to animated too because so many crazy things happen.
There are loads of Indian tv series based on it. But well they are Indian movie style, so for westerns doesn't look that great. If Netflix would do the justice to Vedic epic stories, that would be great.
@@oleksandrbyelyenko435 I was thinking like a game of thrones style series that went huge. It would reach far and wide if done properly and the great thing about it is the script is already written. A few tweaks here and there that dont vere too far away from the main plot points and we have a winner.
@@ryanedwards805 sure
I'm from Karnal (Haryana, India), a city named after Karna.
And Kurukshetra is at the distance of just 29 km from Karnal.
Actually Haryana got its name from Mahabharata ( Hari ka aagman/abode of God).
Gurugram is the place where Guru Dronacharya had taught Kauravas and Pandavas.
Panipat,Sonipat were one of the five villages demanded by Pandavas.
Jind is the place where Pandavas had lived their "vanvas"(exile)
And Kaithal was established by Yudhisthira.

Was looking for this kind of video from long time , kudos to this guy who made the video and also narrated the same.
Mahabharata is not all about war, it is also about what one should do and what one should not do. Each character is an example of that. (There are 100s of characters in epic, so I am going to cover some only. If you want to take a look, then check it on eng Wikipedia.)
Shantanu was a very good ruler, who believed in pure love and didn't care about caste: He didn't know about his first wife when they married. He even didn't care that Satyavati was a fisherwoman. The one flaw about him was his impatience which broke his married life with Ganga.
Satyavati, the fisherwoman, is also referred to as the matriarch of the Mahabharata war. Her role in the epic was little but significant. Her blind ambitions and insecurity, which she thought was good, were some factors of the downfall of the dynasty. The story of Satyavati states that we should think twice before doing something.
Bhishma was very strong and capable, but his too much selflessness made him weak. If he had stopped the events which led to rivalry, the war could have been avoided. His steady oath is criticized. The Mahabharata states that we should change ourselves as per necessity.
Dhritarashtra was physically strong but mentally weak, who was easily manipulated by his brother in law, Shakuni. He knew that his sons were wrong, but didn't stop them because of his fatherly love. He was also very insecure.
Gandhari is known for her devotion towards her husband. Her major flaw was not to stop her sons from doing evil. Her story suggests that parents should develop their child's character from their children or it would be too late.
Pandu died because of his carelessness. He knew the consequences of his act but could not resist his lust and tried to make love with Madri, who also died with him. Incident is mainly about self-control and not being tempted by temporary things (lust for Pandu), which may give pleasure for a while but cause problems in future
Kunti is one of the three female protagonists in the epic (the remaining are Draupadi and Gandhari). She is known for her motherly affection but her secret past (Karna's birth) ruined her happiness. Kunti had the power to be blessed with a son whenever she wanted. Out of curiosity, she used her powers and asked Surya for a son. When Surya gifted her a child, she realised what she had done and had to abandon the kid. Although she saved herself from society but was not able to save herself from the sorrow of her act. The story Kunti tells us to make our decisions with wisdom, not curiosity. Her story also tells that we can't save ourselves from the guilt of our sins.
Karna is the heroic villain of the Mahabharata. He was very generous, skilled and wanted respect. He knew what was right and what was wrong, still preferred to support the wrong side. Karna was born when an adolescent Kunti was blessed with a son from Surya, the sun. Kunti abandoned him with a heavy heart as she feared the backlash from society. He was adopted by Bhishma's charioteer. Later he befriended Duryodhana and was gifted a kingdom from him. Karna, to keep his friendship, did a lot of bad things. The story of Karna suggests that we should stay away from evil friends, even if they have helped a lot.
Draupadi, the tragic heroine, was badly treated by Duryodhana and many others. Her marriage with 5 Pandavas was the result of her greed and impatience in her previous birth. When God asked her what she wanted in her next birth, she asked a husband five times in haste. She wanted her husband to be righteous (Yudhishthira), strongest (Bhima), skilled in every field (Arjuna), the most handsome (Nakula) and the wisest (Sahadeva). God then replied that it is impossible to get all qualities in one single man before granting her the boon. After the war, no one was happy, as everybody lost their loved ones. Draupadi lost all her relatives except for her husbands.
Yudhishthira, the emperor, suffered a lot because of his gambling addiction. Because of him, his brothers had to face a lot of situations. His story suggests that our bad habits not only cause harm to us but also our loved ones.
Shakuni, the plotter in the epic, wanted revenge on Hastinapura. The reason was his sister's wedding with a blind man, which he taught to be the humiliation of his family. His revenge ruined his life too.
Duryodhana, the antagonist filled with greed and pride, never liked his cousins and even tried to kill them on many occasions. His ego was the reason for his downfall. But he is appreciated for his fair and equal treatment with everybody.
Pls hit a like if you like this.
You should explain a bit more about Karna....

@@nateshdruthi637 already mentioned
Great 👍
I learned a lot. Thanks!
What about Arjun?
In Java, Indonesia there is also the Mahabarata story, where the story is adopted from the original Mahabarata story in India, but there are some parts of the story that are changed,For example, the Indian version of the Mahabharata Gandari covers his eyes with a cloth to honor her blind husband, Meanwhile, the Javanese version of Gandari looks at the sun so that her eyes will become blind.
That's a new knowledge . Thanks
And there is some little different too. The Javanese version of Pandawa (Pandavas) are Puntadewa (Yudhistira), Werkudara (Bima), Janaka( Arjuna), Nakula, and Sadewa. Yeah, just a little different.

I started reading Bhagavad Gita and this video really helped in summarizing family tree.
When Robert Oppenheimer( Inventor of Atomic bomb) witnessed the first detonation of a nuclear weapon on July 16, 1945, a piece of Hindu scripture ran through the mind of Robert Oppenheimer and he quote : “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds”. It is, perhaps, the most well-known line from the Mahabharata Bhagavad-Gita

5000 year old epic still remain no wonder how.
How much of the mahabharata is actually true
@@TheZainshah0007 I really don't know much what I know is all the location which describes in Mahabharata are still their in India with the same name and I think the story is very much real because there are so many proof and remains of ancient time. I think the supernatural powers are not true but the basic story is somehow true.
Sourabh Tanwar thank you for your time
@@TheZainshah0007 no one at that time is going to write a fiction this big. Nobody is going to pay them royalty for number of books sold! Also Hinduism even now is not an institutionalised religion like Islam or Christianity. There is no purpose for sustaining belief with stories, they don't even care about number of followers or religious expansion or using it as a political tool to raise army , its more about core ideologies and values
Also it was initially transferred from generation to generation in oral form .
Bible and quran were also in oral form at the beginning. But this is very very huge as compared to those ( even Big vedas) .
Bigger and more complex, names, war strategies, family trees, politics , syncing with Krishna's life and bhagavat, its too much effort actually
Am pretty sure no one will bother to take all these effort generation after generation, to sustain and help survive a fiction. Its more about dharma and complexities of finding what is good and what is bad in relation to our dharma ( as humans evolved, and its third yuga) , as compared to pretty straightforward stuffs with less complexities in previous yuga, ie time of Ramayana. Also magical elements and divine intervention is very less. If it was not real they could have made it a lot more fancier. Hindus are highly creative people, that's one of the reason turning water into wine or walking on water kind of stuff didn't really create any interest among them, even after 200 years of British attempts
Also Places and all mentioned in it are also pretty accurate
@@TheZainshah0007 Mahabharata was first known as JAYA ( meaning victory) it was a 1000 Stanza long and developed into modern day Mahabharata of 100,000 Stanza so the basic conflict of the Kauravas and Pandavas would be real but we don't know what all got added
Much appreciated for making this video 🙏

@@aidanjanemcintosh6919 super Aidan. 👌 this is how the story is meant to be consumed!!!! Don't listen to people influencing you of one character being better over the other.
The very premise of the story is to encompass broad variety of human behavior and belief system that the reader can relate to. You found it in dresthadyumena. Someone else will find it in arjuna someone else will find it in nakula or sahadeva.
It's the simpleton who finds comfort or relaxation to Krishna a righteous guide, but it takes a learned personality to relate to characters that fit their lives or state of being.

@@Samurai016 who told the earth is flat btw.? 🤔😂
Great video, let me add some information :
1. Karna is the eldest of pandavas, but sided with kuravas.
2. Kuruksethra (Kuru Setra) could translate into the field of Kuru, with Kuru (could) refer to Kuravas. And don't expect small field, it is huge if not humongous.
3. The "contestant" of Mahabarata War not only from 2 faction (Kuravas or Pandavas) but also from kingdom who sided/affiliate with them.
4. There are several TV series from India tell the story about Mahabarata, the best depiction is from 70 or 80, as they try to strictly follow the story.
5. The characther involved in the war, the could be reincarnated from previous live, demigod, receive blessed from gods in the form of weaponry.
Are you indian / hindu
And if you are not
I have some advice for you brother..
1.
Do not add 'a' at the last of noun.
Its not pronounced, its half pronounced, english dont have letter for that sound.
Most of places 'a' is half pronounced.
2. Sanskrit has wide vocabulary but translators didn't understood exact meaning, and don't have any word in english.
Example - Demi God.
As far I know demi gods means Half God, and We do not have any concept of Half God.
We have Different terms relating to Gods, Divine beings and Higher Beings like
Param ishwar
Ishwar
Param atma
Atma
Dev ( male)
Devi ( female)
Bhagwan
Etc.
All these sanskrit words has different meanings
And english has only God.
I hope you understood, brother.
Thank you for your correction@@vedantartstudio1094
The author (Vyasa) managed to create/compose such an epic backstory about a battle between 2 houses outside a city.
Imagine if he narrated a backstory about the "Battle of the Nations" or the entire Napoleonic Wars. Napoleon Bonaparte would probably portrayed as the avatar of Jesus and his brothers (or marshals) were the angels. Or perhaps since he ultimately lose the war, he was the anti-Christ, and the protagonists were the Russians, the Prussians, and the Austrians.
@@ihl0700677525 It was not a battle of only two houses. In this war, almost every major house of India participated. The epic also mentions about kings of other countries like'Chin' (Tibet) and 'Maha Chin' (China), 'Parsik' (Persia) sending their armies.
@@vedantartstudio1094 Wrong. The 'a' or अकार at the end of words is skipped only in the modern languages of Northern India. In Sanskrit however, the final 'a' is pronounced. So while the word देव may be pronounced as 'dev' in Hindi, it is pronouced as 'deva' in Sanskrit, always, no exceptions. Therefore, when writing Sanskrit words in the Roman script the final 'a' should be written. A way to distinguish between अकार and आकार is to use 'ā' for the later.

He is a religious studies scholar and is highly qualified. The fact that he provides these brief summaries for free online to all is something which people should be more grateful for. They are brief summaries, not university courses that cover the topics in full detail. Their value is as introductions to the topic - or as a review for those who are already acquainted with the subject.
I can't believe the amount of nonsense comments he is receiving under his videos on Indian topics. (not your comment, but MANY others.). I would have expected this kind of online rudeness from religious fanatics and nationalists more on the Islam, Christianity and Judaism videos. But on Hindu topics?!
Something strange seems to be going on in Indian online culture these past few years. I've seen similar nonsense on all kinds of channels that touch on Indian history or current events. It is very concerning.
Hello brother. Thanks a lot for this very useful chart & the way you explained it was awesome & enjoyable! You made it pretty simple. You skipped mentioning Draupadi though, she's there in the chart. She's a very iconic character from the Epic. Also Shri Krishna's family, Radharani, Rukmini, Eklavya, Ghatotkach etc can also be added to make it more elaborate just in case you want it.
Being a non-indian person you summarised it very well and extremely correct... Hat's off to you 🙏 Jai Shree Krishna 🙏☺️

Fun Fact: a group that participated in the Kurukshetra war still exists as of today. The Kambojas a tribe that participated in the battle of Kurukshetra can be found in Punjab. These days their called Kamboj, but their population is dwindling.
Faris Fasil That doesn’t make sense.
Tell me, do the Kambojas have any relation with the Cambodians? Because Cambodia, one other names that they associate with is Kampuchea or Kambuja.
arv er I don’t think Kamboja is a city, but rather a tribe of people that lived in Central Asia/Afghanistan. I’m apart of the Kamboj caste and half Khatri we are descendants of Kamboja and other Vedic Aryan groups.
Ong's Jukebox Channel Well, some people say. While others say no. Kamboja predates Kampuchea. Kambojas were light skinned, blue/green, brown hair people. They resemble Pamiris, Kashmiris, Nuristani, Pashtuns and Tajiks.

When I was a kid my grandmother used to tell me bedtime stories from the Mahabharata. My Grandfather had all those books and read to her as she couldn't really read. I really miss her and those stories.
Mahabaratham and Ramayanam epics have a lot of interwoven stories around each character. My wife tells these stories to our wide-eyed kids who question a lot learning the hood with the bad/evil. This culture and tradition continues for yugas. Every long living civilization has story telling, which I hope wouldn't stop in this modern age. Your video is a great example. Thank you!

Sadly in india, our history books are writien by propagandists who are left leaning and Islamists. So there is negligible attention given to these original histories and more importance is given to the history of "Mughals". As an indian student, We would love to study these historical events in school.
Yeah we learn these mythological stories like odessy
@@user-ll6pr5cw1f ummm, I would not call it "mythological stories". It is rather a "historical event", and as said in the video, if you don't believe every small event
(for example, the saint and her wife turned into deer and were involved in sexual intercourse and Arjun shot them thinking they are actually deer.)
to be true but you believe this event occurred than you can also call it a "legend".
Kalash Sharma if Mahabharata is Indian history, odessey is Greek history. Arabian nights is Arab history, Shahnameh is Persian history. You can’t pick and choose, you go the whole hog.
Always wanted to read the Mahabharata... but seeing as I can't even get through the entire Iliad, I'll just have to use this video as proxy!
You should definitely read it! It's quite interesting. I read it as explained by C. Rajagopalachari when I was 14. Loved it. Stories like these should definitely be read.😄
I read it, I think the biggest problem is not its length but the mindset of the story and characters is completely alien to us to the point that our common sense can't be applied. There are countless of "WTF Man!!??" moments trough out the entire epic.
@@deregapreyahvattaffdiff That might be because while the Ramayan is a more "what the right thing to do" is kinda thing, The Mahabharat is more of a 'WHAT U SHOULDN'T DO AT ANY COST".

Thank you for giving the excellent narration of Mahabharata family tree
The tree is ok. The dates are messed up. The great war was fought in 5561 BCE (7081 years ago). Ramayana and Mahabharata are epics (Itihasa - History with some colour added to make it interesting to read).
There were no Aryans before. He says the story was created in 1000 BCE and written in 500 CE. In Mahabharata Hunas were mentioned who invaded India only in 5th century CE.
No it actually happened
@Dhirendra singh tomar it's proven in every aspect. The most strong evidence is DNA.
@Dhirendra singh tomar what gibberish you have written?
@Dhirendra singh tomar Yes that's true. 🙏🙏🙏
If Aryans were basically so intelligent and advanced, then
------what made them to move from their native place,
------why those places remained nomadic from where the left.
-----is there any single similarities found between migrant and native Aryans.

In the battle, Krishna is Arjuna's charioteer.
.
Arjuna Hits karna's chariot with an arrow, it moves 10 yards back.
Karna Hits Arjuna's chariot, it moves 2 yards back.
Again Arjuna hits karna's Chariot and it moves 10 yards back.
Again Karna hits Arjuna's chariot and it moves 2 yards back.
And Each time Krishna praises KARNA.
Arjuna is shocked, says ''When I hit him his chariot moves 10 yards back but when he hits me, my chariot moves only 2 yards back. So why do you praise him each time?"
.
Krishna, "O dear great son of Kunti, I am sitting on your chariot with the weight of the entire universe, the mighty Hanuman is sitting on your chariot and still Karna is able to push it 2 yards back"

The non-Hindus have degraded the meaning of 'avatara' to low standards, but it's quite satisfying to see as a Hindu that another non-Hindu explain the real meaning of the word - God incarnated as human or animal.
Yep sorta
@Earth Hub To rid earth of excessive evil from time to time and restore balance. Different forms are to represent different mystics or to suit the way in which they do it. Lord Vishnu, the Preserver, continues to rid evil from earth and universe UNTIL the end of the fourth(current) epoch, at the end of which Lord Shiva performs an ANGRY DANCE with his 3rd eye open to destroy the universe, and then Lord Bramha the Creator resets the universe. Eternal cycle.
@Earth Hub All of evil doesn't exist at same time in same places- an evil person wasn't born so, he became one.
@Earth Hub
Hinduism doesn't have a concept of a single figure like Devil/Satan responsible for all the evil in the world. Hindu doctrine states that evil is influenced by 6 vices - Lust, Anger, Greed, Delusion, Arrogance & Jealousy. Nobody except the Supreme One(who can be visualised as the deities Vishnu, Shiva, Durga & Ganesha) are free from these vices, not even the deities like Indra(King of the Heavenly Realm & Devas other those mentioned above). Asuras obtain the power to subdue the Devas(responsible for the welfare of the world) by propitiating the Supreme One through severe austerities & when they misuse their powers, the Supreme One assumes form to subdue them. This cyclic phenomenon of Devas & Asuras wining & losing alternately is governed by the rules of Karma i.e the Devas & Asuras are defeated due to their bad karma performed under influence of the 6 vices & are victorious by propitiating the Supreme One through subduing those vices. And sometimes the Asuras obtain immunity from death at the hands of non-animals, so God outfoxes them by assuming the form of animals. For the example the Asura Hiranyakshashipu was immune to death from the hands of men, women & animals so Bhagavan Vishnu kills him assuming the form of Narasimha, a lion-human hybrid.
@Earth Hub to let the cycle of karma be

Bro do you not know what the mean of aryan...
@tofrie bro I think India's oldest name is ariyabarat ....so old India's wife call their husbands Ariya.... ..it is the British who mislead the word .... We also know this facts form mahabharat , Ramayana, manushmiti.......it is also not told as that ariyan and Indian are blood related... because blood can be mix after many year later...... .in my knowledge ... They are both seperate things...... Also ancient India is call ariyabarat.....their are many things that history is unsolve...one of which is why indus velly was emptyed no people live their.......why ariyans do not destroyed indus civilization monoments.... Why indus velly is so intact ...not a ancient battle remain not found...... When two society meet their always a clash....
@tofrie Aryan and dravidian spirit is just plain bs
Just one more thing, the pandavas actually had a bunch of kids, many of which (including all of Draupadi's kids and a few others) died in the battle. The ones that did not participate in the war were the only ones that lived.
I grew up reading, listening, watching movies on Mahabharata. The family tree is very complex to remember. Thanks to your your table that the family tree part has become very clear now...

I am so impressed and grateful that you said Mahabharata and Ramayana are legends and not a mythology. You can still find the places mentioned in both the books like kurukshetra, Pataliputra ( Patna) and many more in Indian subcontinent.
Almost all places...we have parijaat tree planter by arjuna in district of up and hastinapur and qandhar and mathura...every place exists
i would say The Bhagavad Gita is one of my favourite epics

You mean Mahabharata?
Except for the pronunciations, you did a great job in explaining the family tree. 🙌
Offended people who are commenting here should understand that he called it a legend, which is a mix of history and mythology. That was how real events were told or written during those times and these were later passed down. He never told that these never happened. And a story doesn't mean fictional as real incidents are also told as stories. Real incidents can also be told as epics or poems. Peace🙏
You're kidding me most of the people talking about pronunciation are appreciating him, did you even read the comments?😂

Yes he told about this and also told that so far any movies about Mahabharata will washed out and real clean great Mahabharat will know the world soon...and he told 10 years required for this epic film
There was a king named Shantanu, who ruled the kingdom of Hastinapur in ancient India. He married Ganga and they had a son, Devvrata. Ganga was actually a Goddess doing penance.She left as soon as Devvrata was born.
Devvrata was a prodigious child, showing great skills in archery. Devvrata was announced the heir of the throne.
Shantanu gets attracted to another lady named Satyavati and proposes her. She accepts, but her father puts a condition that he would allow only if her yet to born son would be the heir of the throne. Shantanu drops the idea.
Devvrata renounces his claim to the throne and also takes oath to live a life of celibacy and protect the throne till he is alive. His sacrifice was so great that people started calling him Bhishma.
Shantanu and Satyavati have two sons. First son dies of illness and second son “ Vichitryavirya” becomes the king.
Bhishma wins three princess for king Vichitryavirya viz Amba, Ambika, Ambalika. Ambika and Ambalika accepts the king, but Amba loved Shalva. She blames Bhishma for her misfortune and vows to kill Bhishma.
Vichitryavirya dies without a child. Satyavati calls Vyasa to impregnate the Queens. (Vyasa is Satyavati’s Son before marriage). Ambika gives birth to Dhritarashtra and Ambalika to Pandu.
Dhritarashtra though being the elder son is not made the king as he is Blind. Pandu is made the king. (This is where the seed for the war was sowed). Dhritarashtra forever remains insecure of his blindness.
Dhritarashtra marries Gandhari and they have 101 kids. 1 daughter and 100 sons, eldest among them is Duryodhan.
Pandu marries Kunti and Madri. Kunti has 3 sons viz Yudhisthir, Bhima, Arjuna. Madri has 2 sons Nakula and Sahadeva. Though Dhitarashtra gets married first , Pandu gets the first child, Yudhisthir .
Kunti also has one son outside the marriage named Karna. whom she abandons. Karna is raised by a person who works as a charioteer for the king.
Pandu dies. Dhritarashtra is made the king. Now, his sole aim is to see that his son Duryodhan becomes the king.
Yudhisthir grows into a man of wisdom while Duryodhan fails to impress Bhishma and other courtiers. Yudhisthir also being elder to Duryodhan turns out to be the obvious choice for the heir. Dhritarashtra reluctantly announces Yudhisthir as the heir.
Duryodhan has a cunning uncle Shakuni who plans to kill Yudhisthir and his brothers in a wax house. They are saved by timely intervention of Vidhur, their minister and uncle.
Everyone thinks Pandavas are dead , hence Duryodhan is announced as the heir of the throne. In the meantime, Arjuna wins Draupadi in an archery contest. But, Draupadi was finally married to all 5 brothers.
The 5 brothers(Pandavas) return Hastinapur with draupadi. Bhishma suggests division of the kingdom to keep both parties happy. Pandavas receive the western part of the Kingdom(Indraprastha) and Duryodhan gets Hastinapur.
Avaricious Duryodhan unhappy with his half decides to annex Indraprastha by hook or crook. His uncle Shakuni, a great gambler, invites the Pandu brothers for a gambling contest.
Yudhisthir loses everything including himself , his wife and his brothers. Duryodhan orders his brother Dushassana to disrobe Draupadi in front of the court. Bhima vows to slay Duryodhan for the insult.
Pandavas are sent to 13 years of exile as per the pre-decided rules of gambling.
After 13 years Pandavas ask for their Kingdom, Duryodhan refuses and thus war starts.
Arjuna asks his friend and cousin Krishna to be his Charioteer and Guide. Duryodhan has his friend Karna, one of the finest archers, apart from Bhishma and Dronacharya on his side.
War starts. Arjuna realizes that he has to kill his Grandsire Bhishma and beloved teacher Dronacharya to win the war. He gets overwhelmed and drops his weapon. Krishna then persuades him to fight the war as the war is against injustice, not against Bhishma or Dronacharya.
After a long stalemate, Arjuna attacks Bhishma and injures him out of the war. Dronacharya is then made the chief commander of Kaurava forces.
Arjuna’s son Abhimanyu is killed by deceit, flouting the rules of the war. Arjuna pledges to slay Jaydrath, who was responsible for the death.
Dronacharya is killed by Pandavas, by deceit. Karna is then made the commander in chief.
Dusshasan is killed by Bhima .After a fierce battle, Karna is killed by Arjuna when Karna is defenseless.
Shalya is made the commander in chief. Shakuni is killed by Nakula and Shalya is killed by Yudhishtir
Duryodhan being exhausted leaves the battle and rests near a pond. He is intercepted by Pandavas and Krishna. Bhima and Duryodhan agree to a mace duel.
Duryodhan being agile and and technically superior gets the upper hand, but ultimately is slain by Bhima by an illegitimate move in mace fighting. Duryodhan dies.
Pandavas return to Hastinapur. Dhitrasthra forgives evryone but Bhima, who alone killed all his sons. Yuhisthir is announced as the king. Pandavas meet Bhishma on his deathbeds
You have a great knowledge about Mahabharat 👍🏼
Awesome man!
Google se past karliya
Actually before Ganga marries Shantanu she let's him make a promise that if she marries him, she will drown the first eight children of hers. Because they were 8 wise men from heaven and they came to earth as a punishment. But as she was abt to drown the eight child,Shantanu tells her to spare that child and that child is Bhishma.N the seven children killed went back to heaven and now appear every night as saptarshi.

The original is 10 times bigger at a minimum, sir!! a total of 125,000 couplets... stories within stories.... It is more networked than any, including GOT!!
huge plot points which are missing include the enemity between Dronacharya and Drupad which also fueled the war with the involvement of Draupadi (who bought the end of Duryodhan and Dushhashan), Drishtadyumna (who ended Dronacharya) and Shikhandi (who ended Bhishma) all of whom were children of Drupad.
A very complex network of relationships of the Mahabharat was very nice presented in an elegant and easy to follow method.
It wasn't and easy to follow method. I spent years getting confused who is who and what relationship they have with them. These are the videos that helped through struggles like remembering where everyone belongs where.

Arjuna is not the main protagonist of Mahabharata. He was defeated by many post kurukshetra war and before he had Krishna to protect him. And to kill his main enemy Karna, the factors like Krishna's wisdom of telling truth to Karna about pandavas being his brothers just before the war,Karna's unfair curses,the promise Karna made to his birth mother, Arjuna's father who helped him by taking charity from Karna and finally the breaking of rule of war all had to put together. The beauty of Mahabharata is all characters are heroes in their own way. You can't side with any one.
