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 B playlist.
Kunti was given a special mantra from a sage, which would allow her to call upon any god that she wished. Kunti tried it out with the sun god to see if it worked and it did. Kunti was left with a child from the sun god. Kunti knew that the child was destined for greatness. She placed the child in a basket and put it in the river. Kunti's son with the sun god was a secret. No one knew about it not even her husband, the king.
One day Pandu was hunting with his bow and accidentally shot and killed a couple. Before the man died he cursed Pandu and said that the second be would be come intimate with a woman something terrible would happen. This caused great pain for Pandu and he decided to leave the kingdom. Kunti mentioned to Pandu her special gift in which she could call upon any god.
The god of truth was called upon by Kunti. Pandu was given a son by the god of truth. Then the wind god was called upon. Pandu was given a son by the wind god. One more god was called upon and Pandu was given another son. These are three of the five Pandava brothers.
After Pandu's death Kunti couldn't bear to stay in the kingdom anymore so she left with the five sons of Pandu.
