Three years have passed since Karna came to patal and accepted Asurguru Shukracharya as his teacher. In these three years Shukracharya has taught him various things. He taught him shukra niti the essence of all his political science. He made him not only learn them but understand the intricacies behind it. The shukra niti has 20 points, from the first look it seems like a set of simple 20 rules but if you think deeply what these 20 points were infinitely knowledgeable. Any king following these will never be cornered by any politics.

Shukracharya also taught Karna yoga and eight limbs of yoga i.e.

1. Yama : the five social ethics kindness, truthfulness, nonstealing, moderation and generousity

2. Niyama : five personal practice purity, contentment, austerity, self study and surrender.

3. Asana : postures it means easy and comfortable position to connect mind and spirit to experience stillness and infinity.

4. Pranayama : mindful breathing.

5. Prathyahara : Turning inward.

6. Dharna : concentration

7. Dhyana : Letting go

8. Samadhi : constant bliss by having complete harmony between oneself and universe.

Karna knew a little about these things but systematic guidance and knowledge has opened him to a new horizons. He became calm truly. He has learnt to truly control his emotions and let go of all negativity he held in some deep corner of his heart. Though karna was always righteous but he was human after all it was basically impossible to ignore all that he faced growing up and till now. He never shown to any one but there was some unrest and dark feeling inside of him too. But all that changed in this three years. He now has harmony within himself. By doing yoga he has adjusted to various changes of his body that happened because of boons. He is now able to truly control his body which he find difficult three years ago. He can lift glass as easily as he can lift big rocks.

Shukracharya has taught him about maya and how to escape them or how to identify them. He taught him information about different powerful maya and Black magic. Maya was something exclusive to asur but Dev's couldn't learn them. A human could learn it upto certain extent by using them as Astra. They were called mayaastra he gave them Karna that.

Shukracharya was going to teach him about politics and political science only but only after few months living with Karna he was impressed by his devotion and hunger of knowledge. He has never seen a human absorbing the knowledge as Karna. He was truly happy getting a deciple that respected him and treat his words as way of living. He once asked who Karna respected most in this world. He thought his answers will be Bhagwan Parshuram or tridevs but he was shocked whe Karna immediately told him his mother Radha. He asked why then karna told mother is equal to tridevs and trideviyan he was confused and told Karna to explain. Karna told him mother give birth and create life like Bhramadev, nurture the child like lord Vishnu, destroy bad habits of child like Maheshwar. She feeds her child like mata Parvati, she gave knowledge like mata saraswati and she took care of needs of child like mata Laxmi. Shukracharya was impressed with him and decided to test him more. Then he asked who among him and Parshuram did he respects the most. Karna told him he respects them equally both are his teacher and he can't discriminate among them. For him he was at same position as his other guru. From that day Shukracharya truly accepted Karna as his students and taught him everything.

Today was the day when three years of education of karna was completed. Shukracharya called karna.

Shukracharya : Putra Karna, your education is completed today. I am glad you have given me opportunity to become your teacher. I have never seen a more dedicated and devoted teacher than you. For your parting gift I want to give you Sanjeevni manta. Accept it as my blessings Putra but use it only after you get my approval. For that you have close your eyes and call me three time and I will respond to you. You can't spread or give this knowledge to anyone.

Shukracharya then chanted the mantra and knowledge of sanjeevni matra appeared inside the head of Karna.

Shukracharya : Now there is nothing else I can teach you Putra. Tumhara kalyan ho Putra now go. I will summon Indradev to take you swarglok for your further education.

Karna : Gurudev you haven't asked for gurudhkhsina how can I leave without it.

Shukracharya : Putra, there is no need of gurudhkhsina from you. Your love and respect for me is enough for me. Do something for me don't kill every Asur that you come across if possible send them to patal. If a asur became threat to you, your loved ones or becomes hurdles to Dharm only then kill them.

Karna : I promise you gurudev.

Shukracharya then closed his eyes and called Indradev. Indradev appered there.

Indradev : Pranipat Asurguru.

Shukracharya : Pranipat Devraj.

Karna : Pranipat Indradev.

Indradev : Kalyan ho, Karna.

Shukracharya : Devraj, I have taught Karna all I could now it's time to bring him to swarglok for his further studies.

Indradev : Thank you for accepting my request at that time.

Shukracharya : No, I am greatfull for your intervention. Because of you I got a great student.

Indradev (smiled) : Putra Karna, now it's time to go to swarg. Summon your chariot without it you can't exit here or enter Swarglok.

Karna summoned the chariot. He then touched the feet of Shukracharya. Shukracharya whole heartedly blessed him. Karna then left for swarglok driving his Chariot on which Devraj Indra was there as his Rathi. They reached swarglok and Indradev took Karna to Devguru brihaspati directly.

Devguru brihaspati resides in palace made of gold. Karna reached there and saw Devguru was sitting on loutus he had a divine aura around him. He has four arms which held a rudraksha mala and a stick in his two hands.

Indradev : Pranipat Gurudev.

Karna : Pranipat Devguru brihaspati.

Brihaspati : Kalyan ho. Karna, you can also call me gurudev.

Karna : Ji gurudev.

Brihaspati : yes that's good. Bhagwan Parshuram has sent you to learn from me. You will learn how to rule, take decision, finances, economic ,train your army and various other intricacies to run a kingdom sucessfully from me.

Karna : Ji gurudev.

Brihaspati : Don't you want to learn my other knowledge apart from this.

Karna : Gurudev, it's upto a teacher what he wants to teach his students. I will just try and learn everything you will teach to me.

Brihaspati : only guru wish is not important but a student devotion is also necessary. If you can prove me that you are worthy of my other knowledge I will also impart them to you.

Karna : Ji gurudev. I will try my best to prove it you.

Brihaspati : Now we have 6 years to complete your education. But I will test you for two yers first in theses two years if you can do what I told you then I will teach you my other knowledge as these two years is enough to learn how to run a kingdom. For these two years you will learn from me during the day and in after noon you will learn from Gandharva. You will learn the art of singing and instrument playing from them. After two years you have to become master of singing and one instrument. You will have no permanent place to stay, you will live in various nagri of Dev's and try to help them with everything you can. You will try to learn from them if they are willing to teach you anything during the night you have to impress me hem first to learn from them. Indradev spread my words to other Devs. Now go and rest in the chamber right to you.

Karna was confused but didn't disobey. It was his guru order so he will follow it. He was as never to deter by challenges and tasks. Bhagwan Parshuram has sent his m here to learn and that what he will do. He gone to chamber leaving indradev and Brihaspati there.

After Karna left.

Indradev : Gurudev aren't you being too harsh on him. Did you doubt his devotion.

Brihaspati : No, Devraj. A filled utensils can't hold anything. Like that karna has every knowledge so if I teach him about other things now it will be nothing but superficial. His mind needs to be motivated, he is a warrior and like many warriors he tends to look down on music and other arts and through them the ones who perform that. He will learn not to that with Gandharva, as they are formidable warrior themselves. He will change his outlook and learn from them. Learning with Gandharva will not only teach him music but also how to run an effecient spy or messenger for his kingdom.

As you know after his fight with Nivatkavacha and polom, Devs here favor him so they will of course teach him not to mention he is son to Suryadev himself. Spread my words that for two years no Dev's are allowed to give Karna any divine astra or anything. There are two reasons behind it. First Dev's can be overly generous whic will do more damage than good. Second karna will never accept anything which he didn't earn from his hardwork and for him, battle of patal wasn't fought for our home but because of Bhagwan Parshuram words so he will not accept it. Tell them to teach him how to use his divyastra to its true potential in these two years. He is good at it but far from what he can do.

A person who can become favourite deciple of Bhagwan Parshuram and impress Asurguru shukracharya to pass on his sanjeevni knowledge willingly, Devraj let alone me even tridevs wouldn't doubt his devotion. I will teach him what I was told by Bhagwan Parshuram in this two years and if he completes my task then I will truly train him.

Indradev : Gurudev how do you so much about Karna.

Brihaspati : Since I get to that he will become my student, I learnt about him and his life to know who he is. I have observed him closely everyday since. I know about his life till now at back of my hand. I know all his qualities, abilities and drawback. He became great warrior and righteous person under guidance of Bhagwan Parshuram. Un Shukracharya he learnt political science and yoga. He found peace and spirituality with him. His only drawback is his lack of interaction with others that are not realated to him in anyways. He is reluctant to come out of his comfort zone on This his matter. These two years will be test for him whether he can remedy that. The knowledge I will provide him for two years will be enough for him to be a good king. But to be a great king his drawback needs no removed from him. Only time will tell whether he can truly pass this test or just complete the task for namesake and if he worthy to get gifts from Devs.

Indradev : I understand gurudev. Please allow me to leave. Pranipat.

Brihaspati : Kalyan ho.

Indradev left. After few hours Karna came out and f chamber. He decided to not waste time and go and find Gandharvs to learn from them. He took blessings of his Gurudev and went to find Gandharvs. After exiting the palace he roamed around the swarglok. He saw its beauty and was taking a walk, after sometime he came across a Gandharv.

Karna : Pranipat Shreemaan Gandharv.

Gandharv : Pranipat. Who are you I have never seen you before.

Karna : I am Radhey Karna. I came here to learn from Gurudev brihaspati.

Gandharv : Oh you are Karna, it nice to meet you. You are hot topic in heaven for last few years. So why have you come to me.

Karna : I was actually searching for a Gandharv actually. Gurudev has told me to learn singing and instrument playing from your kind. I was looking for one to take me to your king so that I can ask him whether he will allow me to learn your arts.

Gandharv : You means to order our king.

Karna : No, I will never do that for will politely ask and if will not allow I will try to prove me worthy of giving a chance.

Gandharv : Why? Don't you think we singers are below you warriors. You are formidable enough you can force us.

Karna : Knowledge is not something gained through force. If you king doesn't wish then I will try to learn by observing him. I am not as kshatriya but a suta I know that no work is big or small. I have struggled my life to prove that. Please take me to your king.

Gandharv : You are interesting. Your thoughts are also interesting let's be friends. My name is Chitrasen.

Karna : I will be glad, I am new here. I want a company. So Mitra Chitrasen will you take me to your king.

Chitrasen : No need, I am the king of Gandharvs. I was just roaming around didn't knew I would stumble into you Mitra Karna.

Karna (shocked) : You are king, so were you testing me.

Chitrasen (laughed) : You can say that.

Karna : So I passed it seems. Will you teach me singing and instrument playing.

Chitrasen : Yes you passed, I have no problem teaching you. But do you have any experience in these arts.

Karna : No, I was only attracted to weapons since childhood. I have no idea about anything.

Chitrasen : So, we hate to start from the basics, what instrument do you want to learn.

Karna : I have only experience in plucking strings of my bow I guess I will try Veena. If I am incapable we can try something else.

Chitrasen : It will be probably for best, Mitra. Veena is most difficult to learn.

Karna : Thanks for your help.

Chitrasen (seriously) : Mitra, I am not asking you as friend but Gandharv king, are you really serious about learning singing and instrument playing. It takes years to learn these things and they are too hard to master. The discipline and concentration required to learn this isn't less than learning weaponry.

Karna : I am serious, I can't guarantee to learn it but I will try my best.

Chitrasen then come to my nagri, we can begin your training now.

Karna : Thanks, I am new here so please can you guide me, Mitra.

Chitrasen : Sure come with me. After your practice I will help you to familiarise with swarglok.
