Sachitra Mahabharat (Hindi) vol 4 of 5

Volume 4 of 5. Hindi translation of Pictorial Mahabharata. Translated by Swami Videhatmananda. 'Sachitra Mahabharata' ke is chauthe bhaag mein pracheen kaal mein huey supreseeth mahayuddh ka romaanchkari vivaran prastut kiya gaya hai. Parantu yeh aadhunik kaal ke yuddhon se bhinn tha, kyonki is yug ke yuddhon mein hinsa, kartaa, chhal aadi ki koi seema nahin rehti. Mahabharata ka yuddh Kurukshetra mein hua, jise Dharma ka Kshetra kehte hain. Un dinon saare yuddh kathor naitik niyamon ke aadhaar par hi ladoo jaate the. Pratidin shankhnaad ke saath yuddh ki shuruaat hoti thi aur suryaast ke samay usey bandh kar diya jaata tha. Hum yeh bhi dekhte hain ki raat ke samay Pandav log charcha ke liye Kauravon ke shivir mein bhi jaate the. Yuddh ke pehle das din Bhishma Pitamah Kaurav-sena ke pradhan senapati the. Unhonne Pandav-sena ka kaafi vidhvans kiya. Baad mein Dron ko senapati banaya gaya aur unhonne bhi apni rananeetik kushalta ka achha parichay diya. Isi liye is bhaag ke do parvon ko 'Bhishma Parva' tatha 'Drona Parva' kaha gaya hai. Yuddh praarambh hone ke thodi der pehle hi Shri Krishna ne Arjun ko apna vah prasiddh updesh diya, jise 'Bhagavad Gita' kehte hain. Mahabharata ka yeh ansh Sanatan Dharma ki ek adbhut tatha jeevant vyakhya prastut karta hai.
