Every time I watch or read the Mahabharata, I'm left awestruck by the sheer intricacy of fate interwoven into the historical battle of Kurukshetra. It's not just a war; it's a cosmic dance of millions of interwoven destinies.

As Mom said: only history can be written this perfectly, for it was lived before our eyes. Even if you're not of the Sanatana faith, you cannot deny the unrivaled beauty of this MahaKavya as literature. It has no competition.
The detail is staggering. Every death is explained. Every deceit is described. Dharma is upheld throughout, acting as a testimony: what appears as adharma momentarily is often just Dharma realigning deep-seated historical wrongs. A truly complex morality.
But the genius is the human psyche at its core. It's a universe in a book, culminating in the Bhagavad Gita - a timeless treatise on duty and action. While Mahabharata ceased to exist with the last shloka of Mahabharata, Gita continues to guide millions across all faiths. Its lessons are eternal. 🕉️
