Reading Notes: Epified, Mahabharata: Karmic Revolution, Part A

 Mahabharata: Karmic Revolution by Epified

- These videos enrich the story with a lot more emotion than just reading them does. For instance, I can really see Devavrat's devotion to his father Shantanu here. 

- Devavrat's vow is given so much more importance in these videos. He vows that he will never get married or have children, a terrible oath. Because of his oath, Shantanu grants him a boon that Devavrat can choose the moment of his death and until then death cannot touch him. 

- These videos are definitely making the story so much more clear for me. 

- Devavrat becomes Bhishma. 

- I finally understand why Amba is so angry with Bhishma. It was his actions that led Salva to reject her.

- The story of Vyasa's getting the women pregnant with a blind child, unhealthy child, and a completely healthy child makes more sense here!

- Tell me why I'm questioning what Kunti's secret is ha ha.
