Reading Notes: The Mahabharata, Karmic Revolution Part A
The Mahabharata, Karmic Revolution
*Technically these are WATCHING notes
-Technically, you could start anywhere in the epic you wanted. The story is an idea of how Karma works. Bring Karma into a story perhaps? Add a side story about Karma?
-The animated story starts with Shantanu falling in love with the Ganges goddess. He mustn't question her. As we already know, she is freeing the children from mortality, as they are previous gods. Why does Ganges keep the last son? Why doesn't she go ahead and free him too?
- The eighth son returns! I forgot that he literally shot a bunch of arrows into the Ganges to calm it. Why? Could he not use a lasso?
-We finally get to the part about Satyavati, which is where the written Mahabharata starts.
-Devavrat goes and talks to Satyavati himself. Why doesn't he just marry her?
-Why is the fisherman and Satyavati so adamant on taking the throne? Chill out.
-Devavrat takes a vow that he will never marry so that Satyavati's children will take the throne. This is a TERRIBLE vow, but he gets to cheat death. Could write a story about Devavrat escaping death?
-Bhishma is new name
-Bhishma watches over brothers, but one dies in battle. The other is sickly. He kidnaps three princesses to try and give his kingdom an heir. What if one bro hadn't died?
-Amba has a man, so Bhishma allows her to go to him. But he rejects her. She blames Bhishma. What if she transformed right then and there and there was a huge fight?
-Amba wants Bhishma to die; he fights his old master; I still want a catfight
-Bhishma's bro, the king, dies childless. Bhishma is fighting with his celibacy.
-Satyavati already had a secret child: Vyasa! The writer of this epic poem. Perhaps can tell a cute story about him finding out about all of this and discovering his power.
-Vyasa is terrifyingly ugly.
