Annie Besant: The story of the Great War: some lessons from the Mahabharata - eBook

It is the story of the Aryan race in India some five thousand years ago and includes an account of the epic war between the Pandavas and Kauravas two groups descended from king Bharata from whom India takes its name Bharata. This eBook is based on notes of lectures delivered by Dr Besant (deep scholar in Hinduism as well as comparative religion and international president of the theosophical society 1907-33) at the central Hindu college Benares (now Varanasi) in the first decade of this century.

Dr Besant describes the Mahabharata as a great teacher of ethics and philosophy and it is also history. The original in Sanskrit verse, Dr Besant say is the greatest poem in the world. There is no other poem so splendid as this so full of what we want to know and of what is good for us to study.
