Acquiring divine weapons in the Himalayas

Internal or external journey? Karn Malhotra as Sudarshana

In the Mahabharata Arjuna spends time in the mountains meditating and acquiring divine weapons. His steadfast concentration and intense mental focus are legendary, given that he was (arguably) the best archer in the world at the time. However, one can’t help wondering that wandering off into the mountains was less about mystical revelations and magical powers, as it was about creating strategic alliances and confederacies with the mountain dwelling clans and tribes. The acquisition of power might have been less about divine interventions and heavenly gifts from gods, and more about learning new modes of warfare and innovative tactics from the constantly warring clans of the region. So is this journey of acquiring divine power an internal or external one? In Ultimate Kurukshetra, this is the question that confounds Sudarshana, as he searches for answers. His search takes him away from the blissful seaside of Gomanta, to the icy scree of the Himalayas, to the scrub of the final battle at Kurukshetra. As he learns to manipulate time (sometimes knowingly and mostly unwittingly) he makes a profound discovery.
