Even from epics like Ramayana Mahabharata in our country, one can become financially literate and get investment knowledge (Key investment lessons). The epic Mahabharata, which is an invaluable resource of India, would be crazy to be taken as a mere story or entertainment.

It tells the do's and don'ts of everyday life with such poignant examples that the Mahabharata shows us the shore by acting like a beacon when our lifeboat is found in a storm. Apart from the right and wrong aspects of behavior and thoughts, the Mahabharata also tells us invaluable Panchasutras for financial investment, let's see which are the Panchasutras.

Key investment lessons: Mahabharata and the five principles of financial investment!

1. Five Pandavas are always heavier than a hundred Kauravas!

In the Mahabharata, the Kauravas were a hundred, the Pandavas only five before them. But in the end, who won? Of the Pandavas. Because the Kaurava army is huge, to differentiate between them.

Effective implementation of a decision is not possible due to such a large number. On the other hand, since there are only five Pandavas, it is very easy for them to be in harmony with each other.

All five brothers had different abilities. These abilities were fully utilized and they were victorious.

This formula is also important for your investment. Suppose you are investing in the stock market, then if you hold the shares of many companies at the same time, you will not pay proper attention to their ups and downs, the market news about them. The blow can fall on us.

On the other hand, if you take stock of very few but good quality companies in a prudent manner, it will be easy to keep a close eye on them and you will get good long term returns as they are top stocks.

2. Nothing to see without a bird's eye!

When Guru Dronacharya decided to test the archery of Kaurava Pandavas, a wooden bird was placed on a tree. He ordered them to aim at his eyes.

'What do you see?' The rest of the answers to Guru Drona's question were 'trees, leaves, sky, etc.' and Arjuna answered that only 'bird's eye' is visible.

It is well known that Arjuna is still regarded as the best archer. What does this have to do with investment? Of course there is.

When you make a long-term investment, you have a fixed time frame.

It is during this time that we should focus on Arjuna. If you start to hear the daily news of stock market fluctuations, or even hear its free 'tips', you will be distracted and sell your long term investment and nothing will come of it.

If you do not have complete control over your concentration, there is no better way than mutual funds. Invest in a good fund and stay calm.

3. The Pandavas did not enter the field without divine weapons

In the battle of Kurukshetra, the warriors who fought from Kauravasena in front of the Pandavas were very brave and daring. His own grandfather Bhishmacharya, Guru Dronacharya and many other Rathi Maharathi stood against him.

It is true that Lord Krishna was on the side of the Pandavas at that time, but the Pandavas had acquired divine weapons with great diligence in order to stand strong and strong in battle.

The victory of the Pandavas in the battle of Kurukshetra was due to the advice of Krishna and the power of divine weapons.

When you step into the market to invest and start investing without any knowledge, your huge loss is inevitable.

It doesn't take long for Rao to rank. Our divine weapon in this battle is our knowledge.

Investing without knowing the market is suicidal. Either you need a thorough knowledge of investing or you need to know exactly who owns that knowledge.

Investing in good mutual fund schemes is like recognizing a wise man and handing over the reins of your investment to him.

4. Saying 'Risk hai to ishq hai', it is madness to gamble at home, world and wife

Unaware of Shakuni Mama's diplomacy, Yudhishthira, who went to play Dhyut, lost his kingdom, his property, his brother and even his wife and all of them had to go into exile for 14 years.

The same is true of investing. Saying 'Risk hai to ishq hai' without taking the troubles and making hasty decisions, if you keep making hasty decisions, the entanglement will increase and you will become a millionaire overnight.

It is good to earn once slowly and in small amounts, but it is never good to lose in one go.

5. Partial knowledge is always more dangerous than ignorance, can make your 'Abhimanyu'!

Abhimanyu, the son of Arjuna and Subhadra, had mastered the art of piercing the chakras while in the womb. But, while Arjuna was saying this, Subhadra fell asleep and Abhimanyu only learned the art of penetration, not to get out of the whirlpool.

While the elders were telling in the battle of Kurukshetra, Abhimanyu stubbornly went into a whirlpool and lost his life.

The same is true of investment knowledge. Ignorance will keep you away from investing by scaring you once, but partial knowledge will force you to make wrong decisions by creating undue confidence.
