it was the time of the dwapur yuga the great rishi or sage vyasa composed an epic poem which he called the

rishi vyasa mahabharata the son of satyavati and rishi parashara since he was of dark complexion and was born in an island he was also called krishna dwaipayan

vyasa composed the poem but couldn't write it down because his thoughts ran faster than his pen so he was looking for a scribe who could write the verses at the same speed with which he recited them but he could find none vyasa invoked lord brahma brahma appeared before vyasa and asked why did you call me vyasa what do you yes i want oh lord i have composed this wonderful poem an epic it is the story of mankind the story of our humanity but i need someone who can write it while i recite the verses can you recommend someone brahma said i think ganesha would be the best person for this job why don't you ask him yours are called ganesha elephant headed god ganesha appeared and asked i understand you are looking for a scribe for your poem yes i am said vyasa i can write your poem for you said but i have a condition my pen should never stop if you ever hesitate while reciting your poem and my pen stops it will not start again and i will leave right away we are thought for a while and then said i agree but i also have a condition you cannot write a single word or verse without understanding it ganesha thought that should be easy after all ganesha is a god and vyasa a mere human being how could vyasa write something that you won't understand ganesha agreed to vyasa's condition and sat down to write vyasa started dictating the poem but whenever vyasa ran out of material and needed some time he would compose a verse with difficult words and complicated phrases even the god ganesha had to stop and think to decipher those phrases while vyasa composed few more in his mind thus the great story of mahabharata began to take shape with this wonderful collaboration between vyasa and ganesha

long long ago there lived a king named shantanu who ruled over a vast kingdom in the northern india

one day shantanu was strolling along the riverbank enjoying the cool breeze and listening to the soothing sounds of the flowing water suddenly he saw a beautiful maiden rise from the water and walked toward the riverbank shantanu was awestruck by your exquisite beauty and he understood what love at first sight meant he felt an invisible force pull him towards the lady as he lost all control over himself he stood in front of the gorgeous lady and asked wherever you are my lady i am in love with you and i cannot live a single moment without you please please marry me and save my life i king shantanu of beg for your mercy the lady smiled and said i am flattered looking but i have a couple of conditions for any suitor who wants to marry me if you can agree to my conditions i'll marry you but i must warn you these conditions are not easy to keep especially for a husband said for you i can agree to any condition the lady smiled again and said listen to them before you agree first you can never ask or inquire about who i am or where i come from second you can never stop me or ask me for any explanations for any of my actions whatever they may be if you ever break your promise i'll leave you at once do you think you can agree to these conditions the infatuated king didn't have the patience to think through he said i agree i will never ask you who you are and i will never stop you from doing anything now will you please marry me the lady agreed shantanu took her to his palace in hastinapur and married her in a grand wedding ceremony the happy couple spent a great year together until their first child a boy actually my opinion is about i like this story maharaja so much so much this proud about me that i am indian right now this is oh you know and what about you don't you like the mahabharat don't you like this story huh don't you please comment what are you waiting for it comment yes

that his wife has given birth to a beautiful little boy he left his coat and ran to the birthing chamber but as he entered the room he saw his queen pick up the newborn baby wrap him in a shawl and walk out of the room shantanu was about to ask where she was going but he remembered his promise and kept quiet he followed her as she left the palace and went to the bank of the river where they had first met and there he saw his queen drop the baby into the river and within moments the boys sunk into the deep waters shantanu was horrified how could a mother do such a thing to her own child he wanted to scream at his wife but again he remembered his promise not to ask any questions or demand any explanations he was heartbroken but he kept his mouth shut after about a year when shantanu had almost forgotten the trauma of losing his first son the queen gave birth to another child and this time too the shocked king saw his queen drown the baby in the river right after his birth shantanu could neither protest nor demand any explanation for a horrific behavior one after another the queen gave birth to seven sons and each time she took the baby and drowned him in the river the king bound by his promise stood silent and watched the tragic events when the eighth son was born and the queen was about to drown the baby in the river shantanu couldn't take it anymore he shouted stop stop this i won't tolerate this anymore the queen stopped and said but you've promised the angry king said i don't care for my promise anymore how could you be so cruel how could you kill your own child i have kept my mouth shut all these years but i won't let you kill my child anymore the queen smiled and said you have broken your promise hence i must leave you but before i leave i'll tell you the reasons for my action i am ganga the river goddess these eight sons seven of whom have drowned in the river are the eight vassous of the heavens

once the bosses visited rishi washington provoked by their wives they stole vashista's cow nandini my sister was furious and cursed them that they would be born as humans and go to the sufferings as any human does the fossils were scared they cried and prayed for his mercy only prahasha the eighth vasu the one who stole the cow stood defiant finally bashista calmed down but he couldn't take back his curse he said the vasus would have to be born as humans but the seven of them who begged for his mercy would be short-lived i was assigned to be their mother and i had to relieve them of their curse by drowning them right after their birth but the eighth vasu prabhasa would live a long life on this earth and endure the sufferings of human life the eighth son of yours is the eighth vasu

shantanu was amazed to hear the story he pleaded to ganga please please don't leave it would be hard for a boy to grow up without a mother ganga said i am sorry my job is over and i must go now i'll take this child with me and train him to be your worthy son then one day i will return your son to you saying so she disappeared into the river with the newborn baby

shantanu was heartbroken he was sad and depressed every day shanthan would go back to the river bank with the faint hope to see ganga come back with a son days passed months passed years passed but ganga didn't come back
