Episode 5 of the conversations between Yogita Pant and Anil Chawla discusses the developments that enabled old Emperor Shantanu to get married to young beautiful Satyavatee. Shantanu was around seventy years old when he saw young and beautiful Satyavatee. Shantanu fell for her and approached her father to ask for her in marriage. Her father, Nishaadraaj, demanded a promise that Satyavatee’s son would become the king after Shantanu. This was a difficult promise for Shantanu since it involved robbing Gangaputr of his legitimate right. Shantanu became sad and dejected due to his unfulfilled desire to marry Satyavatee. The problem was solved by Gangaputr Devvrat meeting Nishaadraaj and taking a pledge to never marry. (Mahabharat/Aadiparv/Sambhav Parv/Chapters 100). Production support: Friends and well-wishers. ***** महाभारत और वाल्मीकि रामायण हिन्दू धर्म के दो मूलभूत आधार ग्रन्थ हैं। महाभारत ज्ञान का एक ऐसा विशाल भण्डार है जो जीवन के हर पहलू के सम्बन्ध में शिक्षा प्रदान करता है। इसमें जो संघर्ष है वह भिन्न भिन्न जीवन मूल्यों का द्वन्द्व है। जिन मूलभूत मूल्यों एवं आदर्शों के लिए राम ने रावण से युद्ध किया, उन्हीं को स्थापित करने और सशक्त करने के लिए द्वैपायन कृष्ण और वासुदेव कृष्ण भी अथक अनवरत प्रयास करते हैं। उनके इन प्रयासों की कथा ही महाभारत है। इस कथा को जान कर, समझ कर और उससे प्राप्त शिक्षा को आचरण में उतार कर हम अपने जीवन को सुखद एवं समृद्ध बना सकते हैं। समस्त सुधीजनों को अनेकानेक शुभकामनाओं के साथ यह श्रृंखला "महाभारत का महापर्व" विनम्रतापूर्वक समर्पित है। Mahabharat and Valmiki Ramayan are the two fundamental foundation epics of Hinduism. Mahabharat is a vast storehouse of knowledge that teaches one about every aspect of life. The struggle in the epic is the clash between two different life-values. Dwaipaayan Krishn and Vaasudev Krishn put in relentless and continuous efforts to establish and strengthen the same fundamental values and ideals for which Ram fought the war against Raavan. Mahabharat is the story of their efforts. By learning and understanding this story and by adopting the learnings into our behaviour we can make our life happy and rich. This series “Mahabharat Ka Mahaparv” is most humbly submitted with the best of regards and wishes to those who value knowledge.  ***** Website - http://samarthbharat.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/hinduthinker Twitter - https://twitter.com/AnilThinker Hubhopper - https://hubhopper.com/podcast/valmiki-ramayan-ke-ram/339465 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/samarth.bharat/ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/77iwIF32X1ATf6Uw7Trej4?si=c204e7c9ca3844fc YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@valmikiramayan   TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@samarth_bharat Please donate by paying to 9406528010@paytm using any UPI app in India.***** Anil Chawla is an engineer - B.Tech.
