On the very first day of the war, Duryodhana went to his mother Gandhari for her blessings. Keeping her palm on his forehead, the words Gandhari uttered were not
विजयी भव: [vijayee bhava]may you win
but
Though his mother never blessed 'him' to win, Duryodhana too never left for battle without her blessings.
Such pious mothers who insist that may dharma win, despite knowing their blessings would win the world for their sons and the ideal sons who never refuse to bow to such mothers, are the true children of Bharat Mata.
Despite hearing the stories of her sons being killed one by one, and that of Duryodhana nearing a defeat, her words never changed, not even once during those 18 long days of war.यतो धर्मस्ततो जयः[yato dharmastato jaya ]may dharma win
Though his mother never blessed 'him' to win, Duryodhana too never left for battle without her blessings.
Such pious mothers who insist that may dharma win, despite knowing their blessings would win the world for their sons and the ideal sons who never refuse to bow to such mothers, are the true children of Bharat Mata.
Hari Om!
