Chakravyuha Full Movie Download

[Valiant Puga]

TheChakravyuh, besides beinga ohysical formation, would have some mental force too. Placement of key people to create a mental stress of oncoming resistance.

Also, while going in, you had to worry about only the inner rings since the outer rings would be warding off the attach from the outside.

BUT ... while going in ... you had the outer rings trying to prevent you from going out and the inner rings trying to 'kill' you since they have nothing else to do other than concentrate on whats on int eh inside .. which would be You !! .. i mean Abhimanyu.

So getting out was definately far more complicated and 'boring' (evident the fact that Subhadra actually went off to sleep during her 'class' on breaking the Chakravyuh) ..

Also,

I personally dont remember why did Abhimanyu enter the Chakravyuh in the first place and if this Chakravyuh was so effective .. why dont we hear about it after Abhimanyu. Why wasnt it used to simply capture Udhisthir ... the war would have come to a halt with that ??? i wonder ...

The reason why abhimanyu entered was to capture yudishtir only. What was happened only 5 people know to break chakravyuuh they are Bhisma, Krishna, Arjuna , Pradyumna( son of Krishna) and Drona himself. So during the thirteenth day of the war there was a group namely Samshaktaka whom were assigned specifically to distract Arjuna and remove him from the battle place. Duryodana strategised this and asked Drona to capture yudishtira. At this point Yudishtira personally asked Abhimanyu to break Chakravyuh.

@shoooonya,

I dont think getting out of Chakravyuha was any more "boring" than getting in. Subhadra was not a warrior, and was not interested in knowing the nuances of a battle formation. So she fell asleep in between.

Chakravyuha was not made again by Kauravas since they knew Arjun could pierce it. As pointed out by Sriram, it was only when Arjun could be taken away from the battle field for a substantial duration could the Kauravas use Chakravyuha to capture another Pandava. This happened on the 13th day but could not happen again.

but still something is missing....

if there was such a simple stratergy to break the chakravyuha.....why didnt abhimanyu teach it to the other pandavas who were great warriors too.....and if the rings were moving.....then it must have involved a complete force of people....and to shatter it a complete force must fight not abhimanyu alone.....can someone please tell me why did abhimanyu enter the chakravyuha???...what was the purpose???......coz in tv series i hav seen it is shown that chakravyuha is formed to trap the pandavas...but why enter it at all!!!....

@Ankur,

Let me add some more detail to the events.

As Pandavas were gaining the upper hand in the battle, Duryodhan accused Dronacharya of being soft on the Pandavas and not making good enough plans to defeat them. So, Dronacharya decided to create the Chakravyuha formation to capture Yudhishthira. Drona knew that only Arjun in the Pandava ranks knew how to enter and escape from the formation. Hence a group of warriors called Samsaptakas were asked to draw Arjun to a far corner of the battlefield so that he could not attack the Charkavyuha. As the rotating Chakravyuha began to churn through the battlefield, large numbers of the Pandava army began to get slaughtered. Pandavas sans Arjun needed to stop the formation somehow as it would otherwise have caused irreparable carnage amongst their forces. In the absence of Arjun, only Abhimanyu knew how to

enter the Chakravyuha. Hence he was asked to enter it. But since he did not know how to break out of it, other Pandavas promised to follow closely behind him, so that the opening does not close behind him. But after Abhimanyu penetrated into the formation, Jayadratha blocked the way for other Pandavas and they could not support him from behind.

Why did Abhimanyu not teach the way to enter the Chakravyuha to the other Pandavas? Well, I have not encountered the answer to this question yet. But my guess is that the Pandavas might not have expected Dronacharya to use the Charyavyuha formation in the battle and hence might not have discussed the way to enter and exit from it amongst themselves. And when they saw the formation in the middle of the battlefield, Abhimanyu did not have enough time to explain the method of entering it to the others.

The Chakravyuh was formed by Acharya Drona in order to capture Yudhisthir. This moving and rotating chakravyuh would eventually absorb and hence capture Yudhisthir's chariot if not stopped or disrupted. Someone had to do this - stop the chakravyuh and therefore disrupt the stgrategy to capture Yudhisthir. Abhimanyu did just this and halted the march and impact of the Chakravyuh for the entire day. The Kaurava army was frustrated since their plans to capture Yushisthir had failed and Abhimanyu was the cause for this - there was no way Abhimanyu could have been defeated by fighting him one-on-one, therefore multiple warriors had to gang up on him and attack him simultaneously. Since Abhimanyu had penetrated the chakravyuh knowing there were several warriors at its core, the kauravas justified their act by saying that Abhimanyu knew what he was getting into and asked for it himself.

Very interesting blog and ofcourse the topic. Equally interesting discussion and view points. I would like to share my thoughts about "why Abhimanyu could not come out of Chakravyuh?".

After reading/watching everything I could find about chakravyuh, I think one of the major keys to chakravyuh was to kill the warrior in front of view before moving onto the next one. Abhimanyu defeated (but not killed) various warriors like Dron, Kripacharya, Dushashan, Duryodhan, Karna and Aswatthama before reaching the center.

One law of the dharmayudh says, if you are defeated by a warrior then you can't challenge him again and hence Abhimanyu didnot (or could not) kill anyone thinking he won't need to face them later but I think he should have. He knew that he will meet them on his way out but he will defeat them once again.

Duryodhan saw that Abhimanyu single handedly stopped and almost broke their plan of capturing Yudhishthir via chakravyuh. So he asked all major warriors to leave their respective rings (vyuh) and come to center and attack Abhimanyu at once. He could afford that because Jaydrath was holding entire pandav sena at the first vyuh.

If it was Arjun then this wouldn't have happened because Arjun knows that in Chakravyuh, you cannot leave your enemy in a state of fighting back. Moreover Arjun had all the divya-ashtras (Brahmastra, Pashupatashtra, indrastra, etc...) which he could have easily used to kill all warriors of Kaurav sena at once.

So with Abhimanyu, Duryodhan could get all of his major warriors to attack him at once without worrying about anything else.

If Abhimanyu had killed all the warriors he faced before reaching the center or atleast left them in a state where they couldn't fight anymore then I think he could have easily come out of Chakravyuh but probably this is the part he didnot learn.

Ofcourse, these are my views only and I may be totally off-track with this.

Why Abhimanyu was not taught either my Arjun or Krishna how to break the vyuh??

According to Krishna, Abhimanyu is an incarnation of a demon named [Kalayvan] who is capable of killing him at a later point. Abhimanyu's only weakness is his partial knowledge about Chakravyooh. Hence, according to Krishna the Chakravyooh was indeed launched to kill Abhimanyu as this is the only way by which Abhimanyu can attain Moksha. Hence, Krishna never imparts the knowledge of "how to come out of Chakravyooh?" to Abhimanyu inspite of being his guru in Dwaraka. Thus, on the 13th day Krishna does not give any clue to Arjuna that the Chakravyooh is launched by Dronacharya inspite of foreseeing it.

Hi All, this is really a great topic to research upon. however, after reading all this, My question is that why did not not kaurvas continue with the "Chakravyuha" after killing abhimanyu. when their ulitmate aim is to capture yudhisther then they should have continued with their "Chakravyuah". shouldn't they???

and then later why it was not used by pandavas as they had the Arjun & Krishna with them who knew in & out of "Chakravyuh".

@coolneeraj4u,

Thanks for posting a comment.

I will answer your questions.

Why did kauravas not continue with the "Chakravyuha" after killing Abhimanyu?

Answer is - Abhimanyu engaged all Kaurava warriors all day inside the chakravyuha. By the time they killed Abhimanyu, it was almost sunset, when the war was supposed to stop for the day. So they could not continue using the chakravyuha to capture Yudhisthira.

You might ask another question, why did they not create the chakravyuha again the next day? This is because chakravyuha could only be successful if Arjun was not around, which was the case only one one day during the war.

Now to your second question. Why it was not used by pandavas as they had the Arjun & Krishna with them who knew in & out of "Chakravyuh"?

Answer - Perhaps because they did not need to do it. They killed all Kauravas by other means anyway. They might have thought of chakravyuha in case they were not able to beat a kaurava warrior by other means.

Read your blog and loved it .But I am trying to find a few answers for my sons chakravyuha project but facing a wall for the following questions.1.How is chakravyuha related to geometry.2. Differtent Sizes of the 7rings of the chakravyuha.have checked the net and also refered to books.Would appreciate help.

Think about the Chakra vyuha not as a circle, but a spiral. Warriors keep rotating and trap the other side, like sucking through the spiral and killing.

So the entry point is specfic at the tunnel end which should be detected and Abhimanyu first entered and ended up in the center.

Once inside the spiral the warrior ends up fighting army on 2 sides and he will not know which way is going towards center or which was is the exit.

If you know the direction of the spiral and keep your eye on the sun, then a rough direction is known. But if the spiral moves then you lose track. That is why Abhimanyu knew how to enter and not to exit.
