Mahabharata

The Mahābhārata is one of India’s two great Sanskrit epics, centered on the conflict between the Pāṇḍavas and Kauravas culminating in the Kurukṣetra war. It combines history, mythology, ethics, politics, philosophy, law, devotion, and spiritual instruction. Containing the Bhagavad Gītā and many other teachings, it explores dharma under complex conditions, showing how duty, desire, kinship, power, fate, and divine guidance interact.
