The Hidden Story of the Mahabharata

With Inner Meanings from Paramhansa Yogananda

About this book

The Hidden Story of the Mahabharata reveals a treasure trove of practical spiritual wisdom that most people miss. Woven subtly into this compelling tale of dharma, righteous action, is a profound inner teaching, and Paramhansa Yogananda’s insights bring it to life, pointing the way to true happiness and inner freedom.


Nayaswami Gyandev’s riveting storytelling takes you deep into this beloved saga, from its celestial origin to its surprising ending. Occasional explanations from Yogananda never break the story’s magical spell. Instead, they make it highly personal by addressing such down-to-earth topics as:

  • The battle within each spiritual seeker
  • What our ultimate victory really depends on
  • How to know whether an action will lead to true happiness
  • Essential qualities to develop for growth
  • How to avoid the countless traps of desire and attachment
  • Navigating the subtleties of right and wrong action
  • The crucial role of will power and how to increase it
  • Countering the ego’s clever ways of holding us back
  • Why and how we must overcome even good habits
  • How personal effort fits with divine grace

The Hidden Story of the Mahabharata has everything you love about this timeless scripture—and more.
