The Divine Ascent of the Pandavas and the Secrets of Heaven – A Deeper Revelation from the Mahabharata part 3

The Divine Vision of Yudhishthira

When Yudhishthira reaches heaven, divine visions unfold before his eyes. The sages, deities, and celestial beings appear resplendent in their light forms. He beholds Lord Krishna in His supreme radiance, adorned with divine brilliance. The Pandavas, now freed from the mortal coil, appear luminous—Bhima glowing like a mountain of fire, Arjuna shining beside Krishna, and Nakula–Sahadeva radiant with the Ashwini Kumaras.

Draupadi, the queen of virtue, manifests as none other than Goddess Lakshmi herself. Her luminous form captivates the heavens. It is revealed that she was an incarnation of Lakshmi, born on Earth to assist in restoring dharma. Lord Shiva Himself had declared this divine secret.

As Yudhishthira moves further, he witnesses countless deities—the 12 radiant Adityas, the sages, and warriors of light—each seated in their rightful celestial abode. The divine world is not a mythic heaven in the clouds but a vast multidimensional realm, where the light of consciousness takes form.

Divine Lineages and Cosmic Roles

Here, Vyasa explains to King Janamejaya that the Pandavas and other great warriors were partial incarnations of celestial beings. The gods themselves sent their energies to Earth in human forms to protect dharma.

·       Indra sent his son Arjuna.

·       Vayu sent Bhima.

·       Yama incarnated as Yudhishthira.

·       Ashwini Kumaras manifested as Nakula and Sahadeva.

In contrast, the demonic energies from the lower worlds—Patala and Rasaatal—sent their own souls to oppose dharma. Hence, the Earth became a battleground between divine and demonic forces. The Mahabharata was not merely a war—it was a cosmic cleansing.

The Heavenly Abodes and the Divine Aircraft

An astonishing revelation appears in the dialogue: Yudhishthira learns that his father, King Pandu, often traveled by divine aircraft (vimana). This is a reminder that even thousands of years ago, celestial technology existed—not mechanical as we imagine today, but subtle, light-based transport used by souls in higher planes.

Thus, what we call “UFOs” today were already known as vimanas in the age of Mahabharata. The subtle realms of heaven still function with such light technology even now.

The Reunion of Great Souls in Heaven

Bhishma Pitamaha is seen seated with Dronacharya and Brihaspati, resplendent in their light bodies. King Pandu, Gandharvas, and noble warriors are also present. Yudhishthira sees how all righteous kings, through their purity of mind, speech, and deed, attained heavenly realms.

Vyasa clarifies that heaven is vast—far beyond human comprehension—and has multiple layers. Just as the Earth is spherical, heaven too is a multidimensional sphere filled with radiant civilizations.

The Return to the Original Divine Form

Then comes the deepest revelation: once the effects of karma are over, every soul returns to its original divine nature.
Vyasa says to Janamejaya:

“When the fruits of actions are exhausted, all beings return to their original source.”

Thus, Bhishma, who was an incarnation of one of the eight Vasus, merged back into his divine Vasu form.

·       Dronacharya merged into Brihaspati.

·       Kripa entered the sphere of the Maruts.

·       Pradyumna, son of Krishna, merged with Sanat Kumar.

·       Abhimanyu returned to the moon, his source.

·       Shakuni merged into fire (Agni).

Each soul returned to its cosmic origin once its earthly mission was complete.

The Celestial Destiny of Divine Beings

Lord Balarama, being the incarnation of Anant Dev (Sheshnag), returned to Rasaatal, the subtle world below the Earth, which he governs in balance with cosmic energies. Through the yoga of Brahma, Anant Dev sustains the Earth.

Lord Krishna, the eternal Narayan, returned to His supreme abode after the completion of His divine play (leela). His 16,000 queens, upon leaving their mortal bodies by the Saraswati River, ascended back to the higher heavens, reunited with the Lord in the divine realms.

The Meaning of Heaven and the Journey of the Soul

The Mahabharata here teaches that heaven (Swarga) is not permanent. After enjoying celestial pleasures, souls must return to the cycle of birth unless they have attained Brahma Gyaan (knowledge of the Supreme). Without this supreme realization, even gods remain within the cycle of creation.

The real heaven, therefore, lies in the state of Paramshanti (supreme peace)—when the soul realizes its eternal, immortal nature beyond the body, beyond religion, beyond time.

The Hidden Message for Humanity

Bapuji Dashrathbhai Patel explains that these ancient tales are not mere stories but encoded cosmic histories. The Mahabharata represents the universal principle of karmic resolution and soul evolution.

The deeper message:

“Those who attain knowledge of the Supreme (Brahma Gyaan) transcend heaven itself and merge into infinite divine consciousness.”

The Call of the Time – Awakening of Divine Souls

Today, humanity stands at a similar turning point. Just as dharma was restored in the age of Mahabharata, now too the 33 crore divine souls and awakened beings are re-emerging. The call of the time demands awakening.

Across religions and nations—whether Hindu, Muslim, or Christian—souls are rising beyond boundaries. The coming age is one of unity and light. Every soul must now awaken to its divine origin and spread Paramshanti (supreme peace) to the world.
