Book Description
About The Book

An epic that never dies and still remains relevant even thousands of years later- Vyasa's Mahabharata has always captured our imagination. The saga of two feuding families, the Mahabharata, with its various twists and turns, has been a compelling read across generations, inspiring many to dig deeper into the great poem. This collection of twenty short stories brings out characters and incidents that are largely unheard of and are buried in the vastness of the epic. Capturing every emotion from valour, lust, loyalty and treachery to goodness and ethics so relevant to the world we live in, these stories help us understand the epic better by bringing out a different dimension altogether.

Preface

Very few epics have captured the imagination of the reader as much as the Mahabharata, so much so that the reader is drawn to it repeatedly. Indeed, the Mahabharata, even though it dates back nearly five thousand years, has all the ingredients of a contemporary thriller and continues to hold readers in thrall with its various twists and turns.

Over the years, the Mahabharata has been told and retold many times over and as such, there are several different descriptions and versions of the epic in existence. This book, Untold Tales from the Mahabharata, is a collection of twenty short stories from the epic. Through this book, I have attempted to present some of the lesser-known tales, situations and characters in a narrative that is simple and easy to follow.

While writing this book, I have referred to the parvas and different versions of the Mahabharata that have been told in different parts of the country, from the north to the south. I also drew inspiration from the lectures and pravachans' of pundits, speakers and gurus giving their perspective.
