His aim is to make the Arjun as the one of the top skilled in the archery all over the world. As the daily practice , drona achaarya was teaching the archery in the jungle, a little boy came can introduce himself as the Ekalavya, a prince from kirat kingdom and told that he came from far place to learn the . He pleaded to teach the archery to the guru drona achaarya, but drona achaarya said that he was not going to teach the archery to sudras. Ekalavya was frustrated, but he determined to learn the dhanurvidya(archery) and went to forest. He made a statue of drona achaarya and started to meditate and practice inside the forest. Year passed later arjun and his brothers were practicing the dhanurvidya(archery) their dog run inside the forest , after few minutes dog returned with bunch of arrow inside the mouth. Drona archaarya was surprised. Only a high skilled person in archery can do that, not even arjun also can do it. Drona achaarya and pandavas search all over the forest and found that a boy was practising archery in front the drona achaarya statue. Guru drona achaarya was surprised. He told to compete with the arjun for test of skilled. Arjuna was badly defeated. It make arjun feel bad and complain to Guru Drona that he didn't teach all the skilled. But Drona himself was in surprise. He asked Ekalavya for the guru daksina( Pay for learning Skill from guru). Eklavya said that he will give what guru asked as the guru payment.Drona asked for the thumb finger of right hand, so that ekalvya will be unable to do better performance in whole life. A little boy Ekalavya with the shine of blade, cut his finger and gave to the guru as gurudakshina. He returned forest for further practice.
The Mahabharat war completed in 18 days, lot of heavy casualties and loss of life. Guru was killed by sisya( follower). Brother kill brother, family destroyed, warlord and lot of king loss life. So become lifelong wounded and some was alive who was showing boasting . So finally pandavas won the war. Pandavas brother started to show their courage to own self and became proudy and claims to be superior than other during war and started to quarrel with each other. They ask to yudhisthir by whom we get victory. Arjun claimed himself , bhim ownself and other brother too. Yudhisthir was confused and he said that ask with krishna. Krishna said that go and ask to head of Ekalavya who was watching all the war from top of mountain. Pandavas brother ask to Ekalavya, By whose effort and bravery we get victory in war. Ekalavya laugh and said that , i don't see any courage and bravery in any of you brothers to be feel proud. I saw only Sudaarsan chakra of krishna and then mahakali devi killing and sucking blood of all who was in war. This means that Ekalavya was the only one who was capable of changing the fate of Mahabharata.Lesson from Ekalavya story:
  1. Once spoken words can be the worth of taking own life.
  2. How much powerful you are, never be proudy.
