Mahabharata Characters - 26 | Yudhisthira - 04 | The Pandavas dishonoured and dispossessed

#HareKrsnaTV #ISKCON #vedic #wisdom #mahabharat #indian #epic #chaitanyacharandas The Mahābhārata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India, the other being the Rāmāyaṇa. It narrates the struggle between two groups of cousins in the Kurukshetra and the fates of the Kaurava and the Pāṇḍava princes and their successors. The Mahābhārata is the longest epic poem known and has been described as "the longest poem ever written". Its longest version consists of over 100,000 śloka or over 200,000 individual verse lines (each shloka is a couplet), and long prose passages. At about 1.8 million words in total, the Mahābhārata is roughly about four times the length of the Rāmāyaṇa. Within the Indian tradition it is sometimes called the fifth Veda. Yudhishtira is the first among the five Pandavas. He was the son of king Pandu of Kuru and his first wife, Kunti and was blessed by god Yama to the couple. In the epic, he becomes the emperor of Indraprastha and later of Hastinapura (Kuru). Talk by Chaitanya Charan Das as a part of the course "Fascinating Mahabharata Characters".
