GEMS OF MAHABHARATA What's Not In It, You'll Find Nowhere Volume 2  (English, Paperback, Dr. K. R S. Nair)

Is there any piece of world literature that transcends time and space, encompasses every aspect of human living, nature, and the universe, holds eternal values, survived for over 5000 years, and remains new and a promising 'work-in-progress', a cornucopia of myths, passion, love, hatred, revenge, and all the conceivable emotions,explores all aspects of spirituality and temporality, creates a code of living, a philosophy of social and ethical living, and explains the law of cause and effect of everything,and can be passed on from generation to generation as an inexhaustible treasure trove of eternal wisdom? The only answer is the Mahabharata. The very book of Life, the Mahabharata is some fifteen times the combined length of the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, and seven times The Iliad and The Odyssey put together. At the same time, it is also "100 times more interesting" than them all, as observed by Wendy Doniger. In India, it is called the Fifth Veda. What makes the present version, which is the first of five volumes, distinct is its critical analysis of the characters and events of Mahabharata from the angle of modern behavioral science, and the valuable lessons churned out from an in-depth study of it. Among other things, the book throws light on certain less-known aspects of the well-known characters like Bhishma, Drona, Duryodhana, etc. and answers many questions on dharma, karma, ethics, parenting, communication, leadership, etc.
