What was the reason behind this strategy?

Drona was a known warrior in the battle of the Mahabharata. He was great at teaching his students the art of warfare and its ways. Drona was aside with Kauravas. He never disrespected the Pandavas.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Abhimanyu<\/strong>, a brave warrior and a celebrated Mahabharata hero, was Lord Krishna&#8217;s nephew and the son of Arjuna and Subhadra. The Chakravyuh plotted against him on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, but a brave Abhimanyu did not lose hope. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">The Prince utilised the techniques taught to him by his father, Arjuna, to defend himself. He failed to protect himself from his enemies. Abhimanyu was unluckily killed on the battlefield only at <strong>16 years old<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Also Read:<a href=\"https:\/\/instaastro.com\/blog\/divine-eavesdropping-the-amarnath-pigeons-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"> Divine Eavesdropping: The Amarnath Pigeon&#8217;s Story<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;\">What is a Chakravyuha\/ Padmavyuha?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">The Chakravyuha is a web that traps one from escaping. It\u2019s similar to a coil with two kinds of tiers: the outer and the inner tier. The outer tier had foot soldiers, and the inner tier consisted of experienced and skilled warriors. This Chakravyuh is set to work. The person who wants to save himself will come close to the walls, where escaping is impossible. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;\">Mahabharata: <\/span><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;\">Drona\u2019s Abhimanyu Chakravyuh\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Dronacharya, the guide of the princes of the Kuru Dynasty, planned the Abhimanyu Chakravyuh or Padmavyuha in the Mahabharata. The Kaurauvas and Drona plotted this against Abhimanyu. They wanted to capture Yudhisthir to defeat the four Pandavas- Arjuna, Krishna, Abhimanyu, and Pradyumn. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Among them, Pradyumn said he would not fight the Kauravas on the battlefield. Abhimanyu knew to enter the Chakravyuh. Unfortunately, he wasn\u2019t aware of how to escape it. Yudhisthira told him they would follow him. The other two left were only Krishna and Arjuna, who were busy saving themselves from the Trigartas, who attacked the Virat Kingdom.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Jaydratha, the brother of the Kauravas, took a boon from Lord Shiva to defeat the Pandavas as they shaved his hair, leaving only some hair on his head. This angered Jaydratha. He sought revenge against the Pandavas. He had taken a boon from Lord Shiva for this.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Lord Shiva granted him the boon, and he kept the other brothers, Bheem, Nakul, Sahadev, and Yudhisthir, aside. This successfully trapped Abhimanyu in the complicated Chakravyuh, where he ended his life fighting against the Maharathis of the Kaurava army.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/instaastro.com\/blog\/why-does-lord-krishna-wear-a-peacock-feather\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Why Does Lord Krishna Wear A Peacock Feather?<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;\">Abhimanyu Chakravyuh: The 7 Great Warriors Who Killed Him<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Here are the warriors who planned to kill him with the help of Abhimanyu Chakravyuh. These people were against the Pandavas from the Kauravas army. Here are they:<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;\">1. Drona: <\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;\">He was the great guide and warrior of the Mahabharata. He vowed to the Kauravas against the Pandavas, creating a Chakravyuh for Abhimanyu, which he had to enter alone.<\/span><\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;\">2. Drumasena: <\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;\">Drumasena was Dushana\u2019s son in Mahabharata. They fought a mace fight, became unconscious and fell. Abhimanyu was slow to stand up. Dushana\u2019s son crushed Abhimanyu under his mace.<\/span><\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;\">3. Kripa: <\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;\">Kripacharya, or Kripa, was a council member of the Kuru dynasty. In the Mahabharata, he attacked Abhimanyu by killing his two chariot drivers. <\/span><\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;\">4. Kritaverma: <\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;\">He was one of the Yadava warriors and one of the Maharathis who killed Abhimanyu&#8217;s horses in the Mahabharata.

Ashvatthama: <\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;\">Ashvatthama was the son of Dronacharaya and a friend of the Kauravas. His father educated him along with the Kauravas and Pandavas. Abhimanyu threw the chariot wheel at Drona; Ashvathhama saved his father by cutting the wheel into two parts. <\/span><\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;\">6. Jaydrath: <\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;\">Jaydrath was the Kauravas&#8217; brother-in-law. He failed to marry Draupadi, and the Pandavs angrily shaved his hair. He wanted revenge and prayed to Shiva for a boon to defeat the Pandavas. After getting the boon, he trapped him in the Abhimanyu Chakravyuh, where he was killed.<\/span><\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;\">7. Shakuni: <\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;\">Shakuni was the maternal uncle of the Kauravas, and he plotted with Duryodhana to kill Abhimanyu in the war.
