Bheema, The Strongest Who Broke Shata Shrunga Into Pieces


bhIma is an avatar (incarnation) of Mukhya Prana (Vayu, the Hindu wind God). He is represented as 'Gyana' (knowledge) amongst the Pandavas. He was born to Kunti Devi and Pandu as Mantra Prasada (gift due to a recitation of a mantra) from Vayu Devaru (Wind God). He was a great devotee of Lord Narayana and he never ever violated the words of Lord Krishna. When he was very young, he slipped from his mother's clutches and fell on the Shata Shrunga Parvata (parvata-mountain) and the mountain broke. He was born with such strength.
