In conversation with Devdutt Pattanaik on the book Mahabharata. (The Mahabharata is an epic narrative of the Kurukshetra War and the fates of the Kaurava and the Pandava princes) Anchor - Purushottam Agrawal
देवदत्त पटनायक ने epics को जिस खूबसूरती से पेश किया वह निःसन्देह काबिल ए तारीफ़ है।भारतीय शास्त्रों को वैज्ञानिक एवं रोचक बनाने के साथ ही साथ प्रासंगिक भी बना देती है देवदत्त की अभिव्यक्ति ।साधुवाद देवदत्त!!!!
Not indian, nor any of my ancestors in last 7 generations were born in India, But I do understand well what they were talking about it.. And I found this talk very intriguing. Truly two learned man, discussing .. even when they laughed feel like, two very learned person laughing at their agreement on the general belief of disagreement against what they are agreeing upon, which seems obvious to disagree upon. I hope I made sense.
as always, Kitab is a Gem of a program and this episode like earlier ones was enlightening. We thank Indian Government for coming out with programs like this one, which private TV channels would not do it. Cannot get a better conductor than Purshottam Agarwalji!
RSTV is channel of Rajya Sabha and not of Government(Executive). DD News is the channel owned by Central Executive. :) Just Clearing the facts nothing else, In a episode of Sarokar, Host of that show amrita ray also cleared the same to a Guest. :)
The epics are not just stories written to depict values and morality but true incidents recorded for inspiring humans to think and do karma, it is not just stories or myths with hidden interpretations and intentions but again true incident. The Mahabharata and Ramayana are two greatest epic written but filled with knowledge a and wisdom. It also shows us how advanced warfare system and technological was in India 5000 years ago also.🙏🏾🕉🇮🇳
even i think its not just a myth it is every impossible to write thriller story like this which every character has a purpose and we are connected to it
At the end of discussion Sri Devadathji concludes Mahabharata epic is a diversity. Yes it is the characterisation of different personalities. It is the exhibition of different characteristics we could find in this world. By creating diverse personalities each one is attributed with one specific characterstic. By narrating different stories it teaches how to get over certain definite situation successfully. The person who reads Mahabharata keenly will undergo different stages at different sections of epic. It would be difficult for the reader to come to a conclusion on any one personality because the characterisation by the author Sri Veda Vyasa is as such in the epic it becomes difficult to judge who is correct and who is wrong. Knowing this the Author made a digest called Bhagavath Geetha where in he places the reader in the domain of Arjuna and advice the reader to be himself, to do the duties assigned to him and leave the results to God Almighty. In the present day generation of our country we may find nearly 1.25 billion different diversities which had been reflected in this great epic.

Agrawal ji Mahabharata ko lekar bahut argument kar rage he but devdutt is so nice ek teacher ko Mahabharata Jo ki ek mahakabya he isko lekar argument nahin karna chahiye....
just for clarification, myth does not mean "a lie" it means my truth which can differ from other people's truth. Whether or not the incidents narrated in the Mahabharata really took place as it cannot be proved ( I agree with Mr Pattanaik) but it is certainly a myth but not a lie
I am satisfied with his role as a host,he is better than Arnab or any other TRP mongering assholes who don't restrict the questions spewing their ill-intellect mind.
So basically its just an Idea a thought process,just like West World where the idea is the cloning of conscious and it's a whole universe in itself which enlighten us with the raw data in the sense of Real world drama.
The Mahabharat is a dharmic text and should be read with shraddha and bhakti. Such is advised by the saints. Mlechas must refrain from reading dharmic texts as it would not benefit them.
Milin Patel it does not matter if you consider Krishna as God because by you considering or not it will not change the reality.Read Bhagvad Geeta and improve your knowledge fool
How wrong is the interpretation. The Mahabharata is a civil war and not against external aggression. Devdutt Pattanaik has essentially extracted any sacredness that was attached to the great epics.
