Namaste,
When the Yaksha asked Yudhishthira whom he wanted revived first, the choice looked obvious — Bhima the strongest, or Arjuna the greatest warrior. Without them, how could the Pandavas win the future war?
Instead, Yudhishthira quietly chose Nakula.
Why?
Because fairness is higher than attachment, and Dharma stands above strategy.
Kunti had three sons alive (Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna).
Madri had none.
So he said,
“Let one son of each mother live.”
In that one decision, he taught timeless lessons:
- Justice must be impartial
- Duty is greater than preference
- True leadership protects equity
- Dharma is not convenience — it is courage
Modern life teaches children to say, “My family first.”
Yudhishthira shows them to say, “Let justice come first.”
This is why Yaksha Prashna matters even today.
It teaches our children not simply what to think — but how to think, even when the heart pulls in another direction.
Tonight, ask your child:
“Would you choose what is right, even if it hurts?”
Let the conversation unfold gently.
