The Mahabharata in six lessons: the story, the people, the questions i छह पाठों में महाभारत: कथा, पात्र और वे प्रश्न जो यह हमारे लिए छोड़ता है

A gentle beginner's course through the great itihasa of Vyasa, from the family's roots to the last journey, with the key passages and one practice each week

Six lessons that walk a beginner through the Mahabharata. You start with what the epic is, how Vyasa's story reached us through its tellers, its eighteen parvas and the Pune critical edition. Then come the family and the roots of the conflict, the dice game and Draupadi's question, the forest years and the Yaksha's questions, Krishna's peace mission and the eighteen days at Kurukshetra told gently, Bhishma's teaching after the great loss, and the last journey with Yudhishthira and the dog. Each lesson notes where the popular telling and the critical edition differ, and ends with steps a family can try at home, common mistakes and one question to sit with.
