A king of a powerful race in an ancient age falls in love with a woman. What he does not realize is that she is no ordinary woman; she is the
incarnation of the great Mother-Goddess, River Ganga herself. Compelled to take human form for one lifetime as the result of a curse, she must
commit a series of terrible unspeakable acts in order to free herself from the curse and return to her true state. The curse forbids her from confiding in her human husband, who is unable to comprehend why she must ...act so cruelly.? Finally, her awful tasks completed, she returns to the natural state of water whence she came. But she cannot abandon her human lover without one final gift: the gift of a son, and a most unusual son at that. This story, and the events it sets into motion, set the stage for the great war and clan-conflict at the centre of the great epic story-cycle of the Mahabharata. But in itself, it is also a beautiful and heart-breaking, yet ultimately inspiring tale of love beyond boundaries and forms. Retold by Ashok in his Mahabharata Series, this stolen tale of love and loss will break your heart, even as it reveals a facet of love rarely witnessed by mortal eyes.
