but srsly, I wanna read the whole thing O___O
movie and the play were BOTH amazing, but I’m sure they left out TONS of amazing stories :)
I’m having a hard time finding this in book stores. I still have yet to get a copy.
get the retelling by william buck. he does a fantastic job of condensing it into a manageable version. definitely need to read it multiple times to pick up on the multiple levels of meaning.
SmallVictories is fine and dandy and, by the way, addicted to FarmTown.
And the second time you read it (I had a good translation, very poetic), take a break in the middle at the battle scene and switch over to read the Bhagavad Gita.
Have a copy in translation. Yes I could download it for free then I wouldn’t be able to read it leisurely in a bubble-bath like the sybarite that I am.
I get all emotional when I read the Ancient Indian Epics. Probably shouldn’t mention that in public- but wtf people are gonna think I’m weird anyway…..

I’ve always wanted to read the Mahabharata in Sanskrit and I’ve found some excellent local classes in Sydney after failing miserably at the crappy ones at university about 15 years ago.
I’ve also found the complete unabridged versions in translation at the Gutenberg Library;
But I don’t know what the translations are like. The abridged versions always just leave me wanting more…...
Aum Ganpatti… Aum
