AATHREYA - AMBA , Ambika , Ambalika - no choice

 

Amba , Ambika and Ambaalika are Princesses who had

 

no say over the events that overtook them . Amba atleast

 

had a mind of her own and was betrothed to King Saalwa.

 

Ambika and Ambaalika , sisters of Amba are too naive.

 

It is the fourth quarter of Dwaapara Yuga . These three

 

Women are victims of powers that prevailed at that time.

 

Bheeshma had two brothers , Chithraangada and

 

Vichithraveerya who are weaklings. Might is Right.

 

Bheeshma captured the three sisters and brought them

 

to Hasthinapur to get them married to his brothers.

 

I dont understand why he abducted three Princesses to

 

marry two brothers of his. Having come to know that Amba

 

was already spoken for, Bheeshma sent her away to

 

Saalwa, who in turn refused to accept Amba as she has

 

been abducted by another man. What would poor Amba do.

 

She came back to Bheeshma and demanded that he marry

 

her as he brought her in the first place. Bheeshma reminded

 

Amba about his vow of celibacy . Amba tried to fight the

 

injustice of it all , but in the end like a chaste woman that she

 

is ,she committed Sathi only to be born again as Sikhandi

 

who is instrumental to bring about the downfall of Bheeshma.

 

The moral is ultimately justice will prevail.

 

Ambika and Ambaalika had no choice except to accept the

 

prevailing situation and were duly married to Chithraangada

 

and Vichithraveerya who very soon left their wives widows

 

and to boot without any isue. Again they bowed to the wishes

 

of their mother in law Sathyavathi and agreed to become

 

mothers with sperm donation, IVF and ICSI. Their role in Mahaa

 

Bhaarath is now over and along with their mother in law their

 

further life events are lost in the pages of ancient Bhaarath,

 

but let us remember they played very active , if incognito, part

 

in sustaining the progeny of Kuru Vamsam. Om Shaanthi.

 

0M THATH SATH.
