- I learned that the Mahabharata is pronounced exactly as it is spelled through these videos haha
- The Mahabharata is an account of how karma happens
- The king fell in love with the river goddess
- the Ganga said yes
- she wanted him to never question her decision and he agreed
- queen ganga drowned their first child--he asked no questions
- she continued to kill their next 6 children
- the children had been killed to free the celestial spirits
- The king found himself back on the banks after she left him
- he found his son and wife again
- the king lost his heart to a fisherman's daughter and asked her to marry him
- she refused
- his son went to sooth the pain in his father's heart
- he went to beg the fisherman
- he swore an oath: he would never marry nor father any children
- he became known as "he of the terrible oath"
- the king eventually found himself guilty
- he granted his son a boon--death would never touch him unless he requested so
- I'd like to write about his journey with death (something like HP when the man with the invisible cloak escaped death always)
