Reading Notes: Mahabharata videos, Part C

 

                                                                     Bhima and the Baka

Notes

- Karna had enchanted armor, he knew he was special since he was young.
- Karna's father found him floating in the river, his armor grew onto him as he grew up.
- He then learned he was a Kshatriya.
- Karna sought out the greatest master of arms he could find - Drona. 
- Drona told Karna that he could not teach him because he was not a Kshatriya. 
- Karna did not want to tell him that he was a Kshatriya because he did not want to demean his parents that brought him up. 
- Karna returned home and wept and would continue for the rest of his life keeping his pain in silence.
- Karna came running to his mother one day and was excited that he found a guru.
- His guru was the greatest in all of the land but would never teach him the art of war.
