Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Narayan makes this treasury of Indian folklore and mythology readily accessible to the general reader . . . he captures the spirit of the narrative.”—Library Journal The Mahabharata tells a story of such violence and tragedy that many people in India refuse to keep the full text in their homes, fearing that doing so would invite a disastrous fate upon their house. Covering everything from creation to destruction, this ancient poem remains an indelible part of Hindu culture and a landmark in ancient literature. Centuries of listeners and readers have been drawn to The Mahabharata, which began as disparate oral ballads and grew into a sprawling epic. The modern version is famously long, and at more than 1.8 million words—seven times the combined lengths of the Iliad and Odyssey—it can be incredibly daunting. But contemporary readers have a much more accessible entry point to this important work, thanks to R. K. Narayan’s masterful, elegant translation and abridgement of the poem. Now with a new foreword by Wendy Doniger, as well as a concise character and place guide and a family tree, The Mahabharata is ready for a new generation of readers. Narayan ably distills a tale that is both traditional and constantly changing. He draws from both scholarly analysis and creative interpretation and vividly fuses the spiritual with the secular. Through this balance he has produced a translation that is not only clear, but graceful, one that stands as its own story as much as an adaptation of a larger work.

Why did King Muchkund sleep for a million years and wake up in the Dwaparyug? Whose soul had entered the dice of Shakuni? Why was Gandhari married to a goat before she wed Dhritarashtra?

Who was the only Kaurava to cross over to the Pandavas before the battle?

Book excerpt: A dazzling and eloquent reworking of the Mahabharata, one of South Asia's best-loved epics, through nineteen peripheral voices. With daring poetic forms, Karthika Naïr breathes new life into this ancient epic. Karthika Naïr refracts the epic Mahabharata through the voices of nameless soldiers, outcast warriors and handmaidens as well as abducted princesses, tribal queens, and a gender-shifting god. As peripheral figures and silent catalysts take center stage, we get a glimpse of lives and stories buried beneath the dramas of god and nation, heroics and victory - of the lives obscured by myth and history, all too often interchangeable. Until the Lions is a kaleidoscopic, poetic tour de force. It reveals the most intimate threads of desire, greed, and sacrifice in this foundational epic.

Book excerpt: The Mahabharata is one of the greatest stories ever told. Though the basic plot is widely known, there is much more to the epic than the dispute between Kouravas and Pandavas that led to the battle in Kurukshetra. It has innumerable sub-plots that accommodate fascinating meanderings and digressions, and it has rarely been translated in full, given its formidable length of 80,000 shlokas or couplets. This magnificent 10-volume unabridged translation of the epic is based on the Critical Edition compiled at the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute. * The final volume ends the instructions of the Anushasana Parva. The horse sacrifice is held, and Dhritarashtra, Gandhari, Kunti, Vidura and Sanjaya leave for the forest. Krishna and Balarama die as the Yadavas fight among themselves. The Pandavas leave on the great journey with the famous companion—Dharma disguised as a dog. Refusing to abandon the dog, Yudhishthira goes to heaven in his physical body and sees all the Kurus and the Pandavas are already there. * Every conceivable human emotion figures in the Mahabharata, the reason why the epic continues to hold sway over our imagination. In this lucid, nuanced and confident translation, Bibek Debroy makes the Mahabharata marvellously accessible to contemporary readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hindu religious books play a vital role in the upliftment of society and its cultural values. The Veda, Ramayana, Gita, Puraan, Mahabharata, etc. are all their holy scriptures, which have guided them in the development of their society since time immemorial. So, we have tried to transform the big epics Ramayana and Mahabharata into a small and easy story format through which one can learn about the Hindu epics playfully. This particular book contains the time and life stories of Lord Rama and the Mahabharata, which is interesting. These are the most brilliant collections of mythical stories that India has contributed to the world. These are huge epics, from their extensive length to the enormous breadth of their vision. These are like encyclopedias—a world all on its own. The Mahabharata speaks of epic love and hatred, gods and demons, and gigantic battles. But it does so in speech, gestures, and magic. The Mahabharata has a narrative structure. Its narration is breathtaking in its poetic and intellectual quality. Its technique of narration is, as mentioned above, that of a story inside another story. The basis of the narration rests on ‘dialogues’ that bring out various viewpoints on a particular situation or problem. Every character in the Mahabharata has their own point of view and ideology, but its beautiful narration transforms it into a text of debate. The core of the Mahabharata is the feud between princely cousins, the Kauravas, and the Pandavas, who were the descendants of Puru. It led to the 18-day-long, bloody war. The stakes of this gigantic war were great. The whole known land of Bharata was at stake. Every kingdom, from the biggest to the smallest, brought its armies to the Kurukshetra battlefield for either the Kaurava or the Pandava side. This war changed the whole political landscape of India. The author of the Mahabharata is said to be Veda Vyasa, and Lord Ganesha is his scribe. Veda Vyasa was witness to all the events.
