Abhimanyu - I

 


 Abhimanyu . Fighting a battle such as the Kurukshetra at the age of 16 is no simple joke and being identified as one of the legends in that battle is more than just being note-worthy.  every individual out there gets inspired by the hero of heroes
  
Abhimanyu is among the most luminous characters in the Mahabharata whose heroism is unsurpassed in an epic filled with great heroes and their superhuman deeds. The credentials of his blood are great. His father is Arjuna, and Arjuna’s father is Indra himself, which makes Abhimanyu the grandson of the lord of the celestials. Abhimanyu is also a scion of the Lunar dynasty and heir to the legends of such men as Puroorava, Nahusha, Yayati, Bharata, Ajameedha, Kuru and so on. His mother is Subhadra, a Yadava princess, on whose side too his ancestry could be traced to Yadu, the founder prince of the Yadava line, and through him to the same legendary Puroorava, Nahusha and Yayati. And, beyond all this, he is the nephew of Sri Krishna himself.

When the Mahabharata war takes place, he is a sixteen-year-old adolescent just married to the beautiful Uttara. In spite of his tender age, though, he is a brilliant warrior, fearless in the battlefield, his valor no less than that of the greatest of warriors. Speaking of him, Sanjaya tells Dhritarashtra that Abhimanyu has in him all the great virtues and skills of all the Pandavas and Sri Krishna put together.
