Mahabharata. Illustrated

C. Rajagopalachari,

About this book

In this masterful retelling of India's greatest epic, C. Rajagopalachari — statesman, scholar, and one of the foremost interpreters of Indian thought — presents the timeless story of the Mahabharata in clear, vivid, and deeply humane prose. Written with both literary grace and moral insight, his version brings to life the grandeur, tragedy, and spiritual depth of the ancient Sanskrit epic for modern readers. The Mahabharata, one of the world's longest and most profound poems, tells of the great war between the Pandavas and the Kauravas — a conflict that is both a cosmic struggle and a mirror of human frailty. Rajagopalachari's retelling preserves the epic's moral complexity and philosophical richness while making its stories accessible and compelling. Through his lucid narrative, the heroes and sages of ancient India — Krishna, Arjuna, Bhishma, Draupadi, and others — emerge not as distant mythic figures, but as living symbols of courage, duty, and moral conflict. Balancing epic action with spiritual reflection, Rajagopalachari captures the essence of the Mahabharata as a guide to ethical living and self-knowledge. The narrative's timeless teachings on dharma (righteousness), justice, and the battle between good and evil resonate as powerfully today as they did millennia ago. First published in 1951, C. Rajagopalachari's Mahabharata remains a cornerstone of modern Indian literature — a work of clarity, devotion, and wisdom that bridges the ancient and the contemporary, the mythical and the human. It stands not only as a retelling of an epic, but as an enduring meditation on life's deepest truths.
