The Unfathomable Hand of Destiny: Or, is it Free Will?

By Bhupendra Suri

Book Overview

Can Duryodhana be held responsible for the Draupadi Cheer Haran incident (public disrobing)? Why did Yudhishthira, the Dharmraj or the righteous one, bet his brothers and wife on a game of dice? Did Krishna, being God himself, consciously bring on Gandhari's curse to destroy his own Yadava race?

Through this book, you will experience the world through the eyes of three fascinating characters from the Mahabharata - Duryodhana, Yudhishthira, and Krishna - all at pivotal moments in their lives. The author delves deeply into their lives, attempting to understand the driving forces behind their decisions. He explores the many lesser known stories from their past, for example, the story of the birth of Duryodhana, his ninety-nine brothers, and one sister, all from a single pregnancy. The book illustrates the evolution of human consciousness from an ego-centered being to an enlightened being as it progresses from one character to another.

These gripping stories and the compulsions of the different players will make you deeply ponder the ultimate force of conditioning in your own life. A force that blindly pushes you towards a preset life, but at the same time, it reveals the boundless potential and freedom in the moment, which you can harness to change the direction of your life in whichever way you wish.
