If you don't know, Mahabharata Has over 100k characters. From extreme bad guy to extreme good and in between all. It has every kind of human emotion and interaction. It is a timeless Epic!
@@rupalroy4966 GOT is inspired by different time periods in European history. In particular, the War of the Roses in England. Stop trying to take credit for everything in the world. 😂
Not just for Hindus, I am muslim ,we grew up watching Mahabharata as a family n society. I remember my neighbours would come to watch it in our home as we had colour TV at home, they would put diya 🪔 in front of tv. I loved the women empowerment part by Draupadi. She was my favourite character. It is our culture and history as a Indian.
I was 11 years old while watching this series. I'm from a Muslim family... Honestly man this changed everything! This changed ME FOREVER! I'M ON A SPIRITUAL PATH AND WANNA BECOME A HINDU HISTORY, SCRIPTURE SPECIALIST!
Same happened to me. Being a Hindu I recently finished this story and I wish to know the real story from Ved Vyas. This story literally changed my core, my beliefs.
Kiddo, if you think Mahabharat from 2013 was great. Then you should check the 1990s Mahabhart series, that was truly Epic. We made advancements in technology, but the overacting and bad cg in 2013 show is awful. Please do yourself a favor and check 1990s show or ask your parents about how good it was.
@@mucool328 It depends tbh...I like 2013 more, because its more dramatic, and tries to atleast glorifies the visuals...which according to my taste is better, and the characters they had chosen, god!!! they were so apt. Saurabh jain as krishna ji is what I imagine when I think of krishna.🥹The songs also attracted the audience. Also I was just 8-9 then, in my formative years, so people tend to like what they see in their youth.
Mahabharat is world's Longest Poem. About 10 times as long as 'The Iliad' & 'The Odyssey's combined. More than 220000 verses (about 1.8 million words). So yeah.. ITS EPIC.
Even though I'm not hindu, I grew up on these stories, thought this epic has god's in it it's not a tale about god's, it's a tale about human emotions, greed, lust, jealous, vice, revenge, vengeance, justice, knowledge, sacrifice, punishment, love evey emotion available. it's a human story, and is very relevant to this day.
Thats absoulety correct. People in India now use Ramayana Mahabharata for political gains and some of the godly characters for divisive politics . So sad and injustice to the epics
How can you say that maha bharat is about Bhagvad Gita and lord krishna the most important deity in hindu religion you people make me sick how you try to negate our gods and define according to your misinterpretations so intolerant indeed its like saying the bible is not about god
Mahabharat is a saga in which each character is unique in its own way. Every character is so rich and diversified that if you watch the scenario from his/her angle you will witness a new vision. Only Lord Krishna is the one who can tell you if you were right or wrong in your doings. For example:- I'm a huge fan of Shakuni, if Lord Krishna was not favouring Pandavas he alone without even lifting any weapon was capable enough to destroy them. He was so intelligent that only Lord Krishna can outwit him. I can go on an on.....
Maha Bharath is Not religious story Not a mythology Not a moral story It is Ithihas means history. History of India . Yes it political. No comparision to Greek mythology. I tell my daughter this as a bed time story among other Lord Vishnu avatars I learned it throughout my life from many great pravachans ( speakers). It is a lifetime learning process.
Mahabharata, maha means great, bharatha means indias name after bharatha started ruling india, brother of king avathar rama, it happened 5000 years ago and many proofs are there, krishna was an avathar who was the master mind to spread good ethics and values to humanity to Indian culture
@@athulkrishna2526 one small correction. Bharath was not named after Rama's brother but his ancestor. There was one Bharatha who was the son of Shakuntla and king Dushyanth who was way before Ramayana.
Itihasa is not fantasy, it is not history either at least not in Sanskrit. Sanskrit words and Hindi words may sound the same but do not always have the same meaning. Nyaya, for example, in Sanskrit means ‘method of rational reasoning’ and refers to a philosophical school of thought (darshana), while in Hindi it means ‘justice’. In Sanskrit, itihasa means cultural memoir, and refers to the epics Ramayana and Mahabharata that connect Ram and Krishna to Vishnu. in Hindi, itihasa means history, a subject that considers Ramayana and Mahabharata as Sanskrit literary works, not more than 2,500 years old, composed using Panini grammar, retelling ancient orally transmitted tales, which contain cultural frameworks, such as the concepts of karma, dharma, atma and avatara. (Not my writing, got it from an article explaining the meaning)
Mahabharata is not just limited to Hindus, it is more or less embedded in the Indian Psyche as a whole, with enormous references, metaphors and cultural nuances across the country
"What is not in it, is nowhere," is what is said about the Mahabharata. An Indian epic that has love, politics, emotion, drama, moral values, action, betrayal, celebration, suspense, etc. Lots of Indian and possibly foreign stories and myths have been inspired by the Mahabharata. It is also the longest poetry in the world. The Bhagavad Gita is a part of Mahabharata. Another such great Indian epic is the Ramayana. A really good Indo-Japanese animated adaptation of it was also made in 1992, a movie that I watched countless times growing up. IMO, a recommended watch. There have also been other adaptations of Mahabharata and Ramayana. The theme song you watched is from the one Star Plus made in 2013. Both are very fascinating and engaging epic tales, even for non-Hindus.
Lol..Do you believe God needs weapons and rides to fight against his enemy which are creation of him.And they also fight against each other.This is like greek or egyptian mythology.. Comic book, bedtime story told and written by some ancient people
The enemies were the bad guys which are human and gods can't fight a mere human. To fight with them and maintain the balance they takes birth as human and fight as a HUMAN.
@@hollowhuman6195 if God always interfere with human fights and war what will human learn , human will stop doing anything for betterment of society so thats why God only influence people by coming in human form but do not fight himself
@@avicr4727 Yes lord Krishna had said that, every time when evil will rise I will come to kill them and help the good ones for the betterment of the society so this world won't stop
@@hollowhuman6195 You sound about as hollow as your name is. Hinduism is all about god not doing things for us he/her powers, they do things or express things through enabling us humans to learn from our experiences. I’m fed up of hearing the stupid abrahamic view of god is meant to be all powerful. Yes god is all powerful but what do we learn from him/her intervening in everything that we do? Do we learn anything? That’s the fundamental difference between Hindu thought and Abrahamic thought.
I rarely comment or give suggestions on RU-vid but guys this epic is not something to be missed. Especially the B.R.Chopra's mahabharat which is available on RU-vid with English subtitles. It has minimum special effects which magnificently captures the raw essence of heroes & villians & who they were as individuals. Would love to go on mahabharat journey once again with you guys. It not only throws light on something that is essence of Vedic indian culture but also gives pebbles of wisdom that are indescribable. Hope to see that on your channel!
It has been so many years since this show ended......and I still get goosebumps every time I listen to this song....both the Mahabharat shows are the two gems in the history of Indian shows...
well let me tell you that mahabharat is way more epic than bahubali if you see both parellel to each other you will find some similarity between characters like: bhishma, krishna- kattapa (sacrificing, showing right path, due to promise have to stay on side of evil ) shakuni, dhritrastra= bhalaldev's father {body problems} bahubali=pandavs (both's father were given throne due to incapabilty of elder brother) kaurav= bhaladev (anger for brother) panchali- devsena(bold, confident, liked by both brohters, was molested, lead to husband's departure from palace) lot more
This song always gives me goosebumps and nostalgia when I used to watch this show with my Grandparents. When it rebroadcasted in lockdown I watched the whole series again but I felt it more dramatic than the first time
The thing with Mahabharata and Ramayana is that they are national treasure and not any religion specific even though it has Hindu related characters. This is because these tales are focused on how life, world, people and relationships work. These are based on humanity more than religion. In India and beyond, these tales belong to everyone. ❤️
This show had a very low budget but the dialogues of this show were amazing. Hats off to the writers of this show. I have seen this show multiple times and I'll never get bored repeating this show. Amazing actors too. Especially Draupadi in this show. Too underrated.
Old version is best but This new version is best in visual aspect. I personally recommend you to see it for yourself because making reaction videos on it might be not a good decision (200+ episodes 😅). It will help you to see life in a different way 🙌epic
Well if you think the older version is free from flaws then you are wrong, there are several mistakes made in the serial too. Personally i have watched both Mahabharat, and I love both of them. New one is not only known for its vfx but it has some amazing life lessons given in between the episodes by Krishna Ji's character explained in an easy and beautiful manner. I know the older mahabharat has that ancient feel, but it doesn't mean the others cannot ge good.
@@positivevibesonly4632 yes ma'am..u r right...Old one also had diversions and incorrect facts(eg bheem's strength was equivalent to 10000 elephants...This show showed it to be that of 70);but still old one was factually closest and excellent... I know I am giving a childish example 😂 but m a fan of both versions) from the written fact...But new one had too much diversions but still it was really very good show to watch and still more than good enough to learn...Except the Ekta kapoor's Mahabharat..It was trash
If you thought GOT was legendary, this is a different kind of beast. GoT would look like a comic. Not talking about this particular series, but that original story, the greatest of all epics.
@@vidhansahu u sound like someone who'd say all trans people r trenders. Not everything is a trend. Get over it. People may have different beliefs that yours nd than completely valid
Korbin Nailed it, its like retelling a stories from Holy Books. Highly Recommend you watch it from beginning, you are not gonna stop after watching first episode
OMG! when Lord Krishna appeared, ! got goosebumps all over my body, not one time but multiple times throughout the video, and when he showed Arjun his Virat Avatar.. was EPIC, that actor ,for me.. in personification of a god.. would be him and only him because he also portrayed the role of Lord Vishnu in Devon Ke Dev, Mahadev & in that lord Shiva, Narayana ere my favourite God bless!!
Korbin was spot on about the Telugu song from “Maya Bazaar”. That movie is a part of a branching story from the Mahabharat epic where in the song, Ghatodkach, son of Bheem(one of the Pandavas) foils the marriage plan between son of Duryodhana (main antagonist of Mahabharat) and daughter of Balarama (Krishna’s brother)
Mayabazar story not in mahabharath Abhimanyu real wife is Uttara In mayabazar Shashikala charecter is frictional As per reality Balaram didn't had any doughter
This show has a few promos that a very beautifully made that gives a glimpse into the story arc of each character. And that with subtitles for these guys would def peek the interest of the two.
These epics dont have anything to do with ones religion. Every religion ultimately teaches you to live like a good person. Anyone from any corner of the world can watch these and learn valuable lessons.

In vedas, this epic came under history section. There are two most important sacred books in history section of Sanatan dharm(Hindu religion) "Bhagwat-Geeta" & "Ramayan" . Bhagwat-Geeta is conversation between Arjun and supreme Krishna in form of song. Because our ancestors knew. Song is easy way to transfer knowledge for one generation to another generation.Geeta include all kind answer related to life. And "Mahabharat" is story of every character in that war.

Oh yeah! Yeah! Yeah! I loved Draupadi Janam sequence. This show was incredible! And all the songs-OMG. But I worry that English translation of the lyrics would lose their charm. Though, the music , the acting, the story everything else could be enjoyed.
This is not a tale , it is an emotion for us as it is an endless tale bcoz Hari anant , Hari katha anant and it shows aur kinds of people in a society either be most clever or smartest . It gives us infinite messages at a particular instance too
It's not story it's real happened in dwapara Yuga ended around 3100 BC. And according to the Vedas and other calculations, the Mahabharata happened at the end of Dwapara Yuga, exactly around 3137 BC.
You alone are not India. Not watching this may mean not knowing you; there are millions of Indians who don’t care about Mahabharat or at least are not “made” by it
@@pitco well done dummy, You just said that culture doesn't exist or shape the humans who live in its influence. The point isn't that most people have read or heard about it, the point is, it has influenced the indian psyche in a way that irrespective of what religion, region, language you happen to have, the morals and essence of the epic is embedded within. Its so amusing to see plebs like you refute the very core of the Indian cultural make up. Get educated sonny.
Mahabharata is not only associated with Hinduism, it is associated with Indian Subcontinent in general.! It is an epic like Gilgamesh of Mesopotamia. The ideas, stories, the messages, the complexities are beyond something one can imagine. This epic brings out the grey nature of human beings. how both heros and villains are overlapping in their actions. No one is absolutely bad or good, only relatively! and all of this greyish stuff is coming together in other characters. Mahabharat is the name of the war which is actually the climax of this epic. It is of great cultural significance! I'm a Muslim and ig, I know more about it than my hindu friends because im an history student and love literature... This show particularly do justice to it's glory, it's one of the few great Indian television shows.. Everyone should watch it!
Your words sounds so true and feel with pride in it brother. This is the youth our India needs not like those who finds reasons to break rather than atleast one reason to stay together.
Okay you're a bit mistaken here. Hindu and Indian is the same thing. The people of Central Asia associated India with the Indus river called Sindhu in Hindi, as they couldn't properly pronounce it they started calling Indians as Hindu and later during the British rule, it was still associated with Indus river hence came the name India. Many people would be ignorant and call Hinduism a religion, but it is not. We belong to Sanatan meaning eternal truth, and it ain't even a religion, it's a philosophy and sadly most of the Sanatani people who call themselves as Hindu doesn't even know about this so it's obvious for you to get mistaken too.
well now this is where you become truely Indianized. Mahabharat is the greatest of all Indian Epics. It is the greatest story ever told. Ved Vyas's epic is the story of all stories.
For Rick : Yes sir it is the actual "telling" of religious beliefs and this epic gives us the Holy Book Bhagvat Geeta dictated in the middle of a battle by lord Krishna to the Great Archer Arjun
Mahabharata is an exposition of dharma (codes of conduct), including the proper conduct of a king, of a warrior, of an individual living in times of calamity, and of a person seeking to attain moksha (freedom from samsara, or rebirth).
@@aayushiarya8028 Umm, actually I am not being confrontational it's just people who don't know exactly what's what or/are from different cultures might get mixed up on it. So, what I commented is actually true. Gita, teaches a lifestyle. Mahabharata is an epic (poetic form of storytelling) which engulfes everything from the start to the end of dwapar yug. Peace 🙏
@@M3sngR Dude, Bhagavadgita is a part of Mahabharat. So no need for your unnecessary smartness. Even after being a part of Mahabharat, there are lots of things In Mahabharat which can be learned apart from Gita.
Mahabharat;- If you see this as entertainment purpose then it's just a show. If you try to relate with you and the world of today you will learn many things from this. Definitely Mahabharat should made in a high budget and release it worldwide. Not just Mahabharat the Hindu sculptures have many books that are based on true events with a great story ❣️

This Mahabharata is the history of several thousand years before when people in Europe and America were living a primitive life in the jungle. The cruel British did the work of crushing our culture and civilization. But the time will come, India will become a golden lion this time 💪
