The Mahabharata is the longest epic in the world, influencing Indian culture for 4,000 years. It centers on the Great War on Kurukshetra and includes smaller stories and the Bhagavad Gita. A new 12-volume series aims to retell the epic in modern English for contemporary readers.
The Mahabharata of Veda Vyasa is theongest recorded epic of the world. With almost 100,000 verses, it is many times asong as the Iliad and the Odyssey combined and has deeply influenced every aspect of the Indian ethos for some 4,000 years. The main theme is the Great War on Kurukshetra, but the epic teems with smaller stories and other stories within these, all woven together with a genius that confounds comparison. As its heart, it contains Krishna''s immortal Bhagavad Gita, the Song of God. The Mahabharata embodies the ancient and sacred Indian tradition, in all its earthy and spiritual immensity. Famously, "What is found here may be found elsewhere. What is not found here will not be found elsewhere.'' Many believe this most magnificent epic to be the greatest story ever told. Yet, the only full Indian translation of the Mahabharata into English is the 19th century one by Kisari Mohan Ganguli. More than a hundred years have passed since Ganguli accomplished his task and theanguage he used is now sadly archaic. This new 12 volume series retells the great epic,ine byine, in fresh, easily readable English prose. With it, we hope to bring the Mahabharata alive again, for the contemporary and future reader.
