Deal Details
Centuries ago, it was proclaimed of the Mahabharata: "What is not in it, is nowhere." But even now, we can use the same words about it. He who knows it not, knows not the heights and depths of the soul; he misses the trials and tragedy and the beauty and grandeur of life. The Mahabharata is not a mere epic; it is a romance, telling the tale of heroic men and women, and of some who were divine; it is a whole literature in itself, containing a code of life, a philosophy of social and ethical relations, and speculative thought on human problems that is hard to rival; but, above all, it has for its core the Gita,which is, as the world is beginning to find out, the noblest of scriptures and the grandest of sagas in which the climax is reached in the wondrous apocalypse in the Eleventh Canto.

Quote from TalentedMagic372 :
Mahabharata is holy Hindu epic. Stop calling it mythology. Stop insulting our scriptures. It's not a mythology. It is based on historical facts.
Lol. No historical facts here. It is a mythology, and a good one. you should read sometime. Along with Gita too. ---- Fellow Hindu(ex)

However the fact here seems to be, your profile is a couple years old and this is the "only" post/comment you have on SD. You have waited a long time for your well deserved comment time to come!

Fellow Hindu here and I need you to relax. Stop gatekeeping our culture, we should make it accessible to everyone and let people learn and take away what they need. Take a deep breath, go do some yoga βœŒπŸΎπŸ•‰οΈ

Not commenting on whether it is or isn't a mythology. However, my understanding is that it is a religious text of a still practiced religion. Calling it a mythology will bother some especially if the word "mythology" is being used as a descriptor and not actually a part of the title of the deal in question.

Let's try to bring discussion back to the deal and not religion.

It is not a religious text of a practiced religion. Growing up I read short stories about Mahabharata and watched television series. It contains a lot of the Hindu gods but by no means is it something of a religious text. Bhagavath geetha I have seen people using as religious text, but in current political climate everything is made out to be holy and holy text.

Right. This is how it was for us as well. The Vedas and the Upanishads are considered to be the religious texts of Hinduism. Mahabharata is a fascinating read but not a foundational religious text.

Very true. It is Itihasa .."It has happened" and anyone with intelligence effort historian can challenge it but mlecchas wouldn't know.

I think the copyright on this book has already expired in like 3rd century BCE.
Why pay for public domain materials?

Bad deal. The Christian mythology can be found for free online and in bedside tables at hotels.
