 I agree.  ii is not easy to know which Book on Mahabharata is genuine and which is fake. I read the Mahabharata written by Vyasa. And I also used to hear regularly, Harikatha's  on both both Mahabharata and Ramayana.

Baghvad Gita is the essence of Mahabharatha on which there are no disputes.

,Mahabharata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India. The the other is the Ramayana. none of them have disputes. Disputes are created by the self appointed religious Gurus,Mahabharata has a plethora of life lessons, which are useful to all.

Can you name at least one or two of these self appointed religious gurus ? or are simply shooting away as always to gain points ?

Radhe Maa to Sarathi Baba, all are self styled religious Gurus.

Did they write Mahabharat or distort facts pertaining to Mahabharat ?

No they did not write mahabharata, but to win over the people with their false beliefs.

 

 Bhagvat Gita, the essence of Mhabharata teaches a big lesson to all "Karma or your work is your worship. You should do your work without worrying about the result or without expectation".

But if you see these self acclaimed Gurus, they distort the fact and make you God fearing by instilling the fear of Good karma ad bad karma and what you migth suffer. So they enforce result on you, something you do not need to worry about

The entire gist of BhagavatGita can be stated  to be an allegory to explain fundamental, explicit hidden truths of life. The fight between Pandavas and Kauravas demonstrates the ever going fight between Positive and dark forces of nature.

Religion is a business for these self acclaimed Gurus.

    The entire gist of Bhagavad Gita can be stated to be an allegory to explain fundamental, inherent explicit hidden truths of life! The fight between Pandavas and Kauravas demonstrates the ever going fight between positive and dark forces of nature.

 At least when you copy and paste , which is almost always the case , have the decency to give credit to the source rather than claim as your own post ...

Be mindful of the company that you keep.

Duryodhana kept Shakuni around, and as a result Duryodhana became mired in Saskluni's evil plots and schemes, Where as Pandavas kept Krishna around and were saved many times over by his influence.

Good or help rendered to others without any expectations is the Real help.In Sanskrit it is known as nishkama karma.

Nisgkama Karma is essence of Bhagwat Geeta. karm kiya ja Phal Ki Ichha Mat Kar Insan

 

Purush Nhai smaya hot balwan, Bhilan chini gopiyana, wohi Arjun wohi ban.

Time is powerful than a person, it is lesson from Mahabharta.

One more wise quote from Mahabharat..

Those men are wise who do not desire the unattainable, who do not love to mourn over what is lost, and are not overwhelmed by calamities.

Learning household chores like cooking and cleaning can actually be beneficial. Such skills definitely make your life easy, less stressful and keep you occupied. We learned this from the Pandavas experience of an exile in the forest.

Most of us ladies especially housewives are doing that without learning about it from Pandavas ..
