The Mahabharata constantly emphasizes Dharma, or moral duty. Every character struggles with what is right and wrong. Yudhishthira's commitment to truth and Arjuna’s hesitation in battle highlight the complexity of Dharma.

Dharma (Righteousness and Duty)

Krishna teaches Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita that one must act without attachment to results. Performing duty without selfish motives leads to spiritual growth.

Detachment and Renunciation

Bhakti (devotion) towards Krishna is shown as the ultimate path to liberation. Draupadi’s surrender to Krishna in times of crisis is a great example of unwavering faith.

The Power of Devotion and Surrender

Duryodhana’s greed and arrogance led to destruction. The Mahabharata warns that unchecked desires and ego lead to downfall, reinforcing the need for humility and self-control.

Consequences of Greed and Ego

The war, deaths, and losses in the Mahabharata highlight the temporary nature of life and wealth. Krishna reminds Arjuna that everything in the material world is fleeting, urging detachment and wisdom.

Impermanence of Life and Material Possessions

A timeless epic of duty, devotion, and destiny, where warriors, sages, and kings navigate the complexities of righteousness, desire, and the eternal struggle between good and evil.

In this exciting rendition of the renowned classic, Krishna Dharma retells this epic as a fast-paced novel, but fully retains the majestic mood of the original. As the divinely beautiful Draupadi rose from the fire, a voice rang out from the heavens foretelling a terrible destiny. “She will cause the destruction of countless warriors.” And so begins one of the most fabulous stories of all time. Mahabharata plunges readers into a wondrous and ancient world of romance and adventure. A powerful and moving tale, it recounts the history of the five heroic Pandava brothers and their celestial wife. Cheated of their kingdom and sent into exile by their envious cousins, they set off on a fascinating journey on which they encounter mystical sages, mighty kings, and a host of gods and demons. Profound spiritual themes underlie the enthralling narrative, making it one of the world’s most revered texts. Culminating in an apocalyptic war, Mahabharata is a masterpiece of suspense, intrigue, and illuminating wisdom.
