More DescriptionThe Mahabharata is the greatest spiritual epic in the world. It's also the longest poem: reaching nearly two million words in length and divided into eighteen books. Because of its large size, it can be difficult for a person to read it. The Bhagavad Gita is more well known because of its short and spiritually enlightening dialogue. The epic itself, however, contains much more wisdom besides the Gita. Unfortunately, this wisdom often goes less noticed. It is the goal of this book, The Vedic Sayings of the Mahabharata, to make the wisdom of it more accessible by separating and placing its witty and thought-provoking sayings into categories. It contains over 2,500 quotes from the epic, covering various topics about family, friendship, forgiveness, kings, war, self-control, karma, yoga, and much more.
