The Mahábhárata’s author is Veda Vyasa. He was:

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The fruits of caturvarga are:

dharma
artha
káma
mokśa

From itihása, man gets:

these fruits
a system of the dos and don’ts of niiti.

Káma is the desire for mundane objects – name, fame, wealth, etc. This includes getting food and clothing.

The Role of Lord Krśńa

Thu, 03 Aug 1967 00:00:00 +0000

The small states in Bháratavarśa were always at war with one another because they were selfish.

Each state wanted to expand and consume others.

Amga Desha (now the Bhagalpur area) adjoined Magadha, and across the Ganges was Vaeshalii.

The Aryans

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

When the Aryans came from Central Asia to India, they came first to Punjab.

Next they entered the Kashmir area.

The Education System of the Mahábhárata Age

Sun, 10 Sep 1967 00:00:00 +0000

In the Vedic age, there was no educational system in particular.

Generally, students would go to the guru’s house at the age of 5 and complete their studies at 24 and return home.

Emergence of the Sanskrit Language

Sun, 10 Sep 1967 00:00:00 +0000

Logic (nyaya), social code (smrti), Sanskrit grammar and the science of spirituality were included in the educational curriculum of the then period.

But that which we call philosophy today had not yet been born.

The Education System of the Buddhist Age

Sun, 10 Sep 1967 00:00:00 +0000

The Veda has 2 parts:

Karmakanda
Jiṋánakanda

The Jiṋánakanda has 2 parts:

Aranyaka
Upaniśads

So the influence of the Upaniśads on the Gitá and even on Krśńa is very clear.

The Medical Science of the Mahábhárata period

Sun, 17 Sep 1967 00:00:00 +0000

Western Medicine

Allopathic treatment is a direct treatment of the disease.

A particular disease is cured with the appropriate kind of medicine.

Ayurveda

According to ayurveda, disease starts when the balance of the body is lost due to the increase or decrease of váyu or pitta or kapha.

Mesmerism

Sun, 17 Sep 1967 00:00:00 +0000

It is improper to think that everything in India has come from abroad.

Bhaskaracarya first discovered:

that the earth was round, not Copernicus
that the earth is moving, not by Galileo
the law of gravitation, not by Newton.

Homeopathy sprang up in India itself. Nor did surgery originate with Aryans, but in India.

The Social Structure of the Mahábhárata period

Sun, 01 Oct 1967 00:00:00 +0000

A solid social structure, a social system, did not exist then.

Society was yet to evolve one. Even the present Sanatana social system was not yet fully developed.

The Social Structure and Other Features of the Mahábhárata period

Sun, 17 Sep 1967 00:00:00 +0000

DRESS

Dhuti and cádar are India’s own dress.

To stitch a shirt and the like was not done in ancient India. But sometimes there was inconvenience with the cádar, so people began getting it stitched.

Lord Krśńa's Unique Approach

Sun, 17 Sep 1967 00:00:00 +0000

All the characters in the Mahábhárata, from beginning to end, were simply puppets on the stage.

They were made to dance by the tricks of Lord Krśńa alone. The life of Lord Krśńa justifies His practical approaches.

Fighting Evil

Sun, 17 Sep 1967 00:00:00 +0000

Kansa was a most wicked king. Wicked-minded people always unite to save their position.

The reign of Kansa had one speciality: the profusion of male and female spies.

In each and every village he had his spies.

Krishna Killing Evil People

Sun, 17 Sep 1967 00:00:00 +0000

Jarasandha would usually attack the Shurasena.

The capital of Shurasena was Mathura.

The righteous people then were not united. It was not possible to fight against Jarasandha.

The Origins of the Caste System

Sun, 17 Sep 1967 00:00:00 +0000

There was no caste [[discrimination]].

One belonged to a particular caste according to one’s livelihood.

Garga, the uncle of Krśńa, was a Vipra. Krśńa’s father, Vasudeva, was a warlike Kśatriya.

Gandhari of Kandahar

Sun, 19 Nov 1967 00:00:00 +0000

Gandhari was an Afghan lady.

She lived in Kandahara, Gandhara in Sanskrit, in Afghanistan.

Indian people called Kandahara “Pratyanta Desha” – the extreme border area, not exactly Indian.

Planning for the Mahávishva

Sun, 17 Sep 1967 00:00:00 +0000

Now the universe has become very small. People are able to travel from one planet to another.

When there was no convenience of conveyances, Lord Krśńa planned the Mahábhárata to unite the scattered India.

The Moral Standard of the Mahábhárata period

Sun, 17 Sep 1967 00:00:00 +0000

The people were ignorant. But they were not immoral – this was their greatest quality.

Some Characters of the Mahábhárata

Mon, 12 Feb 1968 00:00:00 +0000

Intellectually, the most important aspect of Krśńa’s personality was:

the creation of great personalities
the clear demonstration that satya ultimately triumphs and papa is ultimately defeated.

Whatever Parama Puruśa does in the mental sphere, that becomes a reality for human beings.

Karna and Draopadi

Sun, 17 Sep 1967 00:00:00 +0000

All the characters of the Mahábhárata were conceived of for the purpose of educating the masses.

The events and the setting were all nicely planned out, just as a dramatist selects some special character and events that suit his purpose.

Krśńa, the Author of the Mahábhárata War

Sun, 17 Sep 1967 00:00:00 +0000

The Mahábhárata war was not a spontaneous one. Rather, this great event was planned out by Lord Krśńa Himself.

What is mere mental imagination for Parama Puruśa seems real to human beings. Lord Krśńa is the central figure of the Mahábhárata.

Krśńa, the Nucleus of the Universe

Sun, 28 Apr 1968 00:00:00 +0000

The events of the Mahábhárata, as designed by Lord Krśńa, were real, or seemed to be real historical facts to the masses.

This entire quinquelemental universe is just the mental imagination of Parama Puruśa, a macro-psychic conation.
