A story of ARJUN's SELF-CONCEIT


After hi dapas, he met lord shiva and received BRAMA ASTRA and blessings too... so he felt, he is great one in the world and he felt he can beat any one through his bow & arrow. He was hanged by SELF-CONCEIT.

When he back to home, he seen a river crossing him with full speed. He has to cross it to back to his place. he ordered the river to provide space to cross it otherwise to use his arrow. River pleased him, its nature. we cant split us to provide the space... you are a great archer, so better you built a bridge on me.

He felt, its a great idea. So, he used to build ARROW BRIDGE to cross... after he crossed it, he felt he is greater than sri ram. even, sri ram is also a great archer, but he used to built bridge by stones. but, arjun built it through arrow's. Hanuman felt that, some one criticising about sri ram.

Hanuman (looks like an ordinary person) meet arjun and said that this bridge never be a strong one to carry his weight.. both are bets about that. Arjun bet that, if bridge didnt balance your weight, i never use bow & arrow after that.

Bridge totally broke, when it met hanumans first step... Arjun felt guilty about himself. so, he decided to broke his own bow (gaandeepam) Krishna appear there and stop him to broke the bow... He ask him to built bridge again and ask hanuman to broke it. And this time, hanuman cant able to broke the bridge... cause, krishna fulla carry over hanuman weight through his shoulder and he get blood on his shoulder.

Arjun ask why u sacrifice yourself? Krishna said that "now, i have only you to protect truth. i dont like to lose you".

moral of the story : dont bet anything easily without thinking, dont be self-conceit, and believe all are born to protect truth.
