MAHABHARATA
One of the world’s oldest epics Certainly, the longest epic ever Known and loved by all Indians Composed and retold by the Sage Vyasa, who is also a main character Written down by Ganesha in one stretch without a break Supposedly, if you read the whole thing, you will ascend to the world of Brahma and be equal to the gods
Story of a great war between two related families: the Pandavas and the Kurus; Includes a long “sermon” by Krishna (avatar of Vishnu), which is considered one of the holy books of Hinduism; Many moral lessons about doing your duty to caste and society (dharma) and what happens when they conflict. Plots, sub-plots, and sub-sub plots...like Gilgamesh, the Bible and Star Wars wrapped in one
