Episode 13 of the conversations between Yogita Pant and Anil Chawla discusses the birth of the eldest son and second son of Maharaj Paandu – Yudhishthir and Bheem. The chapter begins with describing Kaaneen son – someone born to one’s wife before marriage is Kaaneen son of the husband. Karn was Kaaneen son of Paandu. Having been barred from having sexual relations due to the curse of Muni Kindam, Paandu convinced his wife Kuntee to bear child with the help of some other man. Kuntee told her husband about Brahmin Durwaasaa who had taught her a special mantra by which she could call any devata who would come and bless her with a son. Paandu was extremely pleased. He asked her to call Dharmdev to get a son who will always follow dharm. Kunteed obeyed and thus Yudhishthir was born. For the next son, Paandu chose all-powerful Pawandev. This led to the birth of Bheem. When Bheem was only ten days old he fell on a large rock causing the rock to break into pieces. (Mahabharat/Aadiparv/Sambhav Parv/Chapter 119, 121 and 122).

Mahabharat 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. By learning and understanding this story and by adopting the learnings into our behaviour we can make our life happy and rich.  *****  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/show/77iwIF32X1ATf6Uw7Trej4?si=c204e7c9ca3844fc YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@valmikiramayan    TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@samarth_bharat Please donate by paying to 9406528010@paytm using any UPI app in India. *****  Anil Chawla is an engineer - B.Tech.
