মহাভারত - Dharma means the way of life. Hindus dedicate their life to the practise of dharma in all its hues. This talk introduces the huge discussion on the topic which is the central theme of this great epic.
Mahabharata is the largest epic of the world, composed by Vyasa in one hundred thousand verses. It is encyclopaedic in nature, containing the historical, social, cultural, moral, religious and spiritual record of the then India. It contains every kind of literature available in India: itihasa, puranas, akhyana, kavya, Dharmashastra, artha shastra, Niti shastra, and moksha shastra etc. Rightly it has been said -- Yad iha asti tad anyatra, yad nehasti na tat kva chit, in matters of dharma, artha, kama, and moksha , whatever is here, can be seen elsewhere; what is not here, does not exist anywhere else.
It is essentially a work of synthesis in which different religions, philosophies, habits, thoughts, codes, and everything that one can think of has been woven into a symphony. What Ramayana did for Hindu religious feelings, Mahabharata did the same for the ethical and moral aspects of the Hindu personality.
The fundamental teaching of Mahabharata is that human weaknesses will be there, but one has to outgrow them or else perish. Here, the discussion on dharma (righteousness, duty, morality) is in its entirety. Every now and then the work returns to this issue.
