The Mystery Of The Mahabharata (5 Vols. Set)

The Mystery of the Mahabhararata The idea of the Mahabharata as a great picture of a great Philosophy of Life, occurred to me almost like a dream. I have pursued it for nearly eight years, and the result of my study, relating to the Vedas, is contained in this volume, and that relating to the Mahabharata will follow in the next. My study of the Mahabharata led me to the Vedas, Upanishads, Satapatha Brahmana and the systems of Hindu Philosophy; for the systems of Hindu Philosophy for the 'Story' is, even as it claims to be a picture of all sacred philosophy and literature; and it is in this light that I have explained and interpreted it.
