Mahabharata

There are number of heroic things that Arjuna do in Mahabharata. The list is long and beyond the scope. Better you read the Mahabharata. Rather study the Mahabharata.

Because their mother said so.

Arjuna won Draupadi in an archery/bravery competition. When he returned home with the prize, his mother (not knowing that the prize was a girl) told the 5 brothers to share it equally. Thus, draupadi became the wife of all the 5 brothers

Very few people know that, but Mahabharata states that although it was fought in India people from other states & countries also took part in it. Mahabharata was fought between 40 million people. So people of Egypt were likely to be part of it.

Gandiva is the bow used by Arjuna. The bow was given by Lord Agni.

Nitish Bharadwaj ^

Many celestial weapons in the Mahabharata had names, but I don't think the bow at the Swayamvara of Draupadi has one. The reason I say this is that Arjuna, who won the bow, didn't use it; the name of his bow was the Gandiva ("that which cannot be taken away") which was given to Arjuna by the god Agni after helping him consume a forest. At the end of the Mahabharata, when the five Pandavas trekked up the Himalayas to ascend to heaven, Arjuna returned Gandiva to Agni but throwing it into a lake occupied by the water god Varuna. I didn't really answer your question though :-/

pandu and kunti

and Maadri (second wife of Pandu)

krishna's sister and Arjuna's wife too

forgiveness leads to peacefulness.

Dritharashtra. Father of 100 Kauravas

They provided important lessons that impacted their lives to be perfect or utopian. It also gave central beliefs in Hinduism to influence the Hindus to better lives
Because Mahabharata is an Ancient epic poem. It was written by the scholars of Ancient time, thus it is called the best reflection of Ancient times.

MAHABHARATA NOUN See All Nouns, See All Categories Mbh.3.24.1160 Here is this lake, full of sacred water, called Dwaitavana, abounding with flowers, and delightful to look at, and inhabited by many species of birds. Mbh.3.24.1164 Let us go that sacred and celebrated and large lake called Dwaitavana Mbh.3.24.1165 Vaisampayana continued, Then the virtuous son of Pandu, accompanied by numerous Brahmanas, all went to the sacred lake called Dwaitavana. Mbh.3.36.1898 Glad of the advice given him by Vyasa, the son of Kunti then, leaving the wood Dwaitavana went to the forest of Kamyaka on the banks of the Saraswati. Mbh.3.235.11902 It hath been heard by us, O monarch, that the Pandavas are now living on the banks of the lake called Dwaitavana, with a multitude of Brahmanas, having the wilderness for their home. Mbh.3.236.11918 Or, if the king understands our motives, he will never, having regard to the future, grant us permission, for, O thou of great effulgence, we can have no other business in the woods of Dwaitavana than the destruction of the Pandavas in exile! Mbh.3.236.11934 Our herds are now waiting in the woods of Dwaitavana in expectation of thee! Mbh.3.236.11939 Our herds are now all waiting in the woods of Dwaitavana expecting thee. Mbh.3.237.11977 And as the mighty-armed prince started for beholding the lake that was known by the name of Dwaitavana, the citizens of Hastina, also accompanied by their wives began to follow him to that forest. Mbh.3.237.11980 And reaching the lake Dwaitavana with all his followers and vehicles, king Duryodhana took up his quarters at the distance of four miles from it Mbh.3.238.11993 Drinking milk and enjoying, O Bharata, various other delicious articles and beholding, as he proceeded, many delightful forests and woods swarming with bees inebriate with floral honey and resounding with the notes of the peacock, the king at last reached the sacred lake of Dwaitavana. Mbh.3.238.12004 And those warriors who formed the vanguard of the Kuru army, hearing these words of the king, went back to the lake of Dwaitavana and addressing the Gandharvas, said, The mighty king Duryodhana, the son of Dhritarashtra, is coming, hither for sport. Mbh.3.255.12560 And that high-souled one filled with anxiety, made up his mind to abandon the woods about Dwaitavana abounding with ferocious animals. Mbh.3.308.15125 Vaisampayana said, Having defeated the chief of the Saindhavas, and rescued Krishna, and having outlived the entire term of their painful exile in the woods, and having listened to the ancient stories about gods and Rishis recited by Markandeya, those heroes among men returned from their asylum in Kamyaka to the sacred Dwaitavana, with all their cars, and followers, and accompanied by their charioteers, their kine, and the citizens who had followed them Mbh.3.309.15127 Vaisampayana said, Having felt great affliction on account of the abduction of Krishna, king Yudhishthira of unfading glory, with his brothers, left the woods of Kamyaka and returned to the delightful and picturesque Dwaitavana abounding in trees and containing delicious fruits and roots. Mbh.3.309.15129 And while those repressers of foes, the virtuous king Yudhishthira, the son of Kunti, and Bhimasena, and Arjuna, and those other sons of Pandu born of Madri, were dwelling in Dwaitavana, practising rigid vows, they underwent, for the sake of a Brahmana, great trouble, which, however, was destined to bring about their future happiness. Mbh.4.4.111 And let all of them say, We do not know where the Pandavas have gone leaving us at the lake of Dwaitavana Mbh.5.23.1016 Do they remember the disgrace that was theirs when under evil counsels they came to the woods of Dwaitavana on pretences.

Then they did not seem to have the practice of surnames.

However in addition to their given name they were also known by their father or mother in a way.For example Krishna was also known as Vaasudeva, indicating that he is son of Vasudeva.

Another example is Arjuna was also addressed as Kaunteya, indicating that Arjuna is son of Kunti.

Many such examples can be drawn.

The Bhagavad-Gita is included in the sixth parva of the Mahabharata, the Bhisma Parva. It takes up chapters 25 through 42 of that book. The Critical Edition of the Mahabharata was produced by the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Pune between 1919 and 1966. This version is the one used by scholars. However, an English translation by Kisari Mohan Ganguli published from 1883 to 1896 is now in public domain and available online.

Lord Krishna says that you give up the desires or cravings for material things. He further says that you have the same attitude in loss and gain. You do the work or deeds with by being in the state of yoga. The attitude of 'equality' towards the loss or gain, that you get is called as Yoga. (When the results of your actions are not in your hand, you will go mad as you do not get the desired results. So it is better to do the best and accept the results, open heartedly, with out any prejudice. Accepting the positive and negative results as 'equal' is called as Yoga. You have to do your work or deeds by being in the state of Yoga.) (World is not made to fallow your desires. Every body is free to do the deeds and go for his own conclusions about what you say. So accept the same in right spirit or sportingly. Not to fear the criticism or get elated by the positive results that fallow, for example!)
