$50 – $90Day One: Subhadra Haranam from the Mahābhārata
Subhadra Haranam (Abduction of Subhadra) was written by Mandredath Namboothiripad (1851-1906). This story is based on Mahābhārata. The story of Subhadra Haranam is a chain of events that leads to Arjuna’s marriage with Subhadra (Krishna’s Younger sister). Arjuna broke a vow and went on a year-long pilgrimage, during which he fell in love with Krishna’s sister, Subhadra. Disguised as a saint, he stayed at Dwaraka. With Krishna’s help, he eloped with Subhadra while Balarama was away, knowing Balarama wouldn’t approve the marriage.
