Namaskar. Welcome back to Marathi stories by Sudheer Mahajani. This week we will delve into some prominent characters of Mahabharat.

We start with the Chiranjeev - Ashwathama - the warrior son of Guru Dronacharya. His life is a story of tragedy and reflects what happens when you end up at the wrong side of Dharma.

We are at the concluding chapter of Shani Mahatmya. While King Vikram ends his 7 and a half year destined toil and is eventually blessed by Shani dev, he understands from Shani the hardships of many others who have gone through harder phases of life.

We get to know how Shani dev tested many great beings in their destined life phases. Link to the details of one such reference episode - Krishna and Syamantak Mani - https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/FCETiOSBXFb

The moral of the story is to humbly surrender to our hard times, patiently let these pass, continue to be kind and do good, and wait for fruitful times ahead.
