Now I will tell you about These 13 Incidents of Mahabharata, are still remembered today.And they are as following: 

1. Eklavya incident:

 Eklavya was the son of Lord Krishna's ancestral (uncle) who was handed over to the Bhil Raj Nishad Raja on the basis of Jyoti Sh in childhood. In the Mahabharata period, the Shringverpur state spread far and wide in the coastal region of Prayag (Allahabad) belonged to Nishadraj Hiranyadhanu. Shringverpur, situated on the banks of the Ganges, was its strong capital. Eklavya does not give his thumb in Dakshina or if Guru Dronacharya does not ask for Eklavya's thumb in Dakshina, Eklavya is not mentioned in history.

Gurudronacharya had pledged to Bhishmipitama that he would teach only the princes of the Kaurava dynasty and promised Arjuna that no archer would be greater than you. Gurudronacharya did not make Ekalavya his disciple simply because of the shame of this promise and when he came to know that Ekalavya has learned everything. Then he asked for Ekutha from Eklavya in Guru Dakshina. To prove Arjuna the great Arjuna, who had got Eklavya's thumb cut, he had to fight a war against the same Arjuna and he was the reason for killing the son of the same Arjuna and he died at the hands of the same Arjuna's brother-in-law. Had happened.

2. Duryodhana in Indraprastha:

The Pandavas live in a city called Indraprastha and build an elusive palace in it. This palace makes the elusive Asura Mayasura. The specialty of this palace was that where there was a water table, there was a floor and where the floor was seen there was a water pool. Duryodhana also had the curiosity to see this palace.

As soon as he entered the palace, he saw a grand situation. In that hall there was beautiful flooring and Draupadi stood in the gallery above. As soon as Duryodhana sets foot on the floor, he falls into the pool of water. Actually, it looks like a floor is a water pool. Pool of water ie swimming pool. Draupadi, looking at the gallery above, laughs out loud after seeing this incident and says, 'Andha son of blind'. Starts thinking

3.Lakshagriha Kanda:

 Under Shakuni's policy, Duryodhana built a palace to stop the Pandavas, which were made of lac, which was later called Lakshagriha. According to Duryodhana's plan, this palace was silently set on fire in the night so that the sleeping Pandavas would die in this palace. But the Pandavas' spies informed him of this plan and they escaped through a secret tunnel at night. This tunnel still exists today, which opens on the banks of the Hindon River. The remains of the palace built from lac are still found in Barnava. It is located in Meerut district, called Barnava or Varanavat.

4. Bhima could not lift the tail of Hanumanji: 

Everyone knows that the mighty Bhima could not lift the tail of Hanuman. Actually, Bhima was going through a path in the jungle to take the lotus at the behest of Kunti, when he saw a monkey lying on the way. Bhima considers him to be a monkey and says, O monkey! Remove your tail and give me a way out. The apes said that you take off the tail. Even after Bhima's million attempts, when Tails did not move from his place, Bhima understood that this is not an ordinary monkey. Bhima apologizes.

Some scholars believe that the incident took place on the Gandhamadan mountain. Gandhamadan mountain, located to the north of Kailash mountain in the Himalayas (south is Kedar mountain) was in the territory of Kubera. One of the Gajdant mountains located in all four directions of Sumeru mountain was called Gandhamadan mountain at that time. Today this area is in the area of ​​Tibet. This area can be reached by two routes.

The first through Mansarovar via Nepal and the second ahead of Bhutan hills and the third via China via Arunachal. Probably when Arjuna met Hanumanji in a pilgrimage in Assam during the Mahabharata period, Hanumanji must have come to the Assam pilgrimage via Bhutan or Arunachal. However, according to some scholars, Hanuman Chatti is about 25 kilometers away from Joshimath in Uttarakhand. Bhima and Hanumanji met here and Hanumanji blessed Bhima to conquer the Mahabharata war.

5. Ranchoddas: 

Jarasandha called his friend Kalayavan to kill Sri Krishna. Kalayavan's army surrounded Mathura. He sent a message to the King of Mathura and gave Kalayavan a day to fight. Sri Krishna sent a message in reply that the war should be only in Krishna and Kalayavan, why fight the army in vain. Kalayavan accepted.

Akruraji and Balaramji forbade Krishna for this, then Krishna told them about the boon given by Shiva to Kalayavan and also said that no one can defeat him. Sri Krishna also told that death will be attained by the Kalayavan king Muchukunda. Muchukand is sleeping in Chiranidran due to a boon. What will awaken them will be death.

When the conflict between Kalayavan and Krishna was over, Kalayavan ran towards Shri Krishna. Shrikrishna immediately ran away from the battlefield facing the other side and Kalayavan ran after him to catch him. Thus God entered a mountain cave far away. Kalayavan also entered after him. There he saw another man sleeping. Seeing him, Kalayavan thought, "Krishna has hidden in disguise like this to avoid me."

The man had been sleeping there for a long time. He got up due to a foot stroke and slowly opened his eyes. Kalyavan was seen standing nearby after looking here and there. The man was somewhat disgusted by being stung like this. As soon as he saw the fire, Kalayavan's body was burnt and he burnt to ashes in a moment. The men who found Kalayavan asleep in the cave were Raja Muchukunda, the son of Ikshvakuvanshi Maharaja Mandhata. In this way Kalayavan came to an end. Due to this incident, Lord Krishna was named Ranchoddas.

6. Slaughter of Jarasandh: 

The arena of Jansandh, the father-in-law of Kansa, is located in the Rajgriha of Bihar. Jarasandha was very powerful. It is believed that Bhima killed him at this place at the behest of Lord Krishna. Rajgriha is called Rajgir. According to the Ramayana, the fourth son of Brahma, Vasu founded this city by the name 'Girivraja'. Later, before the war of Kurukshetra, Vrhadratha took possession of it. Brihadratha was famous for his bravery.

No one could kill Jarasandha. Bhima had made two pieces of his body, but both of his pieces were added again. Then Shrikrishna told Bhima with the help of a straws that the straws throw two pieces and the right pieces to the left and the left pieces to the right. Bheem understood this gesture and when he caught Jarasandha for the second time and tore her two, they threw both the tear in opposite direction of each other.

7. Chirharan: 

Yudhishthira betrayed Draupadi at the time of Dyutkrida in Mahabharata and Draupadi was conquered by Mama Shakuni on behalf of Duryodhana. At that time, Dushasan dragged Draupadi by hair and brought her to the meeting. When Draupadi was being insulted there were judges and great people like Bhishmapitamah, Dronacharya and Vidur sitting there, but all the big luminaries present there were sitting there bowing their mouths. All of them also got punishment for their silence.

On seeing Duryodhana's orders, Dushasan started unloading Draupadi's saree in front of the entire assembly. All were silent, the Pandavas were unable to save the beauty of Draupadi. Then Draupadi closed her eyes and called on Vasudev Shri Krishna. Sri Krishna was not present in the meeting at that time. Draupadi said, "O Govind, today there is a war between faith and non-faith. Today I have to see whether there is a God or not. ”Then Srihari Sri Krishna presented a miracle to everyone and Draupadi's sari went on till the dushasana became unconscious and all were numb. Everyone understood that this is a miracle.

Slaughter of Karna: Karna possessed immense powers, despite not having amogha astra, after the armor coil landed. On the seventeenth day of the war, Shalya was made the charioteer of Karna. On this day, Karna defeats Bhima and Yudhishthira and remembers the promise given to Kunti and does not take his life. Later he starts fighting Arjuna. A fierce battle ensues between Karna and Arjuna.

When Arjun used arrows and he used to follow Karna's chariot, his chariot would go far back and when Karna used arrows, Arjuna's chariot used to retreat only a few steps and in such a way Sri Krishna praises Karna very much. Then Arjuna says to God that you are praising Karna, due to which our chariot is retreating only a few steps, but with my arrow, his chariot is going back many yards. Then Krishna smiles in such a situation.

Then suddenly the wheel of Karna's chariot gets grounded. To take advantage of this opportunity, Shri Krishna asks Arjuna to shoot arrows. With great care, Arjun slays Karna in a helpless state. After this, the Kauravas lose their enthusiasm. Their morale breaks. Then surgical chiefs are made, but Yudhishthira kills them at the end of the day.

9. Drona Slaughter: After lying on Bhishma's corpse, Drona becomes a commander at the behest of Karna in the eleventh day war and creates a furore in the war. As Ashwatthama and his father Drona's destructive power increases, panic spreads in the Pandavas' camp. Seeing the defeat of the Pandavas, Shri Krishna asks Yudhishthira to resort to distinction. Under this plan, in the war it was spread that 'Ashwatthama was killed', but Yudhishthira was not ready to lie. Then the elephant named Ashwatthama of Avantiraja was slaughtered by Bhima. After this, in the war it was spread that 'Ashwatthama was killed'.

When Guru Dronacharya asked Dharmaraja Yudhishthira to know the truth of Ashwatthama being killed, he replied - 'Ashwatthama was killed, but the elephant.' At the same time Sri Krishna performed the conch shell, due to which the noise of Guru Dronacharya could not hear the last word 'elephant' and he thought my son was killed. Hearing this, he gave up his arms and closed his eyes in the battlefield and drowned in mourning. This was the occasion when Draupadi's brother Dhrishtadyumna, knowing Dronacharya was unarmed, beheaded him with a sword. All this happened due to Krishna's policy, which was later criticized. But it was very important in war.

10. Slaughter of Jayadratha: Due to Jayadratha in the Mahabharata war, Abhimanyu was trapped in Chakravyuh and was killed by the warriors together by Duryodhana. After this heinous crime, Arjuna vows that if he is not able to kill Jayadratha before sunset the next day, I will take Agni Samadhi myself. This pledge spreads happiness among the Kauravas and pandas spread among the Pandavas. The Kauravas somehow manage to save Jayadratha till sunrise and hide. When Arjuna could not reach Jayadratha for a long time, Shrikrishna hid the sun for a while from his illusion, which led to the sunset. Considering the sunset, Jayadratha himself stands in front of Arjuna with a laughing pride. At that time, the sun comes out again and Arjuna immediately kills Jayadratha.

11. Barbarik's head: 

In the battlefield, Bhima grandson Barbarik stood under a peepal tree, the middle point of both camps, and announced that I would fight for the side that was losing. One arrow from Barbaric was enough for war. Seeing this miracle of his, Lord Krishna starts thinking that Barbarik will support the loser with a pledge. If the Kauravas are seen losing then the crisis will arise for the Pandavas and if the Pandavas are seen losing in front of Barbarik, then he will support the Pandavas. In this way, he will destroy the army on both sides with a single arrow.

Then Lord Krishna, disguised as a Brahmin, reached the gate of Barbarik's camp in the morning and started asking for donations. Barbarik was also a donor like Karna. Barbarik said, ask the Brahmin! What do you need? Brahmin-form Krishna said that you will not be able to give. But Barbarik gets caught in Krishna's trap and Krishna demands his 'sheesh' from him. Barbarik volunteered for the victory of his grandfather Pandavas. Seeing this sacrifice of Barbarika, after donating, Shri Krishna gave the gift of worshiping Barbarika in Kali Yuga by his own name. Today Barbarika is worshiped as Khatu Shyam. The place where Krishna placed his head is named Khatu.

12. Tearing Duryodhana with a thigh: 

If Duryodhana's entire body became like a thunderbolt, then nothing could spoil it. In fact, Duryodhana's mother Gandhari had called his son to him in a naked state so that with the sharpness of his eyes he would harden his son's body like a thunderbolt. Duryodhana was also going naked in order to obey the mother's order, then on the way, Shri Krishna stopped Duryodhana and said that if you go in front of the mother in this state, you will not feel ashamed? Will it not be a sin? Hearing this, Duryodhana wrapped a banana leaf on the thigh portion under his stomach and reached Gandhari in this state. Gandhari opened the bandage over his eyes and cast a divine eye on Duryodhana's body. With the effect of this divine vision, the whole body became like iron except for Duryodhana's thigh. In the battle, Bhima had dislodged Duryodhana's thigh, due to which he died.

13.Curse to Ashwatthama: 

In the Mahabharata, Drona son Ashwatthama was a warrior who had the ability to fight the entire war on his own. When Ashwatthama was made the commander at the end of the war, he had killed millions of Pandavas' remaining armies, sons and sons of Pandavas in the womb in one night, contrary to the rule of war.

He also had the audacity to leave Brahmastra, in response to which Arjuna also left Brahmastra. Ved Vyas advised both of them that this will destroy the Earth, so take back your Brahmastra. Arjuna withdrew his Brahmastra but Ashwatthama did not remember to take back the Brahmastra, so he landed it on the womb of Uttara, the wife of Arjuna's son Abhimyu, which led to the death of the womb.

After this massacre of Ashwatthama, there was a sense of disinterest in the Pandavas. They also won and lost. Their everything was destroyed. This was the reason that Shri Krishna cursed Ashwatthama to wander as a leper for 3,000 years and revived Uttara's womb.
