Reading Notes: Mahabharata: Karmic Revolution Part B

 Reading Notes

One Hundred Sons - 

This was my favorite story out of the Part B videos, probably because of how they portrayed the flesh that Ghandari gives birth to. It was literally just a lump that looked like balled up laundry. The flesh was later split into 100 pieces and then submerged in oil. After that, her sons emerged from the oil and she had a hundred sons. The video portrays them as ugly beings, and that only a blind parent would accept them as they could not see their ugliness. I thought this was humorous but also unrealistic, as a mother will love her son regardless.
