The MAHABHARAT is considered to be one of the greatest epics of the world and is definitely the most successful Indian serial ever breaking television records by reaching 97.8% viewership in India and being shown on many major networks world-wide, including the BBC.,
Mahabharat is a vast epic of glorious heights and tremendous depths that tells the story of a Great War between the five Pandava Princes and their cousins, the Kauravs, who were all descendents of the great King Bharat - the first King of India.
It tells childhood friendships broken by greed and jealousy, of pledges honored and promises broken, of the overthrow of kingdoms on the throw of a dice and of the pitch battles and mighty wars that gave rise to the glories of Indian culture.
But, through this story of war, the MAHABHARAT conveys a timeless message of peace encompassing all shades of human nature.
It is a vast epic of glorious heights and tremendous depths, but it’s essence is contained in the telling of Lord Krishna’s message to humanity ?the Bhagvad Gita, acknowledged to be the quintessence of all knowledge embodied in the Hindu ethos.
It is rightly and pithily said that ?what isn’t there in this great epic MAHABHARAT isn’t here in Bharata, India?
