Arjuna

INTRODUCTION:

Arjuna was a main character in Mahabharatha. He was the son of Kunti Devi and Lord Indra. He occupied a main place in winning the battle in Kurukshetra war with Kauravas. He was born in dwapara yuga.

IMPORTANCE:

Arjuna was a very brave and bold warrior. He was the friend of Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna narrated the Bhagavat Gita to him, during the Kurukshetra war. In his previous birth he was the great rishi named as ”NARA” who undertook severe penance with another rishi called as “NARAYANA”. The rishi “NARAYANA” in his next birth took the avatar as Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna acted as a friend, philosopher, guide and a god to Arjuna. He has given many useful suggestions and teachings to him, which was very much effective to him. Arjuna has seen the “VISWAROOPA” dharshan of Lord Krishna at the time of Kurukshetra war. He was talented in all kinds of art, and a great warrior in the battle field. He respected all the elders and treated them with much care and attention. Without the help of Arjuna, the pandavas cannot win in the battle with kauravas. Arjuna was a great valour, and a master in archery. He was able to shoot the arrow even from a long distance, and make it to reach it to the correct direction. He was married to draupathi, and also after some time, he married subhadra, and they had one son known as Abimanyu. Like his father, Abimanyu was also a great warrior and a master in all kinds of art. Abimanya was killed in the battle by the kauravas.

CONCLUSION:

Arjuna was a great scholar and a noble man, who took the avatar for serving to Lord Krishna. He was the son of Lord Indra, and he went to swarkalok for seeing his father Lord Indra. With the help of Lord Krishna, he lived a peaceful life. He was safeguarded by Krishna, and has become a great man after listening to his teachings. He has given proper respect to his brother “YUDHISHTRA” even after they left their palace, and went to the forest. Let us worship the great and the humble King Arjuna, and chant his name and live happily for ever.
