Mahabharata is one of the major epics of the World. It tells the story of mankind in a way which is unparalleled in world literature. Although considered by many as a Mythology, it is, in fact, the cultural history of the people of the Bharata land (India). The characters of the Mahabharata might be fictitious, but their dreams, ambitions, and flaws are very real and still exists in us. The great sage Maharishi Krishna Dwaipayan Vyasa composed the epic in Sanskrit. Later many others have contributed to the storyline. Storytellers over the ages have told the stories of Mahabharata in different languages. Over the ages, the epic has inspired many artists, poets, writers, filmmakers, theater directors and playwrights to create new works of art. This channel tells the story once again in an audio podcast format. Each episode is written, directed and narrated by Sudipta Bhawmik. Music and audio design and production done by Avi Ziv.
This is very good. Probably the best audio for The Mahabharat. In love with this and would recommend everyone who wants to listen to The Mahabharat. I just have a genuine question/complain (with no offence and comes from my genuine feelings and good conscience) about the pronunciation of all the characters. Is there a reason to pronounce the character's name with the "A" sound? For ex. Why not say "Ar-jun" instead of "Ar-jun-A"?

I'm no expert, I'm just an average American middle-aged white guy who has an interest in the Philosophy of Religion. To me, it seems that knowing these tales is an important part of understanding Hinduism. Thank you for posting these episodes. They've been a great resource and I am very appreciative of your efforts to produce them. The quality is very high, especially considering it's free content anyway. A Like and Subscribe was a small price to pay imo.
Dear creator, Mahabharata was a "yadartha ethihasa" as said by Vedavyasa in the beginning of Mahabharata. This is so true that Vedavyasa keeps you watching and gets mesmerised while you listen or read the Mahabharata.
I just discovered that Google Podcasts were no longer available and had a mini heart attack that I wouldn't get to complete this podcast. Thank goodness it's now on RU-vid!
