The Mahabharata, "What is found here, may be found elsewhere. What is not found here, will not be found elsewhere". The ancient story of the Mahabharata casts the readers mind across spiritual and terrestrial vistas and battlefields. Through the experiences of divine incarnations and manifest demons, a great royal dynasty is fractured along fraternal lines, resulting in the greatest war of good and evil ever fought in ancient lands. This most venerable of epics remains profoundly timeless in it teachings of truth, righteousness and liberation.

The Mahabharata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India. It is an epic narrative of the Kurukshetra War and the fates of the Kauravas and the Pandava princes as well as containing philosophical and devotional material, such as a discussion of the four goals of life. Here we have Adi Parva, the first, discusses how the Mahabharata came to be narrated by Sauti to the assembled rishis at Naimisharanya after having been recited at the Sarpasatra of Janamejaya by Vaishampayana at Takṣaśilā. It tells the history of the Bharata race traces history of the Bhrigu race. Vyasa is a revered figure in Hindu traditions. He is a kala-Avatar or part-incarnation of God Vishnu.

He is also the fourth member of the Rishi Parampara of the Advaita Guru Paramparā of which Adi Shankara is the chief proponent.

Embark on a Journey Through the Mahabharata: A Timeless Epic of Ancient India The Mahabharata, a sprawling Sanskrit epic, is not just a story; it's a cultural phenomenon that has captivated audiences for millennia. Often compared to the Iliad and Odyssey in its grandeur, the Mahabharata offers a rich tapestry of war, politics, philosophy, and human drama. This comprehensive guide delves into the heart of the epic, making it accessible for beginners and enthusiasts alike. Unraveling the Core Narrative: A Kingdom Divided Our exploration begins with the central conflict – the bitter rivalry between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, two sets of cousins vying for the throne of Hastinapura. We witness the seeds of discord sown through jealousy and ambition, culminating in the infamous game of dice that strips the Pandavas of their kingdom and dignity. Witness the epic's pivotal moments – the thirteen years of exile, the failed attempt at reconciliation, and the inevitable clash that leads to the devastating Kurukshetra War. Beyond the Battlefield: A Tapestry of Faith The Mahabharata is deeply rooted in the religious landscape of ancient India. We delve into the significance of core Hindu concepts like dharma (righteous duty), karma (law of cause and effect), and moksha (liberation). Explore the presence of a vast pantheon of deities, with a special focus on Krishna, the divine charioteer, and his profound teachings within the Bhagavad Gita. Echoes of Strength: Gender and the Women of the Mahabharata Far from mere bystanders, the women of the epic are powerful figures who defy stereotypes. We meet Draupadi, the strong-willed common wife of the Pandavas, Kunti, the embodiment of sacrifice, and Gandhari, a symbol of unwavering loyalty. Uncover the complexities of gender roles within a patriarchal society, the challenges women face, and the strength they display in the face of adversity. A Philosophical Discourse: Unveiling the Bhagavad Gita Nestled within the Mahabharata lies the Bhagavad Gita, a foundational text of Hinduism. We explore the timeless wisdom it imparts, focusing on themes like duty, action, detachment, and the path to liberation. Examine the concept of the Self (Atman) and its ultimate unity with Brahman, the universal principle. Learn how the Bhagavad Gita transcends the immediate context of war to offer a guide for navigating the complexities of life. The Enduring Legacy: A Journey Beyond Words The Mahabharata's influence extends far beyond the written word. Discover the vibrant world of performance traditions that have kept the epic alive for centuries – from Katha recitations to theatrical adaptations and captivating dance forms. Explore the impact of the Mahabharata on visual arts like paintings and sculptures, and delve into its influence on literature, from modern retellings to its global reach through adaptations in Southeast Asia. Uncover the enduring relevance of the Mahabharata in the modern world. How does the epic continue to spark discussions on social issues, inspire political commentary, and offer profound wisdom for personal reflection? This comprehensive guide is just the beginning of your exploration. Dive deeper into unresolved questions, feminist critiques, and the exciting new interpretations of the Mahabharata in the digital age. Embrace the journey and discover why the Mahabharata remains a timeless masterpiece, captivating readers and inspiring generations to come.

It was in 1942 that the late Dr. V.S. Sukthankar was engaged to deliver four lectures on the 'Meaning of the Mahabharata' under the auspices of the University of Bombay. However, the fourth and last lecture was not delivered on account of his sad sudden demise on the morning of the day fixed for it. The Manuscript (Ms.) of these lectures-a veritable treasure to cherish had remained lost to the world of scholars for the long period of fifteen years. It bore the title "Four Lectures on the Meaning of the Mahabharata." This rather heavy-looking title has been abridged here in publication into the substantial title "On the Meaning of the Mahabharata." In a great many places, sentences or paragraphs have been placed in rectangular brackets in pencil. This bracketed material has been retained in the body of this book. Secondly, an alternative word or phrase is occasionally found written with a pencil in the margin along with an underscoring of the relevant word or words in the text. It is thought advisable to retain the text of the script as it stands, leaving such marginal alternatives alone. However, there is one exception: Dr. Sukthankar had rewritten in pencil almost a whole para at the end of the third lecture. This pencil-script is incorporated in the body of the book. A facsimile of this page is reproduced as the frontispiece. An English rendering of the German quotation from OLDENBURG is given in an Appendix for the convenience of the general reader. In Index, I Sanskrit quotations are printed in Devanagari for the benefit of those not quite conversant with the transliteration.

Millennia have passed since the dharma yudhha of the cousins shook the land of Bharata. But this history of our ancestors continues to fascinate us. Even today, we have passionate discussions about the people and their actions in the epic, fervidly defending our favourites and denouncing others. The number of works on the Mahabharata-adaptations, retellings and fiction-that still get written is a testimony to its enduring relevance. While the general storyline is largely known, a lot of questions and myths prevail, such as-What was the geographical extent of the war? Did Drona actually refuse to take on Karna as his disciple? What were Draupadi's responsibilities as the queen of Indraprastha? Did she ever mock Duryodhana? Were the women in the time of the Mahabharata meek and submissive? What were the names of the war formations during the time? What role did the sons of the Pandavas play? Does the south of India feature at all in the Mahabharata? What happened after the war? These and many other intriguing questions continue to mystify the contemporary reader. Author Ami Ganatra debunks myths, quashes popular notions and offers insights into such aspects not commonly known or erroneously known, based solely on facts as narrated in Vyasa's Mahabharata from generally accepted authentic sources. For a history of such prominence and influence as the Mahabharata, it is important to get the story right. So pick this book up, sit back and unveil the lesser-known facts and truths about the great epic.

'Dialogics of Self, the Mahabharata and Culture: The History of Understanding and Understanding of History' explores the interrelationships between individual and cultural historical dynamics in interpreting texts, using key concepts from Bakhtin's theory of dialogics. This ambitious volume discusses the limits of fixed monologic discourses and the benefits of fluid dialogic discourses, and provides a cultural and psychological analysis of the epic Indian text the 'Mahabharata'. The problem addressed by 'Dialogics of Self, the Mahabharata and Culture' is not just how we understand and narrate history, but also how the very mechanism by which we understand and narrate history itself has a history. This volume is about the interplay of several histories - that of the individual, individual's past relationship to the text, which in turn is dependent on the nature of encounters they have had in the past, and the history of the text, and the very history of understanding.
