About this listen

 Said to be the world's longest poem, Mahabharata was originally composed in 100,000 Sanskrit verses by the ancient Indian sage Vyasa. Revered as a sacred text within Hinduism, it contains the great spiritual teaching Bhagavad-gita. Krishna Dharma has condensed the epic into a fast paced novel that fully retains the majestic mood of the original. A powerful and moving tale, it recounts the history of the five heroic Pandava brothers, sons of the Emperor Pandu. Cheated of their kingdom and sent into exile by their envious cousins, they set off on a fascinating journey during which we meet gods, sages, mystics and mighty warrior kings. Profound spiritual themes underlie the thrilling narrative, making it one of the world's most revered texts. Culminating in an apocalyptic war, Mahabharata is a masterpiece of suspense, intrigue, and illuminating wisdom.©1999 Krishna Dharma (P)2015 Krishna Dharma Eastern Hinduism Philosophy Sacred Writing Royalty Mythology Eastern Religion

a few parts apear to have been cut, a little frustrating as I would like to know what was missing but there is enough there to develop a moderate understanding.

I was very apprehensive about starting this book, and the first few chapters weren’t easy, but as I got to ‘know’ the characters they came to life in my mind, to be honest I was quite emotional at the end. Absolutely loved it.

Amazing story

Don’t be daunted by the length of the story. It’s truly fascinating. The first few chapters are a bit slow but set the detailed context for what follows. There are some irritating occasional mastering/editing issues like sentences being cut off midway through which would warrant fixing. There is also a very faint low end buzzing throughout which should have been removed with a low pass filter before publication but it doesn’t disturb the listening experience.

Incredible story. It is indeed the greatest spiritual epic some audio problems though.

I can’t quite believe the effect this reading has had on me. I became so immersed that I felt myself there at times! It takes a few hours to get into the story, but I found that even with my shoddy memory, the complicated character names started to stick and relationships became apparent.

Epic!

enjoyed this version of the Mahabharata. the narrator could be a bit more enthusiastic. it all sounded dead pan.

also the narrator need to review his recording equipment or meal planning, could hear pages turning (not the problem), but could hear his stomach rumbling.

excellent overall

It's hard to say how good a book this is, I come from a background of keeping my religious faith even though it's different from Hinduism I've learnt lessons from this book which I totally missed the importance of till I read it here. Moral injunction seem to be best placed in stories, though there are some miss givings like the practice of Sati and multiple husbands, the way important to duty faith and respect for your elderly hits home. That and 46 hours in to the book and your like its already over!?

Unlike any other book.
