AATHREYA - Gaandhaari Maatha

 

Gaandhaari is a princess of Kandahar in present day

 

Afghanisthan.

 

Dhruthraashtra is young Kaurava King in Hasthinapur,

 

under his paternal uncle Prince Regent Bheeshma;

 

He is the son of Ambika and hence aka Aambikeya.

 

While pregnant Ambika had a pre eclamptic toxaemia

 

and the in utero baby suffered from cerebral anoxia,as

 

a result of which Dhrutharaashtra was born blind since

 

birth due to anoxic degeneration of visual tract of brain.

 

Bheeshma went to Kandahar , defeated the local ruler

 

and brought Gaandhari to Hasthina as a bride for blind

 

Dhrutharaashtra. Gaandhaari , to the best of my

 

knowledge, is not aware that her husband to be is blind.

 

Might is right. Gaandhaari graciously accepted the fait

 

accompli and instantly took a vow of blindness upon her,

 

refusing to see what Her husband cannot see and for-

 

ever blindfolded Herself. What a Noble Lady She is.

 

One problem that Bheeshma brought to Hasthinapur,

 

unwittingly and unbeknownst to him , is Shakuni(brother

 

of Gaandhaari) who is destined to play a tragic role in

 

future events leading to Kurukshethra war.

 

Every action has an equal and some times

 

adverse opposite reaction.

 

Gaandhaari, a Mother who lost all Her children , a life long

 

Noble companion of Dhrutharaashtra through thick and

 

thin and She ultimately followed Her husband into

 

Vaanaprastham and finally Sathi Sahaganam .

 

Om Shaanthi , Om Shaanthi , Om Shaanthi.
