In the history just about to many thousands of years ago contains many wars and many moments.. Among all those some are forgotten and some kept live as it was just yesterday..... Mahabharat was one of those which may never be forgotten.... The furious warriors , the deadly weapons , politics , shrimad Bhagwat Geeta and the knowledge of Warcraft and warfare.... Even all the characters of the Mahabharat have there own life history itself...
. ( Asirgarh Fort)
. ( Lord shiva temple inside the Asirgarh Fort where Aswathama might be worshipping )
But among all those warriors there was an warrior whose history had been forgotten... Only even few know about him.... His name is
Aswathama.....
Aswathama was son of Guru Dronacharya and grand son of sage Bharadwaj... He was born in cave, forest (currently Tapkeshwar mahadev temple,Dehradun Uttrakhand) . Drona does many years of severe penance to please Lord Shiva in order to obtain a son who possesses the same valiance as Lord Shiva. He had a mani at centre of the forehead which was able to heal his body from any injury and was even capable to give energy by itself so that Aswathama had no need to feed or drink at all.... Can u imagine a warrior how can fight day and night even not get tierd or hunger... He was one of the most deadly warrior of Mahabharat... After killing all the childrens of Pandava lord Krishna cursed him and toke out his mani (gem which was his Mian sourse of power)...
The curse was he will live for the end of the world but in such a way so no will love him he will suffer from many disease and no matter how much he will eat his hunger will never be ended no matter how much he try he will never feel fullfil... This was might be the greatest punishment ever given to any one.. After all of these he left kurukshetra and hid in jungle.... After that there was no trace of Aswathama.... No book ever reffer any signs of him Until some local theories came out...
In the past after the end Mahabharata Aswathama continuously visited many baidyas( ayurvedic doctors) and no had his cure but his search for the cure never end he traveled across the sea and mountains for searching the cure of his disease at the early of 19s a doctor in Madhya Pradesh claimed to have a tough patient with a septic forehead. After several applications of a fail-proof potion, the wound was still fresh and kept bleeding. Amazed at this, the doctor said that his wound seems ageless and cure less. He added, by saying, “I wonder, are you Ashwathama”, and laughed.When he turned to apply the next doze, he found the patient seat empty. The patient just disappeared into thin air - the story it was claimed was true.
On periods of 18s when there was British government ruling India some horrifying incident came out that there was a man of 7ft hight with blue eyes living among some conservative tribes at the bottom belt Himalayas. There was great yogi named as the Pilot baba who claimed he had a meeting with the Aswathama and who had a bad injury on his forehead and at every morning he performed puja to Shivalinga...
There was another story of a restaurant owner which give a twist to the presence of Aswathama...according to locals a very tall man with noticeable dent in his forehead and in the middle of his forehead visits a restaurant owner once every year, somewhere on the foothills of the Himalayas.Only once a year, he goes and eats "all" the food prepared by the owner and drinks a minimum of 100 litres of water. These "claims" have been made by locals who see the man every year.The villagers on the other hand "claim" that the man after quenching his thirst and anger then quietly disappears in the forest only to "appeare" next year.
Apart from this many years ago
As written in Prithviraj Raso,When in 1192, Prithviraj Chauhaan while the battle from Mohammad Gauri, he left for jungle.Where PRITHVIRAJ met an old person with a horrible scar on his head. Being a very good doctor himself(Prithvirajchauhan),he asked ashwatthama that he can cure his scar.The old man agreed. But even after week long medication, it remained as it is. Prithviraj was surprised and it struck him that this old man could be Ashwathama because only the wound created by taking out the mani, could have made this incurable wound. He asked the old man if he was Ashwathama and the old man agreed and left right away.This description is given in “Prithviraj Raso” the BOOK written in 12th century on him.”
Apart from all those there are some recent evidence of Aswathama in Madhya Pradesh... Asirgarh Fort is an Indian fortress situated in the satapura range about 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of the city of Burhanpurn the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. Inside the fort there is temple of lord shiva also known as gupteswar shiva Mandir, the most interesting thing is there is only one narrow entrance to the temple...
As per local priest who regularly do worship at the temple he said ' every night after completing all the rituals I cleaned every corner of the temple left the by locking it out from outside of the maintenance, next-day when I come to temple after unlocking it some how there were flowers and water had been offered to the Shivalinga with proper rituals, no one ever seen the person who does this'. Apart from this some locals had seen one man of tall hight covering his body with scarfs travels across the jungle near to the fort .. after all these evidence of mystic man had been seen at those areas an Indian news channel had been there searching for an trace for Aswathama they placed hidden cameras at everywhere at the fort and the temple... Some how between 3am to 4.30 am the cameras were didn't work and between that time when journalist and specialist went inside the temple they found tha rituals was already done....
Some locals of Ashighar area claimed that sometimes at full moon night they hear pain full screaming of a man inside the jungle near to the Ashighar fort....
I did some research on it though hence it was difficult to find him cuse he have the ability to be invisible (according to the scriptures of Mahabharat). If Aswathama was able to be invisible then why He appeared time to time and if the character is not in alive then who are those people... It will ever be a mystery that is Aswathama is alive or not. What do you think... Let me know in the comments.
