You must be know of Barbarik, the great character of Mahabharata who had such incredible powers that he was capable of ending any major war in a minute.
The dynasty of Barbarik was born of formidable power and extraordinary lineage. Born to Ghatotkacha and Mauravi, he was the grandson of Bhima, one of the Pandava brothers.
From a young age, Barbarik demonstrated kindness, strength, devotion, and remarkable intelligence, he was raised and educated by his mother Mauravi.
Barbarika was blessed with three infallible arrows known as "Teen Baan" from Lord Shiva and a divine bow from Agni Dev, which further enhanced his already formidable power.
His reputation as a formidable warrior stemmed from his incredible skill. Which originated from his ability to end the Mahabharata war in one minute.
Worried, Lord Krishna tested Barbarik's skill, in which Barbarik shot an arrow, which pierced all the leaves of the Peepal tree. A leaf was below Shri Krishna's feet, so the arrow stopped above his feet.
However, there were certain conditions attached to his divine boon, such as, beyond personal self-interest, he would use his power with his divine weapons on the battlefield only for the weaker side.
Realizing the dire consequences of Barbarika's involvement in the war, Lord Krishna decided to intervene. To prevent a disastrous outcome, Krishna requested Barbarika to give his head as Guru Dakshina.
In Rajasthan, Barbarik is worshiped as Khatu Shyam ji. Due to his selfless sacrifice and unwavering faith in God, he was named Shyam. Whoever worships him with a true heart, his troubles go away.
His story, which is not explicitly mentioned in Vyasa's Mahabharata, inspires countless devotees, and is believed to provide blessings in Kaliyuga.
