Also someone should write a graphical book on star plus mahabharat for everyone to understand better

Arjun Without A Doubt A must read for all Arjun Draupadi fans. It is a fulfilling experience for us who Truely believe in ArDi Love story. The bond among the three krishnas is well presented. Loved the way crucial incidents like Sharing of Draupadi are explained with so much boldness and conviction. It is my most loved fiction on ArDi. Read it and feel the thrill.

The book really sounds interesting! I really want to read it but is it available on Amazon? I don't live in india

Devi Bhagavatha , again written by Ved Vyasa gives an interesting account of Draupadi's identity.In kritayug, Kusa Dhwaja, a king performs severe penance and gratifies Goddess Lakshmi, who takes birth as his daughter. She is Vedavathi, the incarnation of Lakshmi,always involved in severe penance. Once Ravan, the Rakshasa king happens to see her and touches her with a bad intention. Vedavati gets angry and stupefies him, with her power of penance. Then she curses him that she in her next birth will become the reason for his destruction. Vedavati immolated herself in her yogic fire and takes birth as Sita ,the daughter of Janaka. That happens in Tretayug. Sita gets married to Sri Rama, the Vishnu incarnate. She goes to the forest with Sri Rama and Lakshmana. One day Fire God requests SriRama to keep Sita under his protection , as Ravana will abduct her soon. In her place Chaya Sita will follow Rama and get abducted by Ravana. Sri Rama agrees and keeps the real Sita with Firegod and replaces her with chaya Sita,the shadow of Sita. It was kept a secret even from Lakshman. So Ravana abducts Chaya Sita and after the great battle and death of Ravan, Sri Rama takes real Sita from Fire God on the pretext of Agni pariksha. He asks Chaka Sita to go to Pushkar and perform penance. Due to her great penance she gets the good fortune of becoming Swargalakshmi. In Dwapar yug, that Swarna Lakshmi, rises from Drupad's Sacrificial pit as Draupadi. When she did penance at Pushkar, Lord Siva granted her Five husbands in her next birth. Draupadi hence is the part of Lakshmi, and Sachi the wife of Indra who is also swargalakshmi. So Vedati of Kritayug, Chaya Sita and Sita of Treta yug and Draupadi of Dwaparyug is the manifestation of Lakshmi. Many interpreted Draupadi's preferential love for Arjun because he is Nar, the partial incarnation of Vishnu.It is said in Devi Bhagavatham that sriram went to Vaikuntha,Vedavati absorbed herself in the idol of Goddess Lakshmi. So Our Draupadi is Vedavati, Chaya Sita,and of course Lakshmi incarnate.

The legend of Karavachauth tells an interesting story that involves Draupadi. Incidentally after the story of Karva, which every one knows by now, the most famous and colourful Vrat is associated with Draupadi also. When Pandavas are in Exile spending twelve years in forest, Arjun goes to Himalayas to get Pasupat and other Divyastras. Even after a long period, the brothers and Draupadi do not get any news about him. The brothers are worried about his well being and Draupadi becomes sick unable to bear with his separation. She feels so frustrated thinking always about Arjun, She prays to Krishna and Govind tells her to do Karavachauth for the sake of safety return of Arjun. Krishna tells her that Goddess Parvati also once performed this for Siva. Draupadi follows his word and performs Karavachauth. Soon after that, she gets the news of Arjun from Maharshi Lomash, who informs them that Arjun reached heaven after getting Pasupat from Siva. Draupadi feels relieved and continued her vrat. Through out. So one more instance of love,bonding and concern.

Draupadi never for a moment forget that all their wealth and prosperity actually are the result of Arjun's prowess. It is really interesting to see a wife's pride for the unparalleled valour of her husband. Ved Vyas presents her great pride and respect for Arjun's glorious achievements and made her pay tribute to the legendary archer. One such instance happened in Dwaita van when Draupadi goads Yudhi by describing the pathetic state of his brothers and her feelings for Arjun . Yo Arjunenarjunastulyo. ...Arjuna of two arms is equal to Karta viryarjun of thousand arms.yasya sastra patena pranataah sarva parthivaah... It was by his prowess of weapons that all the kings on the earth were made to wait upon the Brahmins at your sacrifice. Poojitam Devadanavaih. Dhyantam. Arjunam Drishtva...Are you not feeling anguished on seeing Arjuna who is worshipped by celestial sand demons. ? Are you not getting angry on seeing Arjun suffer in the forest ,he who is brought up in luxury? Yo devanscha. Manushyancha...why are you not disturbed on seeing Arjun, who on a single car vanquished the celestials, men and serpants.Why are you not feeling distressed on seeing Arjun who made the Kings offer their treasures ,cars,vehicles,horses and elephants to you and who can throw five hundred arrows at one stretch. ... So Draupadi's anguish on seeing Parth in the forest that too before Dharmaraj Yudhishtir. She never let him forget that their prosperity and the luxurious Indraprasth is due to Arjun's valour and nothing else. Well of course she expressed her pain on seeing her other husbands suffer. But the tone is different. The pride is obvious. She is Arjun's Draupadi.

Hey everyone,

Bhimsen's Arjun prem. . The two brothers Arjun and Bheem shared a great bond with each other. They are the protectors of the Pandavas and shared the glory of victories together. Often we see the great Bheem guided by his younger brother who is more intelligent and smart . It was Arjun who goaded Bheema to finish up Hidimb fast as demons will become more powerful at night time. Similarly we see Arjun calm down Bheem at the Dyut Sabha when he loses control over Draupadi's humiliation. In vana parv, when Arjun went to fetch divine astras, Bheem becomes sad and expresses his pain for Arjun's separation . He blames Yudhishtir for sending Arjun away on a journey of troubles and reminds him that the lives of Pandavas depended on Arjun only. Arjunah panduputranam Yasmin Pranah pratishtitah. He also tells Yudhi that if some thing happens to Arjun, the Pandavas will die,The Panchalas along with upa Pandavas will die,Krishna and Satyaki will sacrifice their lives. Yasmin vinashte,panchalah,Saha putraih,tatha,vayam,satyaki,vaasudevascha,vinasyeyuh. Bheema accused Yudhishtir of sending his great warrior brother who obeyed his order without thinking about his troubles. Gachati,Tejaswi,..klesan achintayan, Bhavaniyogat. What is sadder than this.Bheema wails. He reminded him that depending upon Arjun's might only they assume their rivals as already vanquished in battle. So Bheema's love for Arjun is well presented here. If Draupadi loved Arjuna the most her equation with Bheema is that of a close companion with whom she can share the secrets of her heart. It is Bheem who proclaims that Draupadi is enduring the hardships of travel to Gandhamadhan only to see and meet Arjun who is away for five years. Swetavahana Didrikshaya..vrajati kalyani. A certain understanding is there between Bheema and Draupadi who freely discusses Arjun's triumphs with him.As for Arjun he loved his boisterous and mighty brother who supported him in every way by holding the war responsibility be it at the time of Drupad war,Ghoshayatra or the great Kutukshetra battle.After the three Krishnaas this threesome Bheema,Arjuna and Draupadi captivates our hearts with their bonding with one another...Lakshmi Telidevara.
