Sanjaya’s Live Telecast of the Mahabharata War:

Sanjaya, the son of Gavalgana, was an advisor in the Mahabharata epic. He possessed divine vision and described all the ongoing events of the war to King Dhritarashtra. He served as Dhritarashtra’s advisor and charioteer. This suggests that scientific knowledge during the Mahabharata era must have been quite advanced compared to our present times.

Abhimanyu: The Warrior Born in the Womb:

There is a story in the Mahabharata where Subhadra, while pregnant, inquired about the secret of entering the Chakravyuha (a military formation) from Arjuna. Arjuna explained the entire strategy in detail, and Abhimanyu, who was developing inside the womb, listened to these words. However, before Subhadra could learn the exit strategy from the Chakravyuha, she fell asleep. Consequently, Abhimanyu learned the entry process but missed the opportunity to learn the exit strategy. Modern science also supports the notion that when a child is in its mother’s womb, it begins to learn many things.
