Purochana showed the house he made with lak to Pandavas.tHEY ENTERED THAT HOUSE.Dharmaju behaved in such a manner that he believed Purochana.He observed that house and assessed how that house was made.Even Vidura suspected that it was the out come of Duryodhanas vicious act.He sent one person to Pandavas and see that he makes a tunnel underground from that house into the forest.Vidura sent sent some suggestions and directions to Dharmaraju through that person.That servant and aide made the tunnel secretively and showed it to Dharmaraju.That man reminded Pandavas that Purochana has decided to burn down the lak house on coming krishna chathurdasi day.

Purochana kept one low caste woman as helper to Kunthee devi.She too had five sons and she was serving them along with her sons.She used to pass on the information of Pandavas to Purochana regularly.

By midnight,Bheema swa that the house was put to flames before Purochana.His mother and other brothers were sleeping and so carried all pf them through THe tunnel to outside.The lac house burnt all through the night.In the flames,Purochana,the lady and all her five sons died.Local prople saw the ashes and thought that Pandavas were killed by Dhrutharashtra and blamed him and abused him.When he was conducting assembly along with Karna,Duryodhana and others the news of death of Pandavas reached them.Dhrutharashtra,Gaandhaari,Bheeshma and other civilians wept.Vidura ,who knew the actual facts ,also wept along with them.Dhrutharashtra conducted last rites to Pandavas on the banks of Ganges with his family members.Duryodhana felt very happy on hearing the news of Pandavas death.

Dharmaraju made the prince

Dhrutharashtra discussed with Bheeshma and Vidura nad made Dharmaraju as yuvaraaju.Sons of Panduraju behaved well with all and they liked them very much in return.All round development of Pandavas could not be revieved by Duryodhana in right prospect.He could not accept the fact wholeheartedly.He did not know what to do.He discussed this matter with Karna,Sakuni and dussaasana.Sakuni advised him to defeat them by wrong means.Duryodhana accepted it because he fully well knew that he could not win over them face to face.He told Dhrutharashtra also to terminate them by wrong means.
One day,Dhrutharashtra called Pandavas.He wept remembering his lost brother.Panduraju.He advised them to go to religious place,Kasi ,taking their mother also along with them.He told them to stay there for sometime till he calls them back.Pandavas agreed to his suggestion.They left for varanaavatha nagaram.
Duryodhana called Purochana ,his obedient aide.He told him to reach Kasi before Pandavas reach there and construct a palace made of Lak.He was supposed to make Pandavas stay in that house.If Duryodhana became the king ,he would be properly looked after in all angles.Purochanudu accepted the tie up and reached Kasi before Pandavas.

KUMAARAASTHRA VIDYAA PRADARSANAM

DRONA TOOK PERMISSION FROM DHRUTHARASHTRA to show the talent of his disciples.He wanted to parade their efficiency in the art before Vyasa and Bheeshma.They arranged a big arena .Dhrutharashtra came with all his queens.Kuntheedevi also came and sat with Gaandhaari and Dhrutharashtra.Vidura sat beside Dhrutharashtra and was explaining him the events that were taking place.Vyasa and Bheeshma came and alighted their appropriate seats.Dronacharya came along with his son,Aswaddhaama and stood in the arena.Bheema and Duryodhana started Gadaayuddham.Actually it was supposed to be an act to show their talent .But it went astray and viewers made hue and cry observing the unwarranted developments.Dronachaarya sent Aswaddhaama and stopped their fight.Then he told the viewrs to observe and enjoy Arjunas talent.Every one praised Arjuna and Kuntheedevi felt very happy on the achievements of her child.Arjuna showed very unique and specialised acts of archery.

Then Karna stood near the entrance of arena and attracted the viewers.Duryodhana and others backed Karna.Pandavas went near Dronacharya.Then Karna did all the acts that were done by Arjuna in similar fashion.Then Karna challenged Arjuna for a duel to prove his supremacy.Arjuna was also ready to start the duel.They covered each other with arrows and people could not see them.
Then Krupaacharyudu stood between them and declared that duel should be ha dbetween equals.Arjuna was the son of kunthee and Pandu raju.He asked Karna to tell about his parentage.Karna stood with his head bowed.Then Duryodhana made him the king ofAngarajyam with the approval of Bheeshma and Dhrutharashtra.Karna asked Duryodhana what he would want in return.Duryodhana replied he wanted nothing but his friendship.That day was over.That night Duryodhana could sleep without any fear of Pandavas.

As a matter of fact,this kumaaraasthra pradarsana was like a seedling to the forth coming kurukshethra war.

Then Dronacharyudu called all his disciples and told them that it was their turn to give him gurudakshina.He said defeating Drupada and bringing him to his feet was their only gurudakshina to him.Kurukumaaras went to panchalarajyam and fought with Drupada but were defeated.Arjuna took blessings from Drona and Dharmaraju and went to face Drupada in war.Drupada fought with Arjuna ferociously.Arjuna caught Drupada alighting on his chariot and borught him to his guru,Dronacharya.Drona was happily satisfied with Arjunas talent.He made fun of Drupada and left him.Dronas anger subsided so easily like fire of dry grass.

At that time ,Drupada could not do anything.So, thinking of revenge,he started doing devabrahmana pooja.He was waiting for the appropriate time .

dronacharyudu reaches hasthinapuramu


Children of Dhrutharashtra were playing with a ball one day.The ball fell into a well.Children did not know how to take it from the well and stood watching round the well.Then Drona took it out by using arrows one after another.Then the children took him to the palace.Drona told his story to Bheeshma.He also told the heinous act of Drupa also.Bheeshma was happy and made him the teacher of his grandchildren.He taught them how to use arrows and bow.Among all of them,Arjuna was the best.He also made his teacher by his behaviour also.Aswththaama,Dronas son was also jealous of Arjuna.People who saw Arjunas talent felt That Parasuramudu would have looked like this when he was armoured with an arrow and a bow.Drona taught the children other acts like sword fight,prasamu and gadaayuddhamu also.

Yekalavyudu was the son of Kiratharaju,Hiranya dhanvudu.He too wanted to learn these talents from Drona.Drona refused to teach dhanurvidya to kirathaka.
He went home,made Dronas statue and prayed it with sincerety.He started learning shooting with arrows treating thw statue as his master and achieved mastery in that field.Rajas children saw the statue of their guru and Yekalavya .They told about his talent and how he learnt it to their master.

Arjuna enquired with his guru if Yekalavya was his disciple.Drona was awestruck and went to know the facts personally .Yekalavya was very happy to recieve his guru .He welcomed him whole heartedly.He asked what he would want as guru dakshina.To appease Arjuna,Drona asked for his right hand thumb as gurudakshina.Yekalavya happily removed and gave it to his guru.Like this Yekalavyas expertise in archery came to a sad end.Arjuna was relieved because Yekalavya would have been a threat to him in future.It brought into the open Dronas partiality towards his favorite disciple.In later days ,Arjuna became the best in all arts.
Drona was happy that Arjuna became the best and regarding his love towards him.He was confident that now Arjuna could go and win over his enemy,Drupada.
Then only he could rest peaceful.He gave many divyaasthrams to Arjuna.

CURSE OF KINDAMUNI

AT ONE TIME Pandu raju went to Himalayas along with his wives,Kunthi and Madri.He went there for hunting.He killed one of the two deers which were involved in consummation.He did not even consider for a single moment ,that it is blasphemous to kill when they were involved in promotion of their progeny.One of the deers fell down dying and said so. He was a sage named kindamudu.He and his wife wanted to enjoy sex in the guise of deers.So they were moving about in forest in a romantic mood.Pandu raju killed such deers.Heartless people and rough and tough people also do not kill animals which are involved in sex as it is a very pious act.Pandu raju was born in a very high family which is reputed.He is not supposed to do such heinous acts.He cursed that pANDU RAJU WOULD DIE IF HE desires his wives.So from then onwards ,Pandu raju was doing severe penance.One day he saw some sages go to heaven and he too wanted to go to heaven.But he knew the reality that a person who had no children could not reach heaven.He was depressed.Then those sages consoled him with divines blessings he too would have children in future.Pandu Raju then asked his wife ,Kuntheedevi ,to have children with some other persons.Kunthee disagreed with him in this issue.They told each other Pyushithaasvuni story and Swethakethu story to emphasize their line of thinking.Then Kunthee told him about The boon of Durvaasa muni and the manthropadesamu.As per Pandurajus directions,Kunthee prayed Dharmadevatha with the manthropadesam given by Durvasa maharshi.She became pregnant.On an auspicious day a boy was born, Aakaasavaani told that He would become the king of kuruvamsa.He would be righteous man.He would be ferocious.So he should be named as Yudhishtara.As per the boon of Vyasa maharshi,Gaandhaari too became pregnant.She could not give birth even after an year.Knowing that Kunthee gave birth to a good and nice boy,she felt jelous and unrestful and she beat at her womb.The embryo fell down .At that time,Vyas maharshi came and cut the embryo into 101 bits and put them in separate ghee pots. He told them to maintain proper humidity for the embryos by sprinkling water now and then.By doing so, Gandhari would have 100 sons and one daughter.
