Mahabharata

Regarding Mahabharata, there is a saying - यदिहास्ति तदन्यत्र, यन्नेहास्ति न तत् क्वचित् | - "Yadihaasti tadanyatra, yannehaasti na tat kvachit", which means "Whatever is found here may be found somewhere else also, but whatever is not in this Mahabharata cannot be found anywhere else". Mahabharata is indeed an ocean. A local publisher has published its translation in Kannada, and it spans more than 40 volumes, of a regular sized book. Studying the entire set is itself a project lasting a few years.

We, a set of friends have embarked upon a study of the Bhagavad Geeta, which is a small part of the Mahabharata, and we have spent nearly 130 hours in the last 1.5 years, and have finished just around 35 percent of the Geeta; we are doing a study along with a detailed Sanskrit Commentary, and have lot of discussions in our study; so to complete it may take two more years. Three more small extracts of the Mahabharata are also in our study list - the Vidura Neeti, the Yaksha Prashna and Vishnu Sahasranama. Maybe a 10-year plan.

Another thing to note about the India is that there is an ocean of change between India of 1975/76 and of today. My own place Bengaluru, was a sleepy pensioner's paradise and garden city called Bangalore then, and now it grown beyond all bounds, with so many people making a comfortable, sometimes extravagant living here. Somehow, i feel that the Bangalore of 1975 was much better to live in, maybe I'm an old timer.
