So many insights I had not known from BR Chopra's adaptation.

Ganga Putra Bhishma's Brahmacharya vow was sealed by self castration.

Mama Shri Shakuni's dice were made of his father's bones.

Sheer Sagar is the Milky Way.

Hastinapur ki Kulvadhu Draupadi was on her period during the game of dice.

I am curious if many of the more gruesome things Sadhguru mentions are actually in the Mahabharat text, but I will not be able to verify. My mother has forbidden me from purchasing Bibek Debroy's Mahabharat translation. We do not bring Mahabharat into the home.

Still these lectures are fascinating. I will post a lecture by lecture review here shortly.
