What if one selfless sacrifice could destroy an entire dynasty?
This is the story of Devavrat — the prince who would one day become Bhishma.
A story that begins with:
Ganga drowning her own children,
King Shantanu falling in love twice,
and a son sacrificing:
his throne,
his marriage,
his children,
and his entire future… for his father.
But that one terrible vow would eventually lead to:
Dhritarashtra,
Pandu,
the Kauravas,
the Pandavas,
and the Mahabharata war itself.
Who were the cursed Vasus?
Why did Ganga drown her 7 sons?
How did Dev-vrat become Bhishma?
And did one sacrifice unknowingly change the history of Bharat-varsh forever?
This episode traces the origin of the Mahabharata through the story of Bhishma, Shantanu, Ganga, Satyavati, and the Kuru dynasty.
Sourced from the Mahabharata of Ved Vyasa.
