The Yaksha Prashna episode in the Mahabharata is a powerful dialogue between Yudhishthira and a divine being disguised as a Yaksha. It tests not physical strength, but wisdom, dharma, and spiritual insight. As Yudhishthira answers a series of profound questions on life, death, virtue, happiness, and truth, he proves that calm reasoning, ethical conduct, and inner restraint are the highest virtues. Despite losing all his brothers, he remains composed, prioritizing righteousness over emotion or attachment. The episode demonstrates that knowledge and dharma—not wealth or power—are what truly protect and elevate a person.
For children and youth, it is a timeless lesson that choices rooted in truth, fairness, and respect for universal laws lead to long-lasting strength and peace.
Mahabharata includes such episodes to shape inner character, nurture critical thinking, and help future generations face challenges with clarity, morality, and grace.
