KARNA HIS MOTHER'S SOUL

CHAPTER 6

In hastinapur
Chaos of royalty and suffering of common folk was constant  in hastinapur.Event of the past still haunt the mind of the royalties, especially Bheeshma.He couldn't be at peace knowing the injustice that happened and he openly supported it,due to his oath, leading to a series of injustices.Although he was the same before the court but in the solitude of his chamber he was a lost soul who needed guidance and comfort.

It was early morning, royal members were on the dining table enjoying there breakfast when Mahamahim brought up the topic of the princes to start there education.The royal ladies were in disagreement stating there children are still young to be parted from them.Bheesma intervene stating it as the right age for the Princes to join grukul.Maharaj asked Bheesma if he has any teacher in his mind whom the princes will learn from.

Bheesma had two teachers in mind,one being Kripacharya who is  well versed in every branch of knowledge induding werfare though he couldn't inspire Kuru princes for lack of more Divya Astra's,Morever he has other royal duties to perform as he was Kul Guru preceptor of the clan.Desirous of giving his grandsons a superior education, Bheesma was on the look out of a teacher endued with energy and we'll skilled in the science of arms.He brought forward his suggestion of making Dronacharya his gurubrata as their teacher.

The royals were skeptical with Mahamahim choice of a teacher for their princes
due to the history between DRUPAD and him which made  royals anxious and they couldn't help but agree that he is unworthy  of being there teacher.Bheesma convinced them by praising Dronacharya for being a good warrior and more knowledgeable in DIVYA ASTRA'S whom the princes need as their teacher for he is capable of making them undefeated warriors in future,thus making him a better option.Though the royals agreed but they prayed not to find themselves in between the chaos of DRUPAD and Drona.

At that time,Dronacharya made his way in hastinapur palace looking for a job , that's when Bheesma asked him to be the teacher to the Kuru princes.He agreed with the condition he won't be teaching them here in the palace rather they will be heading to the place that he will choose,which the royals agreed with the intention that this will atleast strengthen the relationship between both the princes by bringing them together.Royals couldn't help but rewind how the years went by after Gandhari announcing the birth of the youngest Gandharinandan.

Flashback
After blessing Gandhari with a son, Surya took his leave not before blessing his son to be a greatest warrior born.Mahadev in request of Gandhari agreed of Aditya to be raised in Kailash,not having a heart to turn down the request of a devotee.Satisfied with the result of her boon ,she planned her journey of returning back to her other children for she had missed them greatly.Though saddened for she won't see her youngest son growing,but she was satisfied he will grow under the wings of her Aradhya,for her is to pray and await his arrival to shower him the love locked in her heart for him.

In hastinapur,
Life was still the same for the royal elders, for Pandavas there was slight change on  their behaviour due to over pampering from the elders and them being center of attention and never being corrected when wrong which made them arrogant believing to be superior than others in the notion that Kauruvas are born evil.Kauravas continued there daily routine of visiting Mahadev temple and offering Surya pooja for sun god, awaiting their mother's return whom as the day went by  missed her presence.

Today just as any other day after finishing their morning routine they heard the announcement of their mother's return on the palace.Overjoyed by the announcement they run on the Mother's direction hugging her showing how they missed her, and Gandhari wasn't left behind for he displayed openly her affection to her children.They invited their mother inside questioning her for the presence of their youngest sibling which Gandhari offered to tell them after being freshened.Later Gandhari called for the presence of his husband ,children and brother in her room.She could see the change in her husband but she was not bothered for he has hurt her greatly.

Gandhari:Have called you all here to announce about the success of my boon.

Dhristarashtra:Which boon Gandhari

Gandhari: Before the birth of my 101 children i was blessed by the sages whom I served to have one child  of any god of my desire but after the birth of my eldest childrens and that's why I wasn't here for I didn't want my youngest to be birthed here in Hastinapur.

Shakuni: From which God did you ask for my youngest nephew

Gandhari:From Sun god brathashre

Kauruvas:But Mata where is our Anuj

Gandhari:Putri/Putro's your Anuj is in Kailash I asked Mahadev for him to be raised there and receive his education from him.

Kauruvas:But Mata we haven't even seen him,when will he return.

Gandhari: Immediately after completion of both your education he will return for he will also be through with his education.

K/S:Ok Gandhari/Mata we will wait for our Anuj/nephew

Dhristarashtra was dishearten for not being aware of the birth of his youngest son before but he understood his wife was hurt due him which made her to hide such an important matter.He took his leave allowing his children to spend time with there mother,he wished to be apart of them but he didn't know how to go about it and there's no one to blame rather than himself, especially when he sees Yuyutsu not spending time with his brothers but Pandavas.Later Gandhari called for a family meeting announcing the birth of her youngest son only giving out of him being born from the boon granted by the sages,him being a Suryaputra and residing in Kailash until through with his education.

Many took it in a bad way,for them not being informed before his birth but they couldn't question her in fear of facing her wrath for Gandhari she didn't care about their opinion for they did fail her in the past so there was no expectation from her side.Years went by until that one black day never to be forgotten in there life's.When by mistake one suta child recited Vedas after hearing it from a Brahman.When a Brahman heard it he was angry and he thought how can a sut recite Vedas written in the puran,he called other brahman there explained everything they went near the child dragging him in the palace to be punished.Thus the child was poured hot molten gold in his mouth not bothered by the plea of the child's parents, elder brother and Maharani totally killing him in support of Vidur and Yudhishthir.That was the day the lower cast lost their faith on the royal family.
