Mahabharata: A World War offers a fresh perspective on the ancient epic, exploring its vast and intricate narrative through a modern lens. Many books have been written on the Mahabharata, focusing on its portrayal of the eternal struggle between good and evil. However, this book seeks to achieve two primary objectives that set it apart.
Firstly, it aims to authenticate the events mentioned in the Mahabharata by correlating them with present-day locations. By associating over 400 places from our scriptures with contemporary sites, this book presents compelling evidence that the Mahabharata was not merely a local battle but a conflict of global proportions. The narrative is enriched with folklore, providing a vivid connection to these ancient tales. Each chapter is thoughtfully summarized with maps, offering readers a clear and engaging visualization of the events.
Secondly, this book delves into lesser-known yet significant legends from the Purana-s. These stories add crucial dimensions to the epic, enhancing the reader’s understanding and appreciation. The Bhagavata Purana asserts that reading its chronicles of Lord Krishna can purify and calm the mind, a benefit that this book aims to impart to its readers.
Recognizing that the Mahabharata is a vast and complex scripture, this book condenses even the minor yet relevant events, making the grand classic more accessible. It highlights the nuanced roles of the many characters within the epic, providing a deeper insight into their contributions and significance.
The Mahabharata extensively covers the concept of Purushartha, which encapsulates the meaning of life through Dharma (virtue), Artha (wealth), Kama (desires), and Moksha (liberation from the cycle of rebirth). The Markandeya Purana refers to the Mahabharata as a moksha shastra, or scripture of liberation. This book also presents the essence of the eternal Bhagavad Geeta in simple language, allowing readers to absorb its timeless wisdom with ease.
Whether you are a seasoned scholar of ancient texts or a curious newcomer, Mahabharata: A World War provides a comprehensive and enlightening exploration of one of history’s greatest epics.
