Скачать или смотреть How Bheem's Arrogance Was Crushed | A Powerful Lesson from Hanuman in the Mahabharata

In the Mahabharat era, King Pandu had five sons. These five brothers were called Pandavas. Bheem was most powerful among the Pandavas. He became very proud of his strength. He felt that there was no one in the whole world who was as powerful as him.
One day when Bheem was passing through a forest his feet collided with an object. When he looked down he found that it was a tail of a monkey. He followed the tail and found an old monkey sitting under a tree.

Bheem addressed the monkey and arrogantly said, ‘O Vanar, move your tail from my path, I have to go ahead’. The Vanar slowly turned his face towards Bheem and said, ‘I have become very old and am also ill. I don’t have the strength to even lift my tail. You seem to be very strong. Please shift my tail aside and proceed on your way.’ Hearing this, Bheem got very angry. Again he said, ‘O Vanar, I will not touch your dirty tail, quickly remove your tail from my path’. The Vanar said, ‘I am very weak, I will not be able to lift my tail. Please shift my tail with your mace’. Then Bheem replied, ‘What if my mace breaks your tail?’ The Vanar laughed and said, ‘And what if your mace breaks while shifting my tail?’

Hearing this retort from the Vanar, Bheem got furious, he felt that the Vanar was making fun of him.
Bheem could not control his anger and tried to shift the tail with the mace, but the tail did not move an inch. Then Bheem placed the mace under the Vanar’s tail and tried to move it with the mace, yet the tail did not move a bit. Bheem tried to move the tail with all his power. He got tired but the tail did not move at all. After a while, Bheem’s mace got stuck under the Vanar’s tail. Let alone shifting the tail, it became difficult to take out the mace.

Bheem realized his mistake. He understood that it was not an ordinary Vanar, since he was not able to move the tail even after using all his strength. Bheem respectfully knelt at the Vanar’s feet and with folded hands asked the Vanar, ‘Lord, you are not an ordinary Vanar. Who are you? Kindly introduce yourself’. The Vanar introduced himself as Hanuman and appeared before Bheem in a gigantic form. Bheem apologised, “Forgive me Mahabali, I had become very proud of my physical prowess and spoke to you rudely. You have shattered my arrogance”. Hanuman forgave Bheem and blessed him.
