The Mahabharata: An Epic Tale of War, Duty, and Dharma
By Ashish Bhatt
The Mahabharata is a timeless epic that explores the complexities of human nature, morality, and duty. Centered around the rivalry between the Pandavas and Kauravas, it culminates in the great battle of Kurukshetra, where questions of righteousness, loyalty, and justice come to a head. Beyond its grand narrative of war, the Mahabharata delves into philosophical and ethical dilemmas, especially through the Bhagavad Gita, where Lord Krishna imparts spiritual wisdom to the conflicted warrior Arjuna. The epic’s exploration of dharma (duty) and the human condition makes it relevant across generations, offering profound lessons on life, leadership, and the eternal struggle between good and evil.
