Reading Notes: Mahabharata Part D

Yudhishthira was discussing with Krishna Bhishma's end and said to send Arjuna who objects. Bhishma challenges Arjuna and refusing to fight a woman is struck down by Arjunas arrows. Men became bloodthirsty slaying family members and all alike. Ghatotkacha is slain by Karna. Dhrishtadyumna cuts off Drona's head for he is blinded by sadness. Arjuna fights Karna, Gandiva is broken but Arjuna keeps going and kills Karna.

I went to my counselor and she had me take tests to figure out what caree

My heart is heavy and full all at the same time for those who lose loved ones before the proper time. I blessed them for paying their respects to their loved ones so that they may reach moksha. - Ganga ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 12th, 5565BC Dear Diary,  Today I was blessing travelers and animals as they came to my river to rest and drink when up in the sky I saw eight vasus' crying and flailing about. They came to me and said, "We have been cursed oh goddess, one year from today when the sun rises we will be born one by one as humans to live out humans' lives with no recollection of our divinity." Their story shocked me so I agreed to help. I told them that I would have them and upon their birth, I shall destro
