PIC ~ Shaheer Sheikh as Arjun,the greatest epic saga #Mahabharat..
Arjuna was a master archer who played a pivotal role in the conflict between the Pandavas and their adversaries, the Kauravas. He is most famous for his ethical crisis and subsequent dialogue with Lord Krishna in the Bhagavadgita, where he is counseled concerning the nature of the universe, proper duty, and supreme devotion.
His seminal role in the Mahabharata has marked Arjuna as a central heroic figure in the scriptures, iconography, and mythology of Hinduism. In his dialogue with Krishna in the Bhagavadgita, Arjuna embodies the qualities of the ideal student. His willingness to accept the word of Krishna, even though it involves raising his weapons against his kinfolk, illustrates his ideal devotion to God. Together, the inseparable friendship between Krishna and Arjuna represent the cosmic inseparability of Brahman and atman, or the essence of the universe and the soul, one of the fundamental ideas of Hinduism. In a more general sense of comparative myth, Arjuna also stands as the archetypal reluctant hero, who is called to a task of great import and initially shirks his duty, only to reconsider and perform his task with unmatched effectiveness. As such, Arjuna is a hero not only for Hindus but also for the entirety of humanity.
Apart from archery, he also excelled in the arts of dancing,singing and acting which enormously helped the pandavas when they had to stay in the court of Virat in total disguise as a part of their agreement with the Kauravas in the 13th year of their exile. Arjuna took advantage of the curse he got from Urvashi and turned himself into Brihannala, a eunuch and acted as dance master for the royal household,especially uttara, the daughter of Virat. At the end of the one yr stay, he helped king Virat by fighting battle with Kauravas who invaded his kingdom. After realizing that the five people who working in his court were indeed Pandavas in disguise,King Virat offered to marry his daughter to Adhimanyu the son of Arjuna in return for the services rendered by the brothers, a marriage that proved
By virtue of his inner purity and his loyalty to lord Krishna, Arjuna had the fortune of receiving the divine of knowledge of the Bhagavad-Gita. The character of Arjuna symbolizes purity,intergrity,loyalty and valor. He had many temptations and dilemmas in his life but alwayz chose to remain on the side of God and with his brothers in their trials and tributations.
He could have a great king in his own right, but he remained loyal to his elder brother Dharmaraj who ascended the throne of Hastinapur by virtue of being the eldest in the family. After the battle of Mahabharata, he assisted his brother greatly in expanding their empire by annexing several outlying kingdoms and defeating warring tribes. Arjuna serves as an example of a great human being, a dutiful householder, a loyal brother, a great warrior, a devout husband ad a sincere devotee of God.
