MAHABHARATA

What book could you read over and over again?

Only one book which I like to read over again and again.

MAHABHARATA

The Mahabharata is an ancient Indian epic written by Ved Vyasa. It tells the story of a great war between two groups of royal cousins — the Pandavas and the Kauravas — for the throne of Hastinapura. The Pandavas, five righteous brothers (Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula, and Sahadeva), are guided by Lord Krishna.

After many conflicts, misunderstandings, and injustices, the battle of Kurukshetra takes place. It’s a war of dharma (righteousness) and adharma (unrighteousness). In this war, millions die, including great warriors like Bhishma, Drona, Karna, and all 100 Kauravas.

The Bhagavad Gita, a spiritual and philosophical discourse between Krishna and Arjuna, is a key part of the Mahabharata. In the end, the Pandavas win the war, but at great cost. Eventually, they renounce the kingdom and journey to the Himalayas, seeking moksha (liberation).
