Mahabharata videos, Part A

This is an account of how karma functions. An event of what will be caused and what will follow. King Shantanu asked Hastinapur to marry him and she said yes, but made him promise he would never question her decisions which he agreed too. They were a happy couple until they had there kid Ganga and she drowned the kid which upset the king. They had 7 more kids which she kept drowning and by the 8th kid he spoke up and asked why. She told him she agreed to 8 celestial mortal spirits. After telling the truth she left with her one remaining son. 

16 years later he missed his wife and son. He was innerupted by sounds of fighting and saw a young man who was great at shooting arrows who wound up being his long lost son, Devavrat. Soon he tried to get remarried was denied because she felt her children would never be king. He was so sad he stopped doing his king duties and his son noticed and decided to take matters into his own hands. 

Prince Devavrat begged the daughter to marry King Shantanu but still said no. All of this led Prince Devavrat to vow that he would never get married or have children. The King recognized his sons sacrifice and granted that his son will be able to die. Death will not be able to touch him.
