    ARJUN - A BORN HERO
    In Hindu Mythology, life of Arjun was a classic example of discipline, dedication, devotion,
    and leadership quality. He was strong and decisive, at the same time amenable to change at
    exigencies, very respectful and obedient to towards elders and affectionate towards youngers.
    He is an inspiration and hero to emulate for people of all ages, especially for students who
    want to excel in their field, earn name, fame and success in their life.

    In the learning and formative years, a flash of above qualities was visible, when Arjun along
    with his other royal brothers and royal cousin brothers were placed at then disposal of Guru
    Dronacharya for teaching in warfare. Arjun had inclination and fascination for Dhanur Vidya
    (bow and arrow expertise). He had the devotion for his Guru to treat him as God Brahma,
    Vishnu and Maheswar, the creator, the manager and the destroyer respectively and identified
    himself only as disciple of his Guru. Whenever Guru Dronacharya taught any concept and
    technic of Dhanur Vidya, while others disciples remained satisfied what Guru taught them,
    Arjun went on practicing the art relentlessly, till he achieved perfection, the sharpness even
    surprised Guru Dronacharya. To test dedication, devotion towards him, Guru went to the
    river and let a crocodile attack him, while all other disciples fled the spot to seek help from
    others, Arjun took his Bow and Arrow and killed that crocodile. Finally, he emerged as best
    disciple of Guru Dronacharya.
    Arjun was disciplined and obedient to elders, even if he was a great warrior, he never
    overstepped his limit, the ego never touched him. He willingly and unquestionably accepted
    the decision of him eldest brother Yudhishthira when he had to go to the forest for twelve
    years and another year in complete hideout, as per terms and condition of bet game (Pasha
    Khela), he had with cousin brother Duryodhana. The trouble and tribulation of forest life did
    not bother him, neither could derail him from main aim. He knew one day or other war with
    Kouravs was inevitable and he would have to fight against great warriors like his own grand
    father Bhismapitamaha, Guru Dronacharya, Guru Kripacharya, Duryodhana etc. Therefore,
    he took that extreme adverse condition of long forest life as an opportunity to prepare himself
    well for future big war. Even though he was a great warrior and had the capacity to defeat
    entire Kouravs, more so when Lord Krishna Himself was in their side, he never felt
    complacent and took his opponent lightly and went to Swarga Lok to acquired powerful
    weapons from different God. Having got those, he also learnt dancing and playing of Dholak
    from Gandharv of Swarga Lok on advice of Lord Indra that the special skill would help him
    to hide during complete hideout in 13th year. For great warrior like Arjun, it was outstanding
    demonstration of humbleness, foresight and willingness to change himself to handle an
    adverse situation. He also excelled in dancing and playing of Dholak.

    During 13th year and complete hideout, Arjun, along with hi four brothers and wife Draupadi
    took shelter in the palace of king Virat and worked there in different capacity. It was a big
    challenge for dominant personality and great warrior Arjun to keep him unnoticed by others
    and in complete wilderness. But he did it successfully, as it was requirement of the time. He
    played role of a transgender dancer and taught dance to Uttara, the princess of Virat
    kingdom. He was excellent in that art; nobody could know his real identity. Arjun was loyal
    and grateful to those who help him at the crucial time. Therefore, when Kourav Sena
    attacked Virat Kingdom at the end of 13 th year and complete hideout, he fought Virat
    Kingdom behalf and defeated Kourav Sena.
    Like any other human being, he was also sometime fallible and influenced by emotion. But
    great leadership qualities in him let him realize his duty and greater dharma and
    responsibilities very soon and overcome these limitations. This has been amply demonstrated
    during Mahabharat War. Initially, he was hesitant to fight against his near and dear one, his
    respectful grandfather Bhismapitamaha, Guru Dronacharya, Guru Kripacharya etc. and get
    Hastinapur Kingdom at the cost their life. Lord Krishna made him understand that that war
    was not just a war between two groups of same extended family or just to get back
    Hastinapur Kingdom or war against own grandfather Bhismapitamaha, Guru Dronacharya,
    Guru Kripacharya, it was a war for elimination Adharma, injustice and but establishment of
    Dharma, and peace and prosperity Hastinapur Kingdom. Arjun realized it and never looked
    back and led the war from the front. Despite being the greatest Warrior, he was not arrogant,
    not overconfident, neither egoistic. He listened to sage advice given by Lord Krishna, who
    was Sarathi (driver) of his Chariot. He was humble and never lost respect for his grandfather
    Bhismapitamaha, Guru Dronacharya, Guru Kripacharya even if they were the opponent in
    the battle field, his first arrow of any day of war always touched the feet of these great
    people. Finally, he won the battle of Mahabharat. Arjun, is a complete man and Hero.
