Overview

The ultimate Indian epic! The Mahabharata, the longest epic poem ever composed, is one of the oldest enduring dramas in history. A central scripture in Hinduism, it has twin moral and historical narratives. Sage Vyasa narrates the Mahabharata, an epic war between two branches of a family. The Pandavas and the Kauravas are cousin tribes who claim the right to inherit Hastinapura. The struggle culminates in a terrible battle at Kurukshetra. Embedded in the narrative is a philosophical message to denounce violence and practice tolerance. Krishna emphasizes the importance of righteousness and truth as high ideals. The familial conflict also introduces discussions about the precedence of duty over loyalty. This adaptation has been edited to more closely resemble a novel. The text is presented here for the first time in a way that is easily understood and enjoyable to the reader.
