Everyone seems to fall in love when they are at
a river. Funny coincidence
·
How is it possible for Shantanu to watch as
Ganga downs 7 of his kids? I would drown her!
·
Did Devavrata
question why Ganga kept him from his father for so long?
·
He fell in
love again by the water! A fisherman’s daughter
·
Shantanu didn’t have very much luck the first
time he fell in love, so why is Devavrata so quick to give up his promise that
he will never get married when he doesn’t even know if Ganga’s second marriage
will be any better than the first?
·
I like how Bhishma’s first reaction to go and
find the king a wife is to go kidnap 3 princesses instead of just find someone
who is willing.
·
Why is Amba rejected when she was simply
kidnapped and never gave herself to anyone?
·
Why was Parshurama so upset with Bhishma when he
would not marry Amba, when it was simply because Bhishma and made a vow to
never marry.
·
So if Vyasa’s wife didn’t love him and didn’t
want to sleep with him, was it a form of rape?
·
The three sons of Vyasa have a rivalry for the
throne.
·
Is it not a little too much to blindfold
yourself just because your future husband is blind too? It would probably be
more helpful if she used her sight to help her husband live a more normal life.
·
Kind of a strange sequence to hug a God and then
have a son appear in your arms randomly.
·
Sending her son away in a basket on a river is
similar to the story of Moses.

Leaving with Bhishma's son (image info)
This had me laughing the entire time, because I had all the same questions about the craziness that goes on in the Mahabharata. Especially the part where you talk about Bhishma kidnapping the three princesses instead of just finding someone who is TOTALLY WILLING to marry a king (I don't think many would care what he looked like). :)
