I really don't like one thing.he never got to "LIVE his life" he "lived for others".he did not deserve that.he was a gr8 man,a gr8 warrior and would have been a chakravorty samrat

I don't agree on how they are portraying him in Star Plus either..

This particular portrayal is the worst! 🤢

as per me bheeshma put his duty towards the kingdom he served at highest priority whether he liked it or not.may b that's why he sided with kauravas.

Hmm. That was dwapar yuga after all!

So true! He never did anything for himself..the most selfless man! Not a moment's happiness..but that's how his life was destined to be!
For me he's the greatest warrior, his noble qualities and his purity make him stand tall among the rest.

Devavrata's transition to Bheeshma is undoubtedly the greatest and the most glorious happening..and yet the greatest tragedy of Mahabharata.

For me he's the only warrior.

Alok Shankar ji's poem 'Bheeshm':


Adityon ka tej, ghani chhaya jisko karta hai
Jiski dhanu ki pratyancha se nikhil bhuvan darta hai
Devon ka devatva, naman jis narata ko karta hai
Kaaljayi, us adi purush ko manuj kaun kehta hai
Nahi manuj tum Bheeshm, manujta ki tum nav asha ho
Nishtha, bhakti, pratigya palan ki koi bhasha ho.

This is such a beautiful poem..

Indeed!

"Devon ka devatva, naman jis narata ko karta hai"

This line is my favourite..eternally beautiful!

Btw, has the author written any other poem on him other than these two?
