Dadhichi Rishi donated his bones for the protection of Dharma. Three bows were made from his bones:-
1. Gandiva 2. Sharang 3. Pinaka
Out of which Arjuna got Gandiva, on whose strength Arjuna won the war of Mahabharata.
Lord Rama fought with Sharang and destroyed the tyrannical kingdom of Ravana.
And, Pinaka was with Lord Shiva which was sought by Ravana from the Bhagwan Shiva through penance.
But due to not being able to carry his load for a long time, he had left it in Janakpuri in the middle of the way.
Sitaji used to serve this Pinak daily. It was only after breaking Pinaka that Bhagwan Rama married Mata Sita.
A Vajra named Ekghani was also made from the bones of Brahmarshi Dadhichi, which was received by Bhagwan Indra.
Pleased with Karna's penance, Indra had given this Ekghani Vajra to Karna. In the battle of Mahabharata, Ghatotkacha, the great son of Bhima, was killed by Karna with this Vajra.
Many other weapons were made from his bones. The only message of Dadhichi's bone donation was "O brave Hindus, take up arms and fight against injustice and tyranny and protect your Dharma".
Hail to Satya Sanatan Dharma 🙏

Indore's ruler Subedar Tukoji Rao Holkar I, who defeated Tipu Sultan in the war, is missing from the pages of history.
Take out 2 minutes and read this thread, it will give you goosebumps!
Ruling Period (1795-1797) Tukoji Rao Holkar always assisted his uncle Subedar Malhar Rao Holkar in the war fields.
After Malhar Rao Holkar's death, Mateshwari Ahilyabai made him her commander. He always remained a trusted devotee of Matoshree Ahilyabai Holkar and Peshwa. He was born in 1723.
During Matoshree's reign, he participated in many wars. After Mahadji Scindia's death in 1794, Subedar Tukoji Rao Holkar was the head of the Marathas.
After Matoshree's death, all the rights of Indore state were handed over to Subedar Tukoji Rao. During his tenure, the condition of the state was completely satisfactory.
Subedar Tukoji Rao Holkar was a skilled commander and a brave warrior and a simple living fearless person. He was also honoured by the Peshwa by giving him a place in the advisory committee of 12 brothers.

Faith: Nevertheless; a devotee must also repose utmost faith in it. He or she should also be mentally and physically pure; while reciting it as Hanuman ji is an incarnation of Lord Shiva and also known as epitome of valor, wisdom and learning.
महाभारत के 28 तथ्य, कुछ तो आपको मंत्रमुग्ध कर देंगे तो कुछ आश्चर्यचकित कर देंगे।
1- महाभारत ग्रंथ की रचना महर्षि वेदव्यास ने की थी किंतु इसका लेखन भगवान श्रीगणेश ने किया था। भगवान श्रीगणेश ने इस शर्त पर महाभारत का लेखन किया था कि महर्षि वेदव्यास बिना रुके ही लगातार इस ग्रंथ के श्लोक बोलते रहे। तब महर्षि वेदव्यास ने भी एक निश्चय किया कि मैं भले ही बिना सोचे-समझे बोलूं किंतु आप किसी भी श्लोक को बिना समझे लिखे नहीं। बीच-बीच में महर्षि वेदव्यास ने कुछ ऐसे श्लोक बोले जिन्हें समझने में श्रीगणेश को थोड़ा समय लगा और इस दौरान महर्षि वेदव्यास अन्य श्लोकों की रचना कर लेते थे।
2- महाभारत ग्रंथ का वाचन सबसे पहले महर्षि वेदव्यास के शिष्य वैशम्पायन ने राजा जनमेजय की सभा में किया था। राजा जनमेजय अभिमन्यु के पौत्र तथा परीक्षित के पुत्र थे। इन्होंने ने ही अपने पिता की मृत्यु का बदला लेने के लिए सर्पयज्ञ करवाया था।
3- भीष्म पितामह के पिता का नाम शांतनु था, राजा शांतनु का विवाह गंगा से हुआ था। पूर्वजन्म में शांतनु राजा महाभिष थे। उन्होंने बड़े-बड़े यज्ञ करके स्वर्ग प्राप्त किया। एक दिन बहुत से देवता और राजर्षि, जिनमें महाभिष भी थे, ब्रह्माजी की सेवा में उपस्थित थे। उसी समय वहां देवी गंगा का आना हुआ। गंगा को देखकर राजा महाभिष मोहित हो गए और एकटक उन्हें देखने लगे। इससे क्रोधित होकर ब्रह्मा जी ने महाभिष को श्राप दे दिया। जब महाभिष ने उनसे क्षमा याचना की तब ब्रह्माजी ने कहा- महाभिष तुम मृत्युलोक जाओ, जिस गंगा को तुम देख रहे हो, वह तुम्हारा अप्रिय करेगी और तुम जब उस पर क्रोध करोगे तब इस शाप से मुक्त हो जाओगे।
