Reading Notes, Mahabharata Karmic Revolution Part B
The mantra given to Kunti by Durvasa stuck to me the most because I think it was so helpful and effected many people. Whenever she says the mantra she could call any god and they would show up.
The first time Kunti called the Sun god, Surya, she didn’t know what was happening or why she even called him. After the Sun god left she had found a ‘beautiful’ baby in her arms. Since she was not married it was not possible to keep the child so she had to let him go. She put the baby in her basket and let him go in the water hoping he would be safe. Later on in the story Pandu and his two wives went to the forest for some time. In the forest one day Pandu goes hunting and shoots an arrow at a hermit couple who were making love with each other. Before the Hermit died he cursed Pandu that while he is making love he will also die. This shows the concept of Karma again. Now Pandu could not make love to his two wives so he also cannot have children to carry the role in the kingdom. He was very sad. Kunti then told Pandu about the mantra that Durvasa had told her to use that will help her call any god and bear their children. Pandu was extremely happy about this because Hastinapur will now have kings to live on the name. Kunti called one god after another and had 3 children with them. Pandu still wanted more kids so Madri used the mantra and called upon a god to give her children. The idea of the mantra was so helpful and it changed everyones life. But in the end Pandu still died because he would not keep himself away from Madri.
