Mahabharata

The Mahabharata, “the story of the Great India”, is one of the most appreciated literatures in the world for both academic scholars and spiritual enthusiasts. The Mahabharata is accepted to be the world’s longest epic, having 1,500,000 verses describing the history of India and the fall of civilization right before the onset of the present age of quarrel and hypocrisy, known as Kali Yuga. The Mahabharata is divided into eighteen sections known as parvanas.

Vyasadeva also included a supplementary text called the Harivamsa Parvana (also known as Harivamsa Purana). This portion contains the pastimes of Lord Krsna not covered in the main text of the Mahabharata.
