Abhimanyu's Chakravyuha

[Guest guest]

Who thought Abhimanyu to enter into the chakravyuha? Was it Lord Krishna or Arjuna? Ive heard that he learnt this when he was in his mothers Womb.

Hare Krsna,

As far as I know:

 

While Abhimanyu was still in the womb, his father, Arjuna, was explaining the process to enter the chakra vyuha to his wife, Abhimanyu's mother, Uttara. She eventually fell asleep so Abhimanyu never learned how to exit the chakra once it closed behind him.

Uttara was not Abhimanyu's mother. Uttara was Abhimanyu's wife. Abhimanyu's mother was Subhadra.
