๐Story of Guru Dronacharya And Arjuna Or Guru Dronacharya And Arjun Story In English
Long, Long ago, we did not have schools like we have today. Instead there were gurukuls. Boys were sent to gurukuls to study. They had to live with their teacher in an Ashram. The teacher were called Gurus. The boys in an Ashram used to share all the work. The Guru taught them maths, grammar and the holy books. They were also taught horse-riding and the use of bows and arrows.
King Pandu was the king of Hastinapur. He had five sons. He sent his sons to the gurukuls of Guru Dronacharya. The Princes lived with the Guru in his ashram.
Dronacharya was very fond of the five princes. All the five princes were intelligent and attentive. They used to learn whatever he taught them. They were brave and active. Dronacharya taught them many things. He taught them archery as well as to fight with spears, swords and clubs. The princes loved and respected their Guru.
One day Dronacharya took the princes to another part of the forest. He wanted to give them a lesson in archery. He showed the princes a clay bird that he had put on a tree. He pointed to the bird and said, "I want you to pierce the eye of this bird."
All the five pulled out their arrows. They held the arrows in their hands. Dronacharya asked Yudhishthir, the eldest prince, ''tell me what do you see"?
"I see the forest, the trees and the sky" said Yudhishthir.
''What do you see ?" Dronacharya asked Bhim, the second prince.
"I see the stream" said Bhim.
"I can see the sun and the clouds," said the youngest prince. But Arjun the third prince, was quiet.
"What do you see Arjun ?" asked the Guru.
Arjun folded his hands and said, "You have asked me to pierce the bird's eye. Right now I can see nothing but the eye of the bird."
The Acharya was very happy. He blessed Arjun, saying "Arjun ! One day you will be the greatest archer of Hastinapur because you put your heart in the work you do."
Dronacharya's words came true. When Arjun grew up nobody could match him in archery.
