Mahabharata is Current News

While there will continue to be endless and scholarly discussions as regards the exact history and geography of The Mahabharata, let at least some of us wake up to the fact that The Bhagawad Gita (which is a small part of the Great Epic) itself, at the end of each chapter affirms that the particular chapter is in fact a limb of the Body of Knowledge, of the science of Yoga, which in fact is the science of expanding one's consciousness from the limited to the Infinite.

Thus, The Mahabharata, rather that being viewed as history or mythology, should be absorbed as the Greatest Metaphor ever. The Kauravas are none other than the hurdles within us that need to be addressed, before any progress could be made. These hurdles have been listed by Paramhamsa Yogananda as under:
