Stories of Indian Gods and Heroes: The Pandava Brothers

King Santanu, son of Kuru ruled over Hastinapura

Duryodhana wanted to burn the palace of the Pandavas and kill them 

The Pandavas saw this coming and evaded this attempt of murder

Sunda and Upasunda were two brothers who lived to please each other and were very compatible 

Draupadi was made slave as well as the rest of the Pandavas

However, they were allowed to leave because of Dhritarashtra's pity for Draupadi

Dhritarashtra sent them a new challenge and made a deal that the loser of a dice game would have to go to the forest for thirteen years

Because Drona died, Karna became leader

Bhima tore open his enemy and drank their blood as he said he would

Arjuna then killed Karna by crashing his chariot and spearing him

The five brothers and Draupadi departed from everyone and were mourned and gave funeral rituals to those who had died

Pandavas

One of my short time goals is to make it into Chiropractic graduate school this fall. One of my long terms goals would be to graduate Chiropractic school and get my doctorate in Chiropractic. I would like to eventually open up my own Chiropractic practice or be a work with professional athletes.  I have three dogs a...

Week 2 Story: The Heron and the Fish

  THE BLUE HERON AND THE FISH Once upon a time, while Brahmadatta was king of Benares, the Bodhisatta came to life at the foot of a great pond as a Fish. He grew strong and healthy and lived in a very big pond with plentiful marine life. At that time there was a Heron living near the pond. The Heron's mate saw the wonderful meal before her which happened to be the fish, and she conceived a longing for his heart to eat. So she said to her lover, "Honey, I want nothing more but to feast on the heart of that fish!" "My dear," said the Crocodile, "I live on the land and he lives in the water: how do you see I go about catching him?" "I do not care how you go about it," she replied, "I just want him to eat if it is the last thing you do." "Okay I will do this for you if it makes you happy," answered the Crocodile, consoling her, "don't worry, I have a plan and I will get you his heart." So when the Bodhisatta was ...
