Hero of Mahabharat - Arjun

In his Epic, Veda Vyas has described Arjun as the hero of Mahabharat. What he saw in his hero, were certain special qualities as mentioned by BK Savita Behn in one of her talks. These virtues made Arjun a formidable warrior, someone we all can try to emulate.  1)Sahan Shakti, Endurance Power  2)Parivartan Shakti, changing the focus from self to universe  3)Contemplation on Spiritual Knowledge  4)Introspection and endeavouring to rectify one's own faults  5)Shanti, internalising and silencing the mind  6)Bindi Lagana, putting a full-stop on all fantasizing  7) Freeing oneself from Karma Bandhan, control over old Sanskars coming-up  8)Sanghatan Shakti, power of motivating people to co-operate.  For any person to cultivate all these qualities requires that the person should have strength of character, integrity, sense of direction and above all a genuine capacity to allow space to other people. These qualities made Arjun a dear friend of the Lord.
