Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa

The Bhagavad Gita is the best known of all the Indian scriptures, and Eknath Easwaran's best-selling translation is reliable, readable, and profound.Easwaran's 55-page introduction places the Bhagavad Gita in its historical setting, and brings out the universality and timelessness of its teachings. Chapter introductions clarify key concepts, and notes and a glossary explain Sanskrit terms.Easwaran grew up in the Hindu tradition in India, and learned Sanskrit from a young age. He was a professor of English literature before coming to the West on a Fulbright scholarship. A gifted teacher, he is recognized as an authority on the Indian classics and world mysticism.The Bhagavad Gita opens, dramatically, on a battlefield, as the warrior Arjuna turns in anguish to his spiritual guide, Sri Krishna, for answers to the fundamental questions of life. Yet, as Easwaran points out, the Gita is not what it seems - it's not a dialogue between two mythical figures at the dawn of Indian history. "The battlefield is a perfect backdrop, but the Gita's subject is the war within, the struggle for self-mastery that every human being must wage if he or she is to emerge from life victorious."Arjuna's struggle in the Bhagavad Gita is acutely modern. He has lost his way on the battlefield of life and turns to find the path again by asking direct, uncompromising questions of his spiritual guide, Sri Krishna, the Lord himself. Krishna replies in 700 verses of sublime instruction on living and dying, loving and working, and the nature of the soul.Easwaran shows the Gita's relevance to us today as we strive, like Arjuna, to do what is right."No one in modern times is more qualified - no, make that 'as qualified' - to translate the epochal Classics of Indian Spirituality than Eknath Easwaran. And the reason is clear. It is impossible to get to the heart of those classics unless you live them, and he did live them. My admiration of the man and his works is boundless." - Huston Smith, author of The World's Religions.

Growing from an oral tradition of ballads based on historic events in India, the Mahabharata was passed down and extended through the centuries, becoming the longest poem ever written. R. K. Narayan provides a superb rendition in an abbreviated and elegant retelling of this great epic.

This translation of the epic mystical poem uses everyday prose to walk the reader through difficult concepts. Jack Hawley’s Gita is not an abstract classic but a “universal love song” that covers a wide range of topics, from healing inner pain to celebrating life.

The Mahabharata is one of the greatest stories ever told. Though the basic plot is widely known, there is much more to the epic than the dispute between the Kouravas and Pandavas that led to the battle in Kurukshetra. It has innumerable sub-plots that accommodate fascinating meanderings and digressions, and it has rarely been translated in full, given its formidable length of 80,000 shlokas or couplets. This magnificent 10- volume unabridged translation of the epic is based on the Critical Edition compiled at the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute. Volume 1 consists of most of Adi Parva, in which much happens before the Kouravas and the Pandavas actually arrive on the scene. This volume covers the origins of the Kuru clan; the stories of Poushya, Poulama and Astika; the births of the Kouravas and the Pandavas; the house of lac; the slaying of Hidimba and Baka; Droupadi’s marriage; and ends with the Pandavas obtaining their share of the kingdom. Every conceivable human emotion figures in the Mahabharata, the reason why the epic continues to hold sway over our imagination. In this lucid, nuanced and confident translation, Bibek Debroy makes the Mahabharata marvellouly accessible to contemporary readers.

Mahabharata menceritakan kisah konflik para Pandawa lima dengan saudara sepupu mereka sang seratus Korawa, mengenai sengketa hak pemerintahan tanah negara Astina. Puncaknya adalah perang Bharatayuddha di medan Kurusetra dan pertempuran berlangsung selama delapan belas hari.Cerita diawali dari klan Barata, dng raja yg tersohor Santanu. Prabu Santanu adalah seorang raja mahsyur dari garis keturunan Sang Kuru, berasal dari Hastinapura. Ia menikah dengan Dewi Gangga yang dikutuk agar turun ke dunia, namun Dewi Gangga meninggalkannya karena Sang Prabu melanggar janji pernikahan. Hubungan Sang Prabu dengan Dewi Gangga sempat membuahkan anak yang diberi nama Dewabrata atau Bisma. Setelah ditinggal Dewi Gangga, akhirnya Prabu Santanu menjadi duda. Beberapa tahun kemudian, Prabu Santanu melanjutkan kehidupan berumah tangga dengan menikahi Dewi Satyawati, puteri nelayan. Dari hubungannya, Sang Prabu berputera Sang Citrānggada dan Wicitrawirya. Citrānggada wafat di usia muda dalam suatu pertempuran, kemudian ia digantikan oleh adiknya yaitu Wicitrawirya. Wicitrawirya juga wafat di usia muda dan belum sempat memiliki keturunan. Atas bantuan Resi Byasa, kedua istri Wicitrawirya, yaitu Ambika dan Ambalika, melahirkan masing-masing seorang putera, nama mereka Pandu (dari Ambalika) dan Dretarastra (dari Ambika).Dretarastra terlahir buta, maka tahta Hastinapura diserahkan kepada Pandu, adiknya. Pandu menikahi Kunti dan memiliki tiga orang putera bernama Yudistira, Bima, dan Arjuna. Kemudian Pandu menikah untuk yang kedua kalinya dengan Madri, dan memiliki putera kembar bernama Nakula dan Sadewa. Kelima putera Pandu tersebut dikenal sebagai Pandawa. Dretarastra yang buta menikahi Gandari, dan memiliki seratus orang putera dan seorang puteri yang dikenal dengan istilah Korawa. Pandu dan Dretarastra memiliki saudara bungsu bernama Widura. Widura memiliki seorang anak bernama Sanjaya, yang memiliki mata batin agar mampu melihat masa lalu, masa sekarang, dan masa depan.Keluarga Dretarastra, Pandu, dan Widura membangun jalan cerita Mahabharata.merupakan dua kelompok dengan sifat yang berbeda namun berasal dari leluhur yang sama, yakni Kuru dan Bharata. Korawa (khususnya Duryodana) bersifat licik dan selalu iri hati dengan kelebihan Pandawa, sedangkan Pandawa bersifat tenang dan selalu bersabar ketika ditindas oleh sepupu mereka. Ayah para Korawa, yaitu Dretarastra, sangat menyayangi putera-puteranya. Hal itu membuat ia sering dihasut oleh iparnya yaitu Sangkuni, beserta putera kesayangannya yaitu Duryodana, agar mau mengizinkannya melakukan rencana jahat menyingkirkan para Pandawa.Pada suatu ketika, Duryodana mengundang Kunti dan para Pandawa untuk liburan. Di sana mereka menginap di sebuah rumah yang sudah disediakan oleh Duryodana. Pada malam hari, rumah itu dibakar. Namun para Pandawa diselamatkan oleh Bima sehingga mereka tidak terbakar hidup-hidup dalam rumah tersebut. Usai menyelamatkan diri, Pandawa dan Kunti masuk hutan. Di hutan tersebut Bima bertemu dengan rakshasa Hidimba dan membunuhnya, lalu menikahi adiknya, yaitu rakshasi Hidimbi. Dari pernikahan tersebut, lahirlah Gatotkaca.Setelah melewati hutan rimba, Pandawa melewati Kerajaan Panchala. Di sana tersiar kabar bahwa Raja Drupada menyelenggarakan sayembara memperebutkan Dewi Dropadi. Karna mengikuti sayembara tersebut, tetapi ditolak oleh Dropadi. Pandawa pun turut serta menghadiri sayembara itu, namun mereka berpakaian seperti kaum brahmana. Arjuna mewakili para Pandawa untuk memenangkan sayembara dan ia berhasil melakukannya. Setelah itu perkelahian terjadi karena para hadirin menggerutu sebab kaum brahmana tidak selayaknya mengikuti sayembara. Pandawa berkelahi kemudian meloloskan diri. sesampainya di rumah, mereka berkata kepada ibunya bahwa mereka datang membawa hasil meminta-minta. Ibu mereka pun menyuruh agar hasil tersebut dibagi rata untuk seluruh saudaranya. Namun, betapa terkejutnya ia saat melihat bahwa anak-anaknya tidak hanya membawa hasil meminta-minta, namun juga seorang wanita. Tak pelak lagi, Dropadi menikahi kelima Pandawa.Agar tidak terjadi pertempuran sengit, Kerajaan Kuru dibagi dua untuk dibagi kepada Pandawa dan Korawa. Korawa memerintah Kerajaan Kuru induk (pusat) dengan ibukota Hastinapura, sementara Pandawa memerintah Kerajaan Kurujanggala dengan ibukota Indraprastha. Baik Hastinapura maupun Indraprastha memiliki istana megah, dan di sanalah Duryodana tercebur ke dalam kolam yang ia kira sebagai lantai, sehingga dirinya menjadi bahan ejekan bagi Dropadi. Hal tersebut membuatnya bertambah marah kepada para Pandawa.Untuk merebut kekayaan dan kerajaan Yudistira secara perlahan namun pasti, Duryodana mengundang Yudistira untuk main dadu dengan taruhan harta dan kerajaan. Yudistira yang gemar main dadu tidka menolak undangan tersebut dan bersedia datang ke Hastinapura dengan harapan dapat merebut harta dan istana milik Duryodana. Pada saat permainan dadu, Duryodana diwakili oleh Sangkuni yang memiliki kesakti...

The Mahabharata, Book 4: Virata ParvaKisari Mohan Ganguli, tr.Om! Having bowed down to Narayana, and Nara the foremost of male beings, and the goddess Saraswati also, must the word Jaya be uttered.It is of immense importance to the culture of the Indian subcontinent, and is a major text of Hinduism. Its discussion of human goals (artha or purpose, kama or pleasure, dharma or duty/harmony, and moksha or liberation) takes place in a long-standing tradition, attempting to explain the relationship of the individual to society and the world (the nature of the 'Self') and the workings of karma.The object of a translator should ever be to hold the mirror upto his author. That being so, his chief duty is to represent so far as practicable the manner in which his author's ideas have been expressed, retaining if possible at the sacrifice of idiom and taste all the peculiarities of his author's imagery and of language as well. In regard to translations from the Sanskrit, nothing is easier than to dish up Hindu ideas, so as to make them agreeable to English taste. But the endeavour of the present translator has been to give in the following pages as literal a rendering as possible of the great work of Vyasa. To the purely English reader there is much in the following pages that will strike as ridiculous. Those unacquainted with any language but their own are generally very exclusive in matters of taste. Having no knowledge of models other than what they meet with in their own tongue, the standard they have formed of purity and taste in composition must necessarily be a narrow one. The translator, however, would ill-discharge his duty, if for the sake of avoiding ridicule, he sacrificed fidelity to the original. He must represent his author as he is, not as he should be to please the narrow taste of those entirely unacquainted with him. Mr. Pickford, in the preface to his English translation of the Mahavira Charita, ably defends a close adherence to the original even at the sacrifice of idiom and taste against the claims of what has been called 'Free Translation,' which means dressing the author in an outlandish garb to please those to whom he is introduced.Janamejaya said, "How did my great-grandfathers, afflicted with the fear of Duryodhana, pass their days undiscovered in the city of Virata? And, O Brahman, how did the highly blessed Draupadi, stricken with woe, devoted to her lords, and ever adoring the Deity 1, spend her days unrecognised?"Vaisampayana said, "Listen, O lord of men, how thy great grandfathers passed the period of unrecognition in the city of Virata. Having in this way obtained boons from the god of Justice, that best of virtuous men, Yudhishthira, returned to the asylum and related unto the Brahmanas all that had happened. And having related everything unto them, Yudhishthira restored to that regenerate Brahmana, who had followed him the churning staff and the fire-sticks he had lost. And, O Bharata, the son of the god of Justice, the royal Yudhishthira of high soul then called together all his younger brothers and addressed them, saying, 'Exiled from our kingdom, we have passed twelve years. The thirteenth year, hard to spend, hath now come. Do thou therefore, O Arjuna, the son of Kunti, select some spot where we may pass our days undiscovered by our enemies.'"For additional information on publishing your books on iPhone and iPad please visit www.AppsPublisher.com

The epic of Mahabharat is not just a story but an integral part of Hinduism. The voluminous epic is said to contain almost every aspect that can be thought of. It has love, it has passion, it has war, it has treachery, it has life and it has death. It tells the story of dharma and depicts the victory of good over evil. It also has the gospel of Gita - the way of life. In our efforts to bring classic Indian literature to the Kindle and other modern platforms, we have attempted to retell this story in two parts. This is the second and the concluding part contains the details about the war. The stories are kept simple and illustrated with pictures for children to understand. Lord Krishna was an incarnation of Narayana. He always sided with dharma - the righteous way. It is said that whenever there is a dearth of righteousness in the world and there is a danger of lawlessness becoming prevalent in the world,he reincarnates himself. God always guides and leads the righteous and virtuous. The one whose life is guided and guarded by God himself has nothing to fear. As you read the Mahabharat, you will understand the subtle message of each incident in it. May the teachings of the Mahabharat be the guiding light in your life.

The Atharvaveda ( अथर्ववेदः, atharvaveda, a tatpurusha compound of atharvan, an ancient Rishi, and veda (meaning "knowledge") is a sacred text of Hinduism, and one of the four Vedas, often called the "fourth Veda". According to tradition, the Atharvaveda was mainly composed by two groups of rishis known as the Atharvanas and the Angirasa, hence its oldest name is Ātharvāṅgirasa. In the Late Vedic Gopatha Brahmana, it is attributed to the Bhrigu and Angirasa. Additionally, tradition ascribes parts to other rishis, such as Kauśika, Vasiṣṭha and Kaśyapa. There are two surviving recensions (śākhās), known as Śaunakīya (AVS) and Paippalāda (AVP).Maurice Bloomfield, Ph. D., LL.D. (February 23, 1855 – June 12, 1928) was an American philologist and Sanskrit scholar.

In India's great epic Maha·bhárata , the eighth book, “Karna,”; recounts the events that occurred during the mighty hero Karna’s two days as general of the Káurava army. This second volume resumes on the war's seventeenth and penultimate day. This will be a momentous day for the Bhárata clans and especially for a number of their most distinguished heroes, with some of the epic’s most telegraphed events reaching their climax. Not only will the epic's most anticipated duel between its greatest champions Árjuna and Karna be played out to its cruel and tragic end, but one of the more gruesome episodes in the epic will also take place with Duhshásana meeting the fate that has long awaited him since his brazen mistreatment of Dráupadi in the assembly hall.Co-published by New York University Press and the JJC FoundationFor more on this title and other titles in the Clay Sanskrit series, please visit

The Samaveda, or Veda of Holy Songs, third in the usual order of enumeration of the three Vedas, ranks next in sanctity and liturgical importance to the Rgveda or Veda of Recited praise. Its Sanhita, or metrical portion, consists chiefly of hymns to be chanted by the Udgatar priests at the performance of those important sacrifices in which the juice of the Soma plant, clarified and mixed with milk and other ingredients, was offered in libation to various deities. The Collection is made up of hymns, portions of hymns, and detached verses, taken mainly from the Rgveda, transposed and re-arranged, without reference to their original order, to suit the religious ceremonies in which they were to be employed. In these compiled hymns there are frequent variations, of more or less importance, from the text of the Rgveda as we now possess it which variations, although in some cases they are apparently explanatory, seem in others to be older and more original than the readings of the Rgveda. In singing, the verses are still further altered by prolongation, repetition and insertion of syllables, and various modulations, rests, and other modifications prescribed, for the guidance of the officiating priests, in the Ganas or Song-books. About Thomas Hotchkin Griffith (1826-1906), scholar of indology, Son of Rev R C Griffith (Chaplain to the Marquis of Bath 1830) B.A. of Queen's College was elected to the vacant Sanskrit Scholarship on Nov 24, 1849.

The "Mahabharata" tells the narrative of the Kurukshetra War and the fates of the Kaurava and the Pandava princes who are part of it. Along with the "Ramayana" it is one of two Sanskrit epics of ancient India. The authorship of the work is generally attributed to Vyasa, who is also a major character in the epic. Intermixed within the descriptions of conflict between the warring factions of this epic are numerous philosophical digressions and discussions of Hinduism. One of the more famous of these digressions is the "Bhagavad-Gita", a battlefield conversation between Pandava prince Arjuna and his guide Lord Krishna on a variety of theological and philosophical issues. Also included within the "Mahabharata" are the story of "Damayanti" and "Rishyasringa," often considered as works in their own right. This sweeping epic, the longest every written in Sanskrit, is widely considered as one of the most important works to ever be authored in any language. This four volume edition collects together the complete epic in a translation by Kisari Mohan Ganguli. Here we have the first volume which includes books one through three.

In one of the most famous passages in Maha·bhárata , Dur·yódhana, the heroic but flawed king of the Káuravas, meets his end when he is dishonorably defeated in battle by his arch-enemy, Bhima. Framing a fascinating account of the sacred sites along the river Sarásvati, the duel poignantly portrays the downfall of a once great hero in the face of a new order governed by Krishna, in which the warrior code is brushed aside in order to ensure the predestined triumph of the Pándavas.Co-published by New York University Press and the JJC FoundationFor more on this title and other titles in the Clay Sanskrit series, please visit

This was since there is a state called "Bengal" in India and this may lead the readers to wonder about the "Pygmy" people that don't exist in Bengal.From January 1983, No.444, was identified as Vol.20, No.1, till it ended at Vol.27 No.8, which would have been No.805 as per the original scheme.The series was variously published as a weekly, monthly and fortnightly.Apart from English, Indrajal Comics published the stories in at least a dozen other Indian languages including Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil and Kannada.मार्च १९६४ से प्रारम्भ हुई इस यात्रा ने पूरे छब्बीस वर्षों तक पूरे हिंदुस्तान को अपने जादू में जकड़े रखा| कितने ही दीवाने सुध-बुध भूल कर उस अद्भुत और रहस्यमय दुनिया में खोये रहे जो बिखरी थी इसके पन्नों की निराली छठा में| कुल ८०३ अंक प्रकाशित हुए जिनमें से आधे से ज्यादा में सर्वप्रिय नायक वे

The Mahabharata is the greatest epic of India. Anyone who has studied the Bhagavad Gita, which represents only 700 verses from the Mahabharata (out of 200,000 total) must be interested in reading the whole book. When I was a Hare Krishna devotee I certainly wished I could do that.Several summaries of the Mahabharata exist, but it is impossible to condense eighteen books into one without omitting anything worthwhile. The only complete English translation of the book is this one, by Kisari Mohan Ganguli.These volumes are based on a text file scanned at sacred-texts.com, 2003, and proofed at Distributed Proofing, Juliet Sutherland, Project Manager. Additional proofing and formatting of the text file was done at sacred-texts.com, by J. B. Hare.If you have a Kindle you can read this translation without cost by downloading it from http://www.gutenberg.org/. Amazon.com also has their own versions of these books which you may download and read for free.While reading these free e-books I decided that I really wanted a bound and printed version. I felt this book deserved to be back in print, so I decided to prepare it for publishing using Create Space and offer it for sale at the lowest possible price.I have moved the footnotes in these volumes (hundreds of them) from the end of the book back to the bottoms of the pages for easier reading. I have replaced archaic words like “behoveth” with “behooves”, etc., where it was possible to do so without rewriting the sentences where they appear. I have also fixed a few variant spellings, and replaced obscure words like "welkins" and "horripliated" with more common ones. Finally, the original work did not translate the titles of the individual books, so I have used the names found on Wikipedia. Thus Adi Parva in the original becomes The Book Of The Beginning.The illustrations are from a Hindi translation of the Mahabharata that has also fallen into the public domain. (http://openlibrary.org/books/OL233650....) I have used page images provided at archive.org and have cleaned them up using The GIMP software. The results speak for themselves. When all the volumes are published (probably twelve or so) there will be nearly 300 full page illustrations.In short, I have spared no effort to make this the most complete, most readable, and most attractive edition of the Mahabharata in English.While I no longer practice the Vaishnava religion I hope that these books will meet with the approval of my former godbrothers and godsisters. I do not believe that they will find anything offensive in them.BHAKTA JIM
