Mahabharat and Valmiki Ramayan are the two fundamental foundation epics of Hinduism. Ramayan describes the life of Ram, while Mahabharat is not focused on the life of any one person. Dwaipaayan Krishn, who is also called Maharshi Ved Vyas, and Vaasudev Krishn (also called Muralidhar, Giridhar, Gopal, Govind, Madhav etc.) are the soul of Mahabharat and hold all the strings of the story. On surface, it appears that Mahabharat is the story of the family feud within Kuru royal family between sons of Pandu (Pandav) and sons of Dhrutraashtr (Kaurav). But Mahabharat is certainly much bigger than a family feud. This epic is a vast storehouse of knowledge that teaches one about every aspect of life. The struggle in the epic is the clash between two different life-values. Dwaipaayan Krishn and Vaasudev Krishn put in relentless and continuous efforts to establish and strengthen the same fundamental values and ideals for which Ram fought the war against Raavan. Mahabharat is the story of their efforts. By learning and understanding this story and by adopting the learnings into our behaviour we can make our life happy and rich. This series “Mahabharat Ka Mahaparv” is most humbly submitted with the best of regards and wishes to those who value knowledge.
Valmikiy Ramayan is the original epic which narrates the story of Ram. It is a detailed work which describes Ram as a human being who faced all the difficulties of life. Ram of Valmikiy Ramayan faces dilemmas, discusses with his family and friends, accepts guidance from learned men and suffers hardships. He always takes the right decisions and follows the path of dharm. The series Valmiki Ramayan Ke Ram of conversations between Yogita Pant (Questioner) and Anil Chawla is intended to help the viewers understand the personality of Ram. After understanding one can adopt Ram's ideals in one's own life and enrich one's life.

Episode 32 of the conversations between Yogita Pant and Anil Chawla discusses the swayamvar of Draupadee and Arjun’s success there. On reaching the capital of King Drupad, Paandavs stayed at the house of a potter and earned their living by begging. The whole city was having a major festival with kings from across the country assembled there. On the appointed day, all the kings, Brahmins and many others assembled to see the spectacle. Dhrushtdyumn, Draupadee’s brother showed the bow and arrow which were to be used by the candidates to shoot down a rotating target through a narrow hole. Paandvas were sitting there along with Brahmins. Initially, various kings tried to pick up the bow and shoot, but failed miserably. Karn could pick up the bow and was getting ready to shoot when Draupadee intervened to reject him. Other powerful kings also tried and failed horribly. At the end, Arjun who was dressed as a forest-dweller Brahmin, got up. Arjun could hit the target without any difficulty. Seeing that a poor Brahmin had achieved what they could not, the Kings got infuriated. (Mahabharat/Aadiparv/Swayamvar Parv/Chapters 183, 184, 185, 186 and 187).

महाभारत और वाल्मीकि रामायण हिन्दू धर्म के दो मूलभूत आधार ग्रन्थ हैं। महाभारत जीवन के हर पहलू के सम्बन्ध में शिक्षा प्रदान करता है। इसमें जो संघर्ष है वह भिन्न भिन्न जीवन मूल्यों का द्वन्द्व है। जिन मूलभूत मूल्यों एवं आदर्शों के लिए राम ने रावण से युद्ध किया, उन्हीं को स्थापित करने और सशक्त करने के लिए द्वैपायन कृष्ण और वासुदेव कृष्ण भी अथक अनवरत प्रयास करते हैं। इस कथा को जान कर, समझ कर और उससे प्राप्त शिक्षा को आचरण में उतार कर हम अपने जीवन को सुखद एवं समृद्ध बना सकते हैं।
