    The Complete Story of Eklavya | The Boy the Guru Refused

    Fall asleep to the calm, in-depth story of Eklavya from the Mahabharata. His guru refused to teach him. So he built one out of river clay and bowed to it every day for seven years.

    Fall asleep to the calm, in-depth story of Bhishma from the Mahabharata. Most people know his name. Far fewer know the full shape of his life. Bhishma is the grandfather of the Kurus — the warrior who fell on the tenth day of Kurukshetra but refused to die for fifty-eight more. He lay on a bed of arrows, suspended above the earth, and chose the exact moment his breath would leave.
