PDF The Story of Krishna by Malay Dayal in History

Description

A stunningly lyrical work; The Great Golden Sacrifice of the Mahabharata reinterprets Vyasa?s epic from Arjuna?s point of view. As Arjuna relives the battle of Kurukshetra; he senses a profound change coming upon himself. He begins to understand the true meaning of surrender and sacrifice. The book comprises three parts; narrated principally by Arjuna. Part I takes us through the childhood and youth of the Pandavas and Kauravas; the game of dice; the Pandavas? exile; and ends with the armies arrayed for battle at Kurukshetra. Part II recounts the battle itself; and the teachings of the Bhagvad Gita. Part III presents a moving and brilliantly original take on the Mahabharata; as Lidchi-Grassi gives a voice to the forgotten victims of every war?the ordinary citizens who must pick themselves up; and resume the business of life. An old order has been swept away; but can the new age?the Kali Yuga?help lessen human strife and misery? Vastly ambitious in scope and epic in scale; The Great Golden Sacrifice of the Mahabharata is an astonishing read.
