Okay, so a battle will undoubtedly occur – between who,
though?
Based on the description of Khandavaprastha, I would say
that it sounds like a modern day Palm Springs, California.
Narada is quite the character – he stirs up conflicts only
to go ahead and resolve them? Hmm.
What envy Duryodhana
has towards the Pandavas. The war must surely be between these two groups.
Overall, I have found this book to be captivating. It has
thus far been a much more pleasant read than the Ramayana.
Yudhistira succumbed to the power yet pitiful gamblers
mentality. I can not believe that he bet absolutely everything he owned – and lost!
Duryodhana has done quite a terrible thing here.
The loser of the second game of dice will have to go into
exile for twelve years—what is the significance
of this? Rama was forced to do the same in the Ramayana. Coincidence? I think
not.
Yudhistira mentioned that he was not to act in anger;
imagine what the world would be like today if that principle could be held by
men.
