About the Book

The Mahabharata is the greatest epic in the world both in magnitude and profundity. A veritable cultural compendium of Bharata-varsa, it is a product of the creative genius of Maharsi Krsna-dvaipayana Vyasa. The epic captures the experiential wisdom of our civilization and all subsequent literary, artistic, and philosophical creations are indebted to it. To read the Mahabharata is to understand the heart of India. The nucleus of the epic is the Great War between the Pandavas and the Kauravas that was fought at Kuruksetra. The guiding light to the Pandavas and the charioteer of the grand saga is Bhagavan Srikrsna, the embodiment of the finest values of Sanatana-dharma. A sublime hero like none other, Srikrsna represents the greatest human ideal. Prof. A R Krishnasastri’s classic Vacana Bharata is a high-resolution photograph of the timeless epic that captures its creamiest essence in sculpted Kannada prose. It has been a perennial favourite with Kannadigas since it first came out in 1950. Neither before nor after has such a succinct yet rich-in-details abridgement of the world’s grandest epic been published in any language. The Essential Mahabharata is an authentic English translation by Arjun Bharadwaj and Hari Ravikumar, lifelong students of both Bharata and the Bharata. An insightful essay by Satavadhani Dr. R Ganesh and an elevating pen portrait of Prof. Krishnasastri by Nadoja Dr. S R Ramaswamy adorn this volume. For anyone who wishes to catch a glimpse of India and savour the essence of the Mahabharata, this book is a must-read!
