The Mahabharata has deeply influenced every aspect of Indian culture over the last 5,000 years and is revered as the Fifth Veda by Hindus. Even though the main theme of the epic is the Great War in Kurukshetra, it comprises many stories and other stories within stories, all woven together, offering us rich and various parables, insightful dialogues, discussions between various characters and beautiful metaphors. As the famous saying goes, What is found here about the four human pursuits i.e., dharma, artha, kama and moksha, may be found elsewhere. However, what is not found here will not be found elsewhere. No wonder that many believe this most magnificent epic to be the greatest story ever told.

We will reflect on the various characters of this profound text, their inner conflicts, ethical challenges, the emotions they go through, their insights and doubts, mistakes and falls, as they navigate their lives and strive towards freedom.
