Episode 7 of the conversations between Yogita Pant and Anil Chawla discusses the events after Gangaaputr Bheeshm kidnapped three daughters of King of Kaashi and brought them to Hastinapur for King Vichitrveery. As preparations started for marriage of the three girls to Vichitrveery, the eldest daughter Ambaa said that she had already chosen King Shaalv as her husband and her father also knew of it. The matter was put before the learned men who had gathered for the marriage. The learned men decided that it would be proper to send Princess Ambaa to King Shaalv. The other two daughters, Ambikaa and Ambaalikaa, were married to Vichitrveery. After seven years of marriage, Vichitrveery died without an offspring. This was a crisis for the kingdom. Satyavatee asked Bheeshm to take over the kingdom and to give birth to children with the widows of Vichitrveery. Bheeshm refused and suggested that the job be assigned to a learned Brahmin. Satyvatee called Maharshi Ved Vyas who said that the women have to undergo a purification process for one year. Satyvatee was impatient and asked Maharshi to do it immediately.  (Mahabharat/Aadiparv/Sambhav Parv/Chapters 102-104).   Production support: Friends and well-wishers.   *****   महाभारत और वाल्मीकि रामायण हिन्दू धर्म के दो मूलभूत आधार ग्रन्थ हैं। महाभारत ज्ञान का एक ऐसा विशाल भण्डार है जो जीवन के हर पहलू के सम्बन्ध में शिक्षा प्रदान करता है। इसमें जो संघर्ष है वह भिन्न भिन्न जीवन मूल्यों का द्वन्द्व है। जिन मूलभूत मूल्यों एवं आदर्शों के लिए राम ने रावण से युद्ध किया, उन्हीं को स्थापित करने और सशक्त करने के लिए द्वैपायन कृष्ण और वासुदेव कृष्ण भी अथक अनवरत प्रयास करते हैं। उनके इन प्रयासों की कथा ही महाभारत है। इस कथा को जान कर, समझ कर और उससे प्राप्त शिक्षा को आचरण में उतार कर हम अपने जीवन को सुखद एवं समृद्ध बना सकते हैं। समस्त सुधीजनों को अनेकानेक शुभकामनाओं के साथ यह श्रृंखला "महाभारत का महापर्व" विनम्रतापूर्वक समर्पित है।   Mahabharat and Valmiki Ramayan are the two fundamental foundation epics of Hinduism. Mahabharat is a vast storehouse of knowledge that teaches one about every aspect of life. The struggle in the epic is the clash between two different life-values. Dwaipaayan Krishn and Vaasudev Krishn put in relentless and continuous efforts to establish and strengthen the same fundamental values and ideals for which Ram fought the war against Raavan. Mahabharat is the story of their efforts. By learning and understanding this story and by adopting the learnings into our behaviour we can make our life happy and rich. This series “Mahabharat Ka Mahaparv” is most humbly submitted with the best of regards and wishes to those who value knowledge.   *****   Website - http://samarthbharat.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/hinduthinker Twitter - https://twitter.com/AnilThinker Hubhopper - https://hubhopper.com/podcast/valmiki-ramayan-ke-ram/339465 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/samarth.bharat/ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/
