Fall asleep to the calm, in-depth exploration of the most difficult question in the Mahabharata: Why Krishna Couldn't Save Abhimanyu.

It is the question that has haunted readers for thousands of years. Krishna is the Avatar—the one who guides the chariot, stops time, and bends reality. Yet when his own nephew, a sixteen-year-old boy, was trapped alone in the Chakravyuha, the divine charioteer was miles away. Was it a mistake? A tactical failure? Or something much deeper and more terrifying?

📖 IN THIS EPISODE

In this documentary-style exploration, we cover:

• The fatal gap in Abhimanyu's knowledge of the Chakravyuha

• The strategic trap (Samsaptakas) that removed Krishna from the scene

• The brutal reality of the 13th Day of the Kurukshetra War

• The philosophical silence regarding Krishna's non-intervention

• How Arjuna and Subhadra carried the grief of the unanswerable

This story touches on the difficult truth that sometimes righteousness does not protect us from loss, and how we carry on when the "exit" isn't visible. Perfect for falling asleep, relaxation, study, or anyone curious about Hindu sacred texts.

Based on the authoritative Kisari Mohan Ganguli translation of the Mahabharata.
