Every Indian should know at least the essence of The Mahabharata and The Gita, irrespective of their religion because it teaches more of management principles in life.
In this busy world, we do not have time to read even essential books. Also, most of the youngsters do not have the opportunity to read our scriptures. With that idea, this book was created to have a reading in 100 minutes. If you are interested and need more clarifications, you can always refer to standard books. Importance is given to express the concepts and morals rather than the entire story. In the end, even the principles of The Gita are explained in a nutshell.
In fact, religion can only be experienced and not taught. This book endeavours to demonstrate how Hinduism has been wrongly quoted by many and it aims to bring forth the truth.
There are so many myths also. When Atma is same in all living beings can there be a superior one or an inferior one. Even a dog is not inferior to human being. How can God separate human beings and bring castes? If so, is He a God? We can't blame God for all the egoistic mistakes done by humans in the name of God. God has no form. But Hinduism says you can make innumerable forms as you like as everything is God. In Mahabharata all these questions are answered, including who is a Brahmin? Can a Brahmin by birth superior? Etc.
The approach to various religions may differ. That is the nature of God's creation so that there is diversity in everything. Imagine the number of languages we have. Like that, even though the ultimate principles of religions are same, they were modified simplified as per the norms of the local people. The problem with simplification is that it creates controversy. The advantage of simplicity is that it is easily understandable. People take only the problems in their hand and cause in-justice to their own religion and humanity. If people are egoistic of religion, they are one of the worst criminals in the world, because all religions teach peace, love and harmony.
The stories of Mahabharata teach us lots of the management lessons.
Should I be ethical or moral? That is not a question that you may have considered often in your life. You may ask, "Isn't being ethical means being moral too?" Many a times you will be confused in life how to take right decisions. Mahabharata tells lots of stories to guide us in principles of life.
Our life, politics, society has disintegrated due to lack of ethics and morality in day to day life.
In this Kali Yuga, people are willing to come back on you, even if you have done 99999 good things, they will catch suspicious (even the one event may be suspicious) event in your life and try to spoil all your good deeds.
We often wonder, how people learn all these management techniques, not even seen in Bollywood or Hollywood movies to generate ideas to spoil your good deeds.
Religion is a hard concept to understand. So R to be explained in simple facts. How simple it has is the question. I have a strong opinion that all religions in the world teach the same principles. However since the gamut of the principles are innumerous, what reaches people and what is taught is different.
Because concept is difficult, various religions try to put it in simple terms. Simplicity is essential. But there are many drawbacks of simplicity. It is subjected to mockery by people who takes simplicity for granted and ridicule the same. But complexity is difficult to understand by most people and hence religious teaching and principles are easily subjected to mockery. Even in Bible, the world how it is created by God is explained in simplistic terms. The concept is that everything is created by God. If you question the simplistic terms, then you should be prepared to know the complex, which is taught in Gita.
And Buddha has shown the world how the concepts of religion can be understood by self-realization. So, anyone who does not follow any religion can understand the principles of life and creation.
