About this listen

 The Mahabharata stands as one of the two monumental Sanskrit epics of ancient India, traditionally attributed to the sage Vyasa. With over 74,000 verses, it is recognized as the longest poem in existence. This epic not only narrates the gripping saga of the Kurukshetra War and the destinies of the rival Kauravas and Pandavas, but it also delves deep into profound philosophical and devotional themes. Among these are the four goals of life or purusharthas dharma (righteousness), artha (purpose), kama (pleasure), and moksha (liberation). Join us as we explore this timeless tale and its rich tapestry of wisdom. (Introduction by om123)
