Vyasa:Satyavati’s first child is - Vyasa. God has to cloak his consciousness in order to conceive creation thus Vyaasa is black. He has to project His Singular Reality into the idea of Duality. This represents Vyasa, the Power to perceive and discern the differentiation from Singularity and Duality. This is done through the two wives that he eventually weds. -
Vyaasa has been categorised through his various attributes.Vyasa, the sage to whom the Mahabharata is attributed, is a figure of intrigue. He is supposed to be the creator of the poem, but appears as a character as well.
wecan identify Vyasa from three aspects:
Vyasa As Person:The historical Vyasa is given to us as the prime compiler of the Mahabharata. There is argument as to whether or not Vyasa was a singular person, and there always will be.Aquestion also arises what guides Vyasa to write mahabharata and also be a part of it.
Vyasa as a Character in the Mahabharata:Vyasa was the progenitor of the Pandavas and the Kurus in the Mahabharata. This circumstance is shown in the poem, as well as Vyasa’s actions throughout the poem.In the Mahabharata Vyasa the character never is seen telling the tale. As pointed out above, Vyasa must have involved himself in the telling of the tale to pass it on, or to write it down in history. In the Mahabharata, however, the tale is always being told by someone else. Vyasa takes an active participation throughout the poem, but never tells the tale. This distinction is what separates the person from the character.
Vyasa as Poet:Vyasa as poet is the combination of Vyasa as archetype and Vyasa as person. Vyasa in writing the Mahabharata used the psychological mode of creation to write or collect what he knew about events and people(including himself), but in the visionary mode he was taken by the drive to write the unfamiliar as well.
Many questions remain unanswered about Vyasa who remains explained as a figure of intrigue.He does not fight the war but remains an active quotient in the fight and depiction of this fight.Vyaasa sees the gita being explained to Arjuna by krishna.Is vyasa who writes the mahabaharata an allegory or a refined individual.Why does he ask Ganesh to write the mahabharata for him.What can be meaning of telling the mahabharata in one go and never to stop as ganesh writes.Does this continuous motion represent time.Do you think Vyasa stopped dictating durin the mahabharata.What happens to vyasa after the war.
