Reading Notes: Epified - Mahabharata Part D

 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.

Introduction to Jacob the Entrepreneur

 My name is Jacob and I am a Sophomore majoring in Economics. I'm from the Texas Hill country (a place called Bulverde, just north of San Antonio) however I was born in El Paso. Despite growing up near both the University of Texas and Texas A&M, I am actually a lifelong OU fan. My parents and grandparents were all fans of either of the other two schools, but I held my ground. My grandma would always tell me "you'll probably change your mind several times as you got older", but I knew that I wanted to be a Sooner. Originally, I had planned on majoring in Biology and eventually (hopefully) going to medical school. But my interests rapidly changed over my freshman year at OU. 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 ...

Reading Notes: Epified - Mahabharata Part F

Ep 48 - Krishna Meets the Pandavas          News about the defeat of the Pandavas in the gambling match made it to Krishna. He left to meet the Pandavas in the forest. He was upset that he hadn't been available to help the Pandavas because he was protecting Dwarka. Krishna urged the Pandavas to fight the Kauravas and take back their kingdom. They did not agree.      The reason Krishna was not able to be there for the Pandavas is that Dwarka was being attacked by King Shalva. Krishna ended the war when he used his Sudarshan Chakra to decapitate Shalva.  Ep 49 - Arjun Receives Shiva's Weapon     Krishna blesses the Pandavas and promises his allegiance. The Pandavas were struggling with little resources. Many sages came and gave them knowledge while living in the forest. Ved Vyasa came to visit the Pandavas. He told Arjun that he needed to acquire Indra's and Shiva's celestial weapons in order to win the war. Arjun left for the Himalay...
