Former Prime Minister Pandit Nehru wrote the Discovery of India, from the snow peaks, from the waves of the ocean and from the waves of the ocean to the Indian surroundings in the waves of the west, and whose cultural, spiritual and traditional consciousness has shown the blueprint of a divinity, what is it, what is it? Nehru also asks himself, asks himself to his people. History-Geography scholars and thinking of yogis-ascetics. In the last, when he asked the farmers and laborers the same question, he received an accurate answer that this land surrounded by mountains and seas is India and Indianness is its soul.
State, cities, districts, villages and areas may change, but do not change, then Indianness in this country. This Indianness is a mixed mother in mixed form. This country gets life from stories with its Shruti tradition that has been going on since ages and also learns to live life. Ramayana and Mahabharata have two big books. Where the Ramayana teaches the dignity of life, the Mahabharata teaches to live life, determines the limits of dignity and tells that when discipline breaks in life, the incident that happens is called destruction.
Two things are prominent in this Mahabharata. The first is that its most brief form is the interpretation of sin-virtue, which has been told very easily in a line that it is a sin to trouble someone and philanthropy is virtue. If life is scales, then sin and virtue are its two dlads and you have to decide which pan you will keep heavy in life. It will depend on your karma.
Expanding this such thing, the story of Mahabharata was created by Maharishi Ved Vyas, which was written by the first revered Ganpati on his request. You call them the first steno in the world, who continuously prepared a retain document of a great story, but this saga does not reach us today, which was written by Shree Ganesh ji, but this story has also been able to travel to today’s era by listening to generations, ie generations.
Therefore, it is difficult to say where to start the beginning of this saga. Because this is not a limited story to the family battle of Kauravas-Pandavas.
This is not even a saga of small mistakes made by his ancestors, it is not even the memory book of dynasties ruling the territory of India at that time. It cannot be limited to Sri Krishna’s Karmayoga theory and interpretation of his pastimes. This story is basically the story of the beginning of the universe, then it is the story of people who have forgotten the virtue of sin, the story of their punishment and end and the story of re -establishing religion.
It starts from here …
Narayanam Namakrian Nara Chav Narottamam. Goddess Saraswati Vyas Tato Jayamudiyeet.
Narayana (Srihari Vishnu), in all humans, should recite Arjuna (male), Goddess Saraswati and after greeting Vyas ji, Jai (of Jai (of Mahabharata i.e. Mahabharata).
This is the first verse of Mahabharata, this verse is first written in ‘Adiparva’. This Adiparva includes many stories. It begins by listening to the story among the sages doing penance in Naimisharanya, where Ugrashrava describes the Nagayagya of the sage Janmejaya and then tells how the yagna was stopped by Mata Mansa and Rishi Jartaru’s son Aastiq and then the story of Mahabharata was narrated by Rishi Vaishampayan sitting in mourning. Rishi Vaishampayan tells how Maharishi Ved Vyas had already made this Mahabharata book in mind with his trikaldarshi memory and then he narrated this story to Shri Ganesh ji and wrote it to him.
Narayan, the first verse of Adiparva in the Mahabharata story, bows to Lord Vishnu, Nar Arjuna, Goddess Saraswati and Veda Ved Vyas. After this verse, the second verse greet Lord Vasudev, Supreme Father Brahma, Prajapati, Maharishi Krishna Dvaipayan and Shree Ganesh. The first story starts from here, which mentions two special things. The first is how such a great book was written and second, who told this saga. The story starts from here.
It was the final stage of Dwaparyuga. In the same era, there was an ashram of Maharishi Shaunak in the Naimisharanya pilgrimage (this shrine is in Sitapur district of Uttar Pradesh today). He was the Vice Chancellor of the ashram. Many sages were gathered in his ashram for yajna and penance with a rigorous rule of 12 years. One day at the time of holiday, they were all discussing the Puranas. Meanwhile, Ugrashrava Sati came there, son of Maharishi Lomharashan of Sutakul. Ugrashrava Rishi was famous for telling many scholars and Purana stories as a story in simple language.
All the sages who knew his specialty asked him his condition and also asked where he was and where are he coming from? On this, the sage Ugrashrava said- I went to the sage of Emperor Janmejaya. At the same time, Rishi Vaishampayan and Maharishi Krishnadvapayan Vyas were also present.
He has written the story of Mahabharata. I am coming to hear the strange and mysterious Mahabharata story from the same yagna. After telling this much, Ugrashrava Sauti Rishi asked all the sages, now what should I tell you people? The stories of valor or the stories of the Puranas or the Puranas with the pilgrimage of the kings, the clan and their philanthropy?
On this, the sages said- You told that you went to see the serpentine of King Janmejaya. During this yagna, you have heard the Mahabharata story composed in front of Maharishi Krishnadvapayan Vyas from Rishi Vaishampayan, so we want to listen to the same Mahagatha. We have heard that this Mahagatha contains the heart of all the Puranas in itself.
On hearing this thing of the sages, the sage Ugrashrava said- you have said this very good thing sages, I tell you the same as I am coming to hear from the sage Vaishampayan. This Jai Kavya, called Mahabharata, is very beautiful and composed. It has used difficult, but rhetorical verses like Anushtupa, Indravajra. There are many codes and many compound departments in it. This story is as interesting as it is, its writing style has made it even more interesting, so it is said that the whole world has merged in this story.
After this, the sage Ugrashrava revealed the secret of the origin of the Brahmin written in the Mahabharata and also told how different animals were composed in this world of Brahma. Also described the creation of day, month, year and ages. Going ahead from here, Ugrashrava told about the dynasty and their descendants of the kings and then how the creation developed, informed all these secrets. Ugrashrava Rishi said- The secret of the universe and the universe, which I have told to you in a summary, Lord Ved Vyas knew all these on the strength of his penance and he recognized this knowledge till the end, he has said this story in both summar and expansion.
But, even after gaining so much knowledge, Maharishi Ved Vyas had a dilemma in his mind. He started thinking how to study this great secret to people? This question became his penance and seeing his thinking and his problems, the Father Brahma himself came in front of him. Seeing Brahmanji, Mahamuni Vyas greeted him and then worshiped him and asked him his question. He said, O Father- I have created Jai Kavya in my mind. It has an extension of religion, including the four Vedas, Upanishads, essence of Puranas and interpretation of all the texts, now how should I write it?
Then Brahmaji said- O Ved Vyas Krishna Dvapayan, who divided the Vedas. I am present in the creation power of every composition. I have also seen your work. In fact, you are the greatest of the poets, but the an epic that you have created in your mind is difficult to write. No one in the world will be able to remove it in writing, it will be difficult for you also. In such a situation, you should remember Shree Ganapati to write your poetry. He is an obstacle and he will be able to complete this task without any disturbance and obstruction.
On the suggestion of Brahmaji, Vyasji called for Shriganesh and expressed his intention. He said- I have created an epic my mind and I want your help in its writing.
Hearing this, Shriganeshji said- your prayer is accepted, but there is a condition, my writing should not stop even for a moment while writing. If this can happen, then I can become the author of this epic book.
Vyasji said- I obey your command, but it is requested that in any context, you will not write a single letter without understanding his heart, do not move forward without knowing his esoter, Ganesha called Rishi Ved Vyasa aushastu. In this way, he became the author of Mahabharata, whose name was Jai Kavya. This book is a symbol of the victory of the mind and is a practice to conquer the wishes that make the wishes that were first named ‘Jaikavya’. Later, due to being recognized as the saga of the Bharat dynasty, this Jayakavya became famous by the name of Mahabharata.
Ugrashrava ji says that in this way the writing of Mahabharata started. Vyas ji started the verse by using the verses, coded positions in the style of ornamentation, and the words of many meanings, and Ganesh ji started writing with his sharp intellect and understanding his true meaning and purpose. In this way, due to speaking and understanding the verse, there was a balance of speed between the two. Ganeshji was very impressed by Vyas ji’s verses and wrote interesting poems with a slow smile.
In this way, the sage Ugrashrava, ‘How was the Mahabharata story written in Naimisharanya,’ Mahabharata Katha ‘. It was narrated. This story is the first story of Adiparva of the book.
In the festival, Nag Yajna, origin of the universe, the origin of the universe, the story of the demon, Sagar Manthan, the story of Garun, the curses of their mother, the establishment of the nagas, the establishment of the dynasties and the description of their clans, the story of Dushyant-Shakuntala, the description of the Kuru dynasty, the marriage of Shantanu-Ganges, the story of the former birth of both, the birth of Bhishma, the birth of Bhishma, the story of their former births, the birth of their former births, the marriage of his former births, the marriage of his former birth The birth of the Kauravas-Pandavas, the story of the earlier birth of all the deities of the Pandavas, the influence of the curse and the boon, the secret of the birth of Karna.
