Description
Mahabharata is the biggest epic of the world that showcases the high moral values. This Indian epic is like a full moon which sheds the light of Vedas making one's lily flower of wisdom blossom and stay in bloom forever. This volume features 88 scenes from this epic.
This popular sacred historic epic, the expanded exemplification of the immortal Vedic values, is the creation of the power attained through penance and celibacy by Lord Vyasa, the son of Satyawati.
Mahabharata is the greatest epic of the world, the biggest parade of historic sagas of our land. It reflects the social, cultural and philosophical picture of ancient India. The scholars call it The Fifth Veda. Every saga of this epic presents dramatically the way the evil apparently has upper hand but the good triumphs eventually. Thus, the soul message of Mahabharata is Where there is righteousness there is victory.
The stories of Mahabarata reveal how during that ancient age our India was in the forefront of the scientific knowledge. There is nothing that Vyasa’s notice has escaped. Today’s science is merely follow up of the developments of that age. It is no exaggeration. This epic is living proof this fact.
