These books have been instrumental in shaping my character. I credit these with instilling a lifelong love of reading in me. This is a great way of introducing people to the Mahabharata. I was delighted to re-read these after many years.

janisurai's review against another edition
5.0
'Whatever is found here may be found somewhere else, but what is not found here is found nowhere.' So says the Mahabharata, the longest epic in world literature. Found this beautiful three tome comic which gives a simplified version of the story and acquired footage of Sadhguru explaining the events from a yogi's perspective. This is not just a story, this is everyone's story. To see jealousy, valour, love, hate, lust, friendship and divinity personified in different characters. To learn from their mistakes without suffering the consequences yourself; truly a human story of the highest level. It is too complex to fathom, past lives, future lives, boons, curses, complicated family trees, a story spanning several generations, different races from celestials, demons, gods and brave and weak men alike. While reading about these valiant men, in their epic war, I was doing my best not to judge those from a different time period, but to live the experiences that they went through, so that I myself can grow. A lovely way to learn the basic structure of this story, so that when I do my further reading/viewing I have a some sort of idea of who is who, and what is going on.
