Episode 20. Mahabharat : The Oath that Changed History !
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.
