Notes for Epified Mahabharata

Ep 31 - Creation of Indraprastha

Khandavaprasth was given to the Pandavas and the land was barren. The land which was forested was cursed by Indra, only inhabited by Asurs, Rakshas, and Nagas. Yudhishthir decided to move into Khandavaprasth since he did not want war.

The Pandavas arrived at Khandavaprasth and found the wasteland. Krishna helped design a new kingdom for them. Arjun and Krishna met Agni. Agni wanted to burn down the forest.

A new glorious city was constructed. The Pandavas named it Indraprastha because it resembled Indra's city.

Ep 32 - Narad visits Indraprastha

On Krishna's way back to the Pandavas, he met Narad and asked him to visit the new city. Narad decided to go. The Pandavas wanted his guidance in the administration of the kingdom. They also introduced him to Draupadi. Narad's face was clearly worried. He was reminded of the story of the Asura brothers.

My parents and grandparents were all fans of either of the other two schools, but I held my ground.

Growing up, I had always been very close to my Dad and I looked up to him in many ways. He was a very hard worker and an entrepreneur. His most successful business was, and is, a custom home company named J Taylor Custom Homes, named after me (also check us out at JTaylorCustomHomes.com ). As I ...

Week 5 Story: Hanuman's Leap

Hanuman was having a largely peaceful afternoon surrounded by his fellow monkeys. Having just stopped his chaotic brother Vali from antagonizing Sugriva, he deserved it. Shortly after, Sugriva fetched Hanuman and told him that two strangers were approaching and that he should go check them out to make sure that they aren't coming to cause trouble. He then met Rama and Lakshma who said that they wanted to speak to Sugriva. Thrilled that they weren't dangerous or evil, he carried them on his shoulders to meet Sugriva. Rama and Sugriva agree to help each other and they go off to kill Vati. Later, Sugriva is crowned king of Kishkindha. It was now his turn to hold up his end of the deal. Sugriva gathered Hanuman and the monkeys and sectioned them off into groups. He sent the groups into the four directions to look for Sita and report back. Hanuman went to the south along with Angada, and Jambavan. Hanuman and the southern search party soon reached the beach. They were all very up...
