A mahabharata by ramesh menon pdf free download sensual, easy to read, fast-paced, novelistic version. Like all retellings, it shows the author's own idiosyncratic take on the characters and events.
He imbues the sex scenes particularly the sequence in which Kunti summons the Gods to father her children with luscious detail, has a science-fictional take on the vimanas, and is perhaps excessively fond of some unusual words, like "luculent.
If you are already familiar with the story, you will almost certainly enjoy this take on it. It's in two volumes, which are currently going for three dollars each on Kindle at Amazon. The deal of the millennium! Oct 11, Monty desai rated it it was amazing Shelves: my-favorite-books-of-all-timemy-favorite-life-changing-books.
Jan 21, Prasanna Herle rated it it was amazing. A lucid, racy and vivid interpretation of one of the greatest epic's, mahabharata by ramesh menon pdf free download. Once you start, you are compelled to read the next page; Truly UN-putdown able stuff!
Hats off to Ramesh menon for undertaking this humongous effort and coming out with this adaptation of an already spellbinding epic. Volume 1 covers the events before the war, while volume 2 isquite astoundingly, all about the 18 day only war! The memorable ups and downs as you read through the battles stay with you forever.
For example. An indescribable thrill rises up from within as you read through the exploits of daredevil Abhimanyu, all of 16, exploiting loopholes as well as keeping the enemies army and its much more experienced leaders at bay, all with a degree of panache and style that would have made his father burst with pride!
Alas, the sad, if inevitable conclusion to this tale as well as the deep, mahabharata by ramesh menon pdf free download, introspective way in which either sides are portrayed after this seminal event is one of the high-points of this book. Though i'm not sure of whether i would ever get to read and understand the book in it's original all encompassing avatar, i would surely recommend this edition of the epic as the starting point.
Aug 06, Girish Kohli rated it it was amazing. There can be nothing more timeless than The Mahabharata. Ramesh Menon renders the Mahabharata with a distinct taste of the old art of story telling. The Mahabharata contains the greatest characters and the greatest dialogues ever and is befittingly titled too. After reading the Mahabharata one realizes that every story ever told is just borrowed from some sub plot of this great epic. Even the villains in this great epic win your heart and the most inconsequential characters are so full of honor.
I am proud to belong to a country from where an epic like the Mahabharata was born. Jun 01, Manjul Kumari rated it it was amazing. The Mahabharata being a timeless classical tale of love, power, fratricide and politics Menon has done a great job in translating it. Being an abridged version it makes it easier for the reader to read it through like a novel skipping the heavier prologues. A must read for the young reader to understand the Indian epics.
Jun 27, Senthilkumar Gopal rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Any fantasy reader with a taste for Indian culture. This is an abridged version for the millennials to appreciate the richness of story play, character building and moral ethics. This book in a very simple way depicts the great epic as a singular threaded story.
It has succeeded in showing how Indian culture was totally moral and immoral at the same time with lofty price for values, family and friendship. You will definitely find all the important characters, their struggle with morality, twists and turns as suited for a great epic and enjoy the somber evening mahabharata by ramesh menon pdf free download a definite read for people reading about this for the first time.
However, the book fails to satisfy the affluent reader who knows the story very well and looks for all the nuances which was not easily accessible. Some of the background stories are indeed explained especially in the Vol. I, however the Vol. Would definitely give it a 3. Well it took me like 27 hours 24 days to finish this but it was all worth it. Written between BC and AD it is considered the greatest spiritual epic of all time.
The book largely concerns two groups of warring cousins symbolizing the fight between good and evil. The modern retelling I read does a wonderful job of preserving the Indian spiritual vibe of the original but it is also written in a way the modern reader will understand. The book deals very much with early developments of Well it took me like 27 hours 24 days mahabharata by ramesh menon pdf free download finish this but it was all worth it. The book deals very much with early developments of Hinduism and I found it was like entering a magical world full of heroes, monsters, gods, and war.
Every fantasy novel, every science fiction novel has been influenced by this text whether they know it or not. You are completely immersed in another world that is so fantastic, so magical it is incomprehensible it was written so long ago. I am so glad I took the time to read this, it is such an important basis for all literature. This book kind of changed me as a person. I just found it to be really spiritually inspirational and I'm sure I will keep coming back to it throughout my life.
Feb 22, Amit Tripathi rated it it was amazing. A brilliant translation of an epic story that, in my opinion, has absolutely no parallel. It has taken me more than 4 months to read this book, and its probably the most time i have ever taken, but the sheer magnitude of the story, the characters and the plot makes for very interesting reading.
The principles and the "dharma" on which the entire story is based is true to this era, and it surprises me that we are not even half as spiritual or philosophical as our ancestors were. Mahabharata is a A brilliant translation of an epic story that, in my opinion, has absolutely no parallel. Mahabharata is a saga of philosophy and there is hardly a topic in human life that is not touched in the book.
For people who love politics, almost everything that a ruler, a leader should be doing is also clearly mapped out in the end chapters of the book. It'll need patience, but the book is worth a read.

The fluid and accessible version of the Mahabharata is by an Indian journalist and novelist, and as a result, the account is like reading a novel. I find that I can't wait to get back to it. Even though it consists of mahabharata by ramesh menon pdf free download large volumes, mahabharata by ramesh menon pdf free download, it is still an abridged version, mahabharata by ramesh menon pdf free download.
The long prologue has been omitted. However, mahabharata by ramesh menon pdf free download, it's a wonderful introduction to the story of the Pandavas, Drapaudi, and Krishna.
