Hello all,
In this post you will find my notes from The Mahabharata: Karmic Revolution an online film from YouTube. These notes are only comprised of the part A playlist.
Once I began watching the videos, I soon found out something that I didn't realize or get from reading the PDE version of Mahabharata. The original story has been changed based on who is telling the stories. Depending on the story teller the story might be different. This reminds me of what we are actually doing in Indian Epics. We take the original Indian epic or the original story that we read and make it our own, focusing on the elements and characters that we connected with the most.
I really enjoy the way that the online film retells the Mahabharata, is was really easy to follow and I was able to make more connections between characters. All of the names and characters can get kind of confusing after a while so it is a nice refresher. Something that I now understand that I didn't fully understand before was why the goddess of the Ganges continually killed her own children. The goddess of the Ganges would kill each of her children because she agreed to give birth to the eight celestial spirits and free them from mortality.
