Story of Aravan
================
This character plays a very small part in mahabharatha.
Aravan is supposed to be son of Arjuna and a Tribal woman.He will be sacrificed before the start of war(narabali). It seems only persons who have 64 characteristics of a male can be killed.Only Krishna and Aravan qualified for this.Aravan was chosen to be sacrificed as Krishna was indispensable to the Pandavas.Before dying,on the eve, he wished that he should get married.But, no one was willing to give their girl to a person who is going to die tomorrow.Lord Krishna changed himself as a woman and married aravan.Next day Aravan was sacrificed.
There is also a story that Nakula(who was great in astrology) suggested this idea to Duryodhana! I'm not sure which is the correct version
The following has been a mind boggling one for quite some time.
Finally I have the time and memory to put it forth here. Hope the hubbers could shed some light on this.
Why did Drona who vowed vengence against Drupada, taught archery to Sikhandi?
Never head this before, will get back to you on this!Quote:

On rebirth, Shikandi as a man, wears some garland which was left by Amba before she committed suicide and becomes half-woman.
Kirshna uses Shikandi as a front against Bhishma in the final battle with Arjuna.Arjuna, sends arrows from behind shikandi and fells Bhsihma.
I am not sure who taught shikandi archery.I do not think it is Dronacharya
May be it is Drona's greatness, that he taught, Archery, even to his enemy's son: Infact, if the student is deserving, Guru will teach him.Quote:

Infact it is an interesting scene...the way Vidura saved Paanadavas! Here it comes!
Paanadavas along with Kunthi are leaving for Vaaranaavatham. Before leaving they are getting the blessings of Dhritharashtra, Bhishma, Drona and other elders of the family. When they come to Vidura to get his blessings, who had smelled the collusion of Dhuryodhana and Sakhuni, asks a question to Yudhistra, in front of all the elders!
The question is:"Which animal can escape from a great forest fire"? At once, Yudhishtra says, only a rat can do that as it can make holes in the ground and hence can escape when there is a forest fire! This question was totally out of context and hence no one gave importance, but for Yudhishtra!
In their way to Vaaranavatham, Yudhishtra was deeply contemplating on Vidhura's question for he knew that Vidhura will not waste his words!
After reaching the palace, Yudhishtra came to know that there was only one entrance/exit for the entire palace and he also started smelling the conspiracy! As a custom, local people came to see their Prince, with few gifts and the Paandavas accepted them happily. There was a last person, who came with a cage in this hand and handed over the cage to Yudhistra as a gift.
When Bhima saw what was inside the cage, he was surprised to see that, as what he saw was a "RAT". So Bhima asked him,"Do you think, it is wise to bring a Rat as a gift, that too when you are coming to see a King?"
The hard-looking man replied, "Oh! Mighty Prince, don't under estimate the Rat, as it is the only Animal, which can escape from a Forest fire"
Hearing this, Yudhishtra gets a spark and identifies him as the man sent by Vidura. Thus the hard-looking man, who was sent by Vidhura is an expert in creating underground passage!
Hi Srivatsan
This is a new story to me.Not heard of that before.Can you recall the entire portion here? Why are they asked to move to a wax palace etc?What happened when they escaped the fire. This thread will become active again
