Ganguly's complete English translation of the Mahabharata

[Guest guest]

Dear Maharajas, Prabhus and Matajis,

 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

In the download section of my website

you will find a copy of Ganguly's complete English translation of the

Mahabharata (originally in 13 hardback volumes) in HTML format. It is in a

7.5 MB zipped file.

 

The Mahabharata explains by example how Lord Krsna's Vedic culture and

Varnashrama Dharma are meant to work. Where the Manu Smriti is a concise

book of laws for Mankind the Mahabharata shows how those laws are applied.

The Mahabharata along with the Ramayana have been the main foundation for

the continuation of Vedic culture because they are easily accessible to the

masses. The Mahabharata was actually written for the unfortunate people of

the Kali Yuga to help uplift them. A close study of the Mahabharata and

Ramayana in conjunction with the Manu Samhita would serve as good guide on

how to implement Varnashrama Dharma. And, in conjunction with the Srimad

Bhagavatam, insight into Daivi Varnashrama Dharma. The Mahabharata is thus

an essential text for anyone interested in implementing VAD.

 

The Mahabharata is a vast treasure house of Brahminical knowledge and as the

Mahabharat itself says: "What is found in the Mahabharata may be found in

other texts; whatever is not found in the Mahabharata is not found

anywhere."

 

 

You will also find a PDF copy of a canto of Agnivesa's Caraka Samhita (an

Ayurvedic text) entitled Sarirasthana, a fascinating account of how the body

is formed starting with philosophical details, conception, karmic details,

embryology etc. I once gave this text to an obstetrician to read while she

was waiting to see me and was astounded at how much knowledge was contained

in such an ancient text. Size 14 MB

 

Your humble servant
