From here onwards a new method of archery was born and Ekalavya was the inventor of this art which is followed by the world today and which is treated as modern art of archery. See and compare the violent and ruthless nature of Ekalavya with hesitation and despondency of Arjuna in the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Arjuna declared against war and its horrors although he had faced many battles and fought many enemies. He had no fear of war. Here the welfare of humanity was paramount for Arjuna but for Ekalavya, this consideration was meaningless.
He silenced the innocent barking dog whose nature was to bark only. If Eaklavya had got expertise in archery and warfare like Arjuna, it would have been a danger to the entire humanity.
Ekalavya was not alone who failed this test of compassion and humanity. The views of Dronacharya have become buried by the lapse of ages and by the great efflux of time. With his denial the entry of Ekalavya in his Gurukul, Dronacharya tried to restore the faith for the welfare of humanity. The teacher confirmed that he was not stating any new doctrine but was only restoring the divine tradition, the eternal verity handed down from master to pupil.
The great teachers do not teach which can lead to the destruction of humanity. This is the ancient truth and eternal source of all the religions and philosophies. Purpose of teaching should be seen as an issue between right and wrong. Guru works for the side of right. Love and mercy are more powerful than hatred and cruelty.
The intolerable sadness is generally the experience of all those who aspire for the vision of high success and Ekalavya was a victim of this sadness which Guru Dronacharya recognized.

Bhagadatta was the ruler of the kingdom of Pragjotish, located in the territory of modern Burma. Desiring to avenge his father Narakasura, who had previously been killed by Krishna, Bhagadatta agreed to fight against the Pandavas. But despite the help of Bhagadatta, Drona could not captivate Yudhishthira.
On the 15th day of the battle, prompted by Dhritarashtra, Drona decided to use the powerful brahmadanda weapon, which possessed the power of the seven great sages.
Since no one except Drona knew how to wield this weapon or resist it, Drona was invincible throughout the fifteenth day of the battle. Observing everything, Krishna then came up with a cunning plan with which it was possible to break the invincible Drona. Drona, however, did not believe Bhima and went to Yudhishthira for confirmation, knowing that he would not lie under any circumstances. When asked by Drona, Yudhishthira answered a cryptic Sanskrit phrase that roughly meant: Ashwathama died, be it a man or an elephant.
While Yudhisthira was pronouncing these words, at the order of Krishna, the soldiers suddenly blew into the shells, the sound of which absorbed the last part of the phrase.
Believing the news of the death of his son, Drona laid down his arms, got off the chariot and closed his eyes, sat down on the ground. Dhrishtadyumna seized the moment and beheaded Drona. The death of Drona brought great sorrow to Arjuna, as he hoped to capture his dear teacher and thus save his life.

Interesting Facts about Ashwatthama of Mahabharata April 5, Once, the Pandavas and Kauravas were playing with a wooden ball outside. The ball accidentally landed into a nearby empty well.
All of the princes tried to take it out, but it was too deep. At that moment, Drona strolled past them. He watched them and chuckled. Watch, I will take it out with a chain of grass. Saying that, Drona threw a blade of grass at the ball and pierced it. He then pierced the blade of grass with another blade of grass and continued until a chain was formed. Using the chain, he easily removed the ball. The princes were astonished by this impossible feat.
You are truly great. What can we do for you? Accordingly, the princes informed Bhishma about what had happened. Bhishma immediately knew that this was none other than Drona. He personally visited Drona, who told him about everything that had happened. I want you to be their teacher.
I am truly grateful that you are teaching the princes. Bhishma gifted Drona with a house and a lot of wealth. Thereafter, the Pandavas and Kauravas began learning from Drona. Promise me that once you become skilled with weapons, you will accomplish this motive for me. Utter Silence.
Not one of the princes said a word. But then suddenly, the Pandava Arjuna stepped up and vowed that he would accomplish this motive, no matter what it is. Dronacharya started shedding tears of happiness.
As you will see, Arjuna would continue pleasing Drona. Drona began teaching the princes the use of various weapons. Many other princes from across Bharatvarsha flocked to learn from Drona.
However, Karna was actually accepted by Drona. And there Karna put up with Drona, for the purpose of learning arms. Later, he approached Parshuram when Drona refused to grant him the Brahmastra. One of the princes that approached Drona was Ekalavya , the adopted son of King Hiranyadhanus of the Nishadhas. Therefore, I unfortunately cannot accept you. Drona loved Arjuna, but he also loved him son Ashwatthama. Hence, whenever Drona would send his pupils to fetch water, he would give them a narrow-mouthed vessel.
But he gave his son Ashwatthama a wide-mouthed vessel. Ashwatthama was thus able to fill his vessel faster and quickly return to his father. In these little intervals, Drona would teach his son about celestial weapons. When Arjuna learned of this, he started quickly filling his vessel using the Varunastra weapon to summon water.
He would return at the same time as Ashwatthama and receive the same lessons. Once, while Arjuna was eating dinner, a strong breeze blew out the lamps. But Arjuna kept eating in the darkness. At that moment, Arjuna realized that through habit, he could master archery in the darkness as well. Thus, Arjuna began practicing archery at midnight.
When Drona heard the twang of the bow, he approached Arjuna and said:. Drona then started teaching Arjuna how to fight on horseback, on an elephant, on a chariot, and on the ground. Arjuna was taught how to use a sword, javelin, lance, mace, and the dart. A servant with a dog followed the princes. The dog got separated from its owner and wandered into the woods. Suddenly, the dog encountered an adolescent and began loudly barking. The adolescent quickly sent seven arrows into the mouth of the dog, which stopped it from barking.
The dog ran back to the hunting party. When the Pandavas saw what had been done to the dog, they were filled with wonder and awe. Who was this impeccable archer? How could he do this without killing the dog? The Pandavas started searching the woods. In time, the Pandavas came across the boy dexterously discharging arrows from his hunting bow. I am a pupil of Guru Drona. I was rejected by Drona, but I was determined to master archery. So I made a clay statue of Drona and practiced in front of it.
Soon, I mastered archery. The Pandavas told him about Ekalavya. Drona regretted having rejected Ekalavya. But while the other Pandavas were excitedly discussing his feats, Arjuna was in deep thought….
Why then is Ekalavya superior to me? Drona painfully reflected for a moment. Realizing what had to be done, Drona, accompanied by Arjuna, went to meet Ekalavya. Ask for anything, and I shall give it. Drona knew that without his right thumb, Ekalavya would never be as good as before. Arjuna would be able to surpass him in archery skills.
Without hesitation, Ekalavya cut off his right thumb. Ekalavya would continue practicing archery, but he would never be as good as before…. Bhima and Duryodhana became excellent at the mace. Nakula and Sahadeva were the best at swordsmanship. Ashwatthama and Karna also became famed warriors. Yudhishthira became the best at chariot-fighting. But above them all was Arjuna. One day, Drona gathered all the Pandavas and Kauravas for a test.
He placed an artificial bird on the branch of a nearby tree. Yudhishthira drew his bowstring and when Drona asked what he saw, Yudhishthira replied that he saw the bird, the tree, his brothers, and himself. Drona told Yudhishthira to back off and not shoot. Drona called all the other pupils, one-by-one, but they all gave the same answer. Finally, Drona called Arjuna. When Arjuna stood aiming with his bow bent, Drona asked what he saw.
Drona was really happy and congratulated Arjuna. A few days later, Drona and all the princes went to the river to bathe. When Drona was in the river, a crocodile seized him by the thigh. Drona was capable of saving himself, but he asked his pupils to save him. Everyone stood dumbfounded and nobody took action. But Arjuna quickly took his bow and shot five arrows, subduing the crocodile. No other weapon is equal to this.
It has the potential to destroy the Universe. But you must never use it against a human foe. If you do so, the entire universe will burn. This story is told in the Mahabharata, Shanti Parva, Chapter 2. Please give it to me. He also favored Arjuna. I cannot give it to you.
In a short time, the education of the Pandava and Kaurava princes was complete.
