Mahabharat story: Mahabharata is not just a war story, but a deep philosophy of life, religion, karma and salvation. While reading this epic, one thing catches the attention again and again, here the number 18 comes up at every turn. Be it the days of the war, the chapters, the armies or the surviving warriors, everywhere the number 18 seems to be connected like an invisible thread. In such a situation, the natural question arises whether all this is just a coincidence or is there some big secret hidden behind it? Let us understand the events of the Mahabharata period by connecting them.
Where is the figure 18 visible?
In the events of Mahabharata, the number 18 has been repeated again and again from beginning to end.
Mahabharata text: Maharishi Vedvyas, who wrote this epic, has divided it into 18 Parva chapters.
Srimadbhagavadgita: Krishna’s teachings given to Arjun, that is, Geeta also has a total of 18 chapters.
War period: The fierce war of Kurukshetra lasted for 18 continuous days.
Army Number: The total army involved in the war was 18 Akshauhini (11 of Kauravas and 7 of Pandavas).
The remaining warriors: At the end of such a devastating war, only 18 warriors were left alive.
Facilitator: It is believed that the main mastermind behind this entire war was also 18 people.
What is the mathematics and mystery behind this?
From numerology and spiritual point of view, 18 is not an ordinary number. Many interesting arguments are given behind this.
Sum of digits (significance of 9): If we add 1 and 8 (1+8=9), the result is 9. In Sanatan Dharma, 9 is considered a perfect number. This number symbolizes the end and new beginning. This number represents perfection in the form of nine planets, nine Durga and nine devotions.
Karma and Consciousness: Scholars believe that the 18 chapters of Geeta show the way to overcome 18 types of human consciousness and evils. The 18 day war can actually be a symbol of the struggle against the 18 vices running within man.
