The Mahabharat is mythological', said Gandhi!

March 29, 2007

Gandhi's picture where he is dressed in a loincloth, with a copy of

the Bhagwad Gita at his side - is a common sight throughout India.

Gandhi did not accept Sri Krishna as God, but as a man with

exceptional qualities.

Gandhi believed that Mahabhaharat was a work of fiction and that it

did not actually take place. He said, 'Pandav's and Kaurav's are in

reality the conflict between good and bad tendencies within us.

Pandav's are the good tendencies and Kauravs, the bad ones',

In the Eleventh Chapter of Gita, it is said that Lord Krishna shows

His formidable form to Arjuna. According to Gandhi this chapter was

interpolated, meaning that it was not there in the original Gita and

that someone appended it later. The same Gandhi, it is said,

discovered 'Yoga of non-attachment' from the same Bhagwad Gita! It

is said that he discovered Satyagraha from Gita as well!

Burn the treatises on Gita, which do not acknowledge Lord Krishna to

be the Supreme God.' - Gurudev, Dr. Kaate Swami ji (Ghangarjit,

January 2006)

Dear Member, On what basis Gandhiji could have assumed, if at all he harboured the views as you mentioned. it is a fashion to descredit Puranas as fiction of some great brains. but it is illogical to say that Mahabharat or Ramayan were just stories and not realities. just because Modern history is incapabale of confirming past as old as 5000 years does not mean that people didn't lived in that era or before that. any ways, Gandhiji's remarks must not be taken seriously in this regards. regards, utpal
