This podcast is for anyone interested in the Epic Literature of India, its spiritual philosophies, the life and background of Krishna, and all the fascinating stories from the great epic The Mahabharata.

Mahabharata, an inseparable part of our civilization, is now infested with many distortive and baseless narratives, which, like a parasite, destroy its host. Let us destroy those interpolations, using authentic reference, and understand, preserve, and pass on that timeless wisdom. महाभारत, जो हमारे संस्कृति का एक अविभाज्य अंग है, आज उसे अनेक कपोल कल्पनाओं एवं निराधार प्रसंगों ने उसी प्रकार ग्रस लिया है जैसे कोई बीमारी फैलाने वाले परजीवी किटाणु अपने पोषण के लिए दूसरों को बीमार कर देता है। हमारा अभियान है उन प्रसंगों का खंडन और महाभारत के मूल दर्शन को समझना जो सर्वकालिक और सर्वदेशीय है।

This is a Kannada podcast over Hindu Mythology, Mahabharata. Speaker tries to explore the values, messages and secrets out of it.

Brief explanation About Mahabharata

As I learn I share my humble learning. - Ramcharitmanas (Ramayan)- 61 Episodes (Currently conducting session) - Bhaj Govindam - 23 Episodes - Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran - 65 Episodes - Geeta - 29 Episodes - Sunderkand - 7 Episodes - Vibhishan Gita (Completed) - 15 Episodes - Navratri - Inner Awakening (Completed) - 1 Episode Why this Endeavour? All machines come with manuals, we read the manuals before we operate them. However, this complex machine called ‘human’ is used without any guidance. The scriptures are the ‘Manuals for Humans’. The sooner we ‘Understand’ them, the better the type of life we will lead and better directed our pursuits will be. We are sitting on a store house of rich scriptures. The wisdoms that abides in them is immense. However, most of the time this precious knowledge is kept covered in an orange cloth, in a sacred corner and removed occasionally for chants and obeisance. The effort here is to make these a daily read for us. We should be able to pick up any scripture, Just like one effortlessly picks up a novel, magazine, newspaper, etc. any time, anywhere, read, interpret and experience it. As one of the saints once said, How long are you going to read other people’s experience? When will you experience it yourself? There can be multiple interpretations. Delve deeper into your very being and after that constant musing, what is it that you feel this reveals?
