Mahabharata - Chidbhavananda

The Mahabharata, chronicled by the sage Vyasa, is an inexhaustible source of wisdom and a pillar of Indian culture. Vyasa, the son of Parasara and Satyavati, is revered as wisdom personified and the arranger of the Vedas. This retelling by Swami Chidbhavananda brings the epic to life, beginning with the Adi Parva and the lineage of King Santanu. It traces the noble sacrifice of Devavrata, the emergence of Satyavati, and the unfolding destiny of the Kuru house. The narrative explores the complexities of human relationships, the pursuit of righteousness, and the intervention of the divine. Ideally suited for students and spiritual seekers, this book distills the vast Itihasa into a coherent and inspiring account.
