- Good morning everyone,
Today we explore Volume 7 of the BORI Critical Edition of the Mahabharata. Days 16, 17 and 18 have been an emotional roller coaster. We are left wondering whether the Pandavas truly deserve to win the kingdom or not; and if they really are any different from their Kourava cousins.
This volume showcased brotherhood and its myriad facets in gut wrenching ways. It reveals how Duryodhana may have been the real winner at the end of it all - and why he may be more respectable than the Pandavas.
There are also plenty of stories from ancient times - of characters many of us may have never even heard about. So, get comfortable, sit back and let’s explore Volume 7, together.

According to bori, who was the most powerful warrior in Mahabharata?
What do you think, Who was the most powerful warrior in kurukshetra war?
Interesting question. I would equate “power” with multiple meanings. First off, we have the ability to fight & kill many warriors - in which case Bhima and Arjuna both are powerful. In terms of power derived from being great military strategists - Drona wrecks the worst havoc, out of anyone in the war. In terms of power derived from the knowledge of mantras and divine weapons (plus having no reservations about using divine weapons) - Ashwatthama is really powerful.
Ur reviews are best
@@aa_572 Thank you so much for those kind words! ☺️
As usual good in-depth review of Mahabharata volume 7 , will be looking forward for the coming volumes, my guess is most of the people knows upto Mahabharata war briefly, what happen afterwards war, many of them are clueless including me, I am really curious about to learn/listen what happened after the war, so all the best for the upcoming volumes, thanks for the efforts and being consistent, happy ganesh chathurdi wishes.
@@SriRam-ic2vg thank you so much! ☺️ Yes, you’re right - i was looking through the contents of Vol.8 and there is so much in there that we never hear about. I actually feel nervous about the last three books, because it seems to be very heavy on philosophy. But I am also excited. I hope I can finish Vol.8 by the end of the year. ☺️
Can you link to the books you’re reading?

who is ur fav. character ? just curious
That’s such an interesting question. So, I actually really like Duryodhana. I think he is a very complex character who the popular retellings of the epic, don’t do justice to. They typecast him as an evil man, but infact, there are many ways in which he is better than the Pandavas.
Similarly, I find Yudhishthira also very interesting - not because he is a follower of dharma - rather because he knows how to twist and turn dharma to suit his needs (and sometimes he does things which we would consider wrong or immoral, by giving it a “moral” spin).
Krishna as shown in the epic itself is also very interesting, because he is not at all like how the religious/divine image of him is portrayed. He is a man with complex motivations, who bends or breaks conventions according to the need of the hour. He is an astute strategist who knows how to navigate complex relationships and he openly admits that he does bend or break dharma to achieve his goals sometimes.
I think all three characters are extremely interesting and compelling. Unfortunately, popular narratives of the epic have stripped all three of them of their nuance, depth and complexity.
Which character is your favourite in the Mahabharata? ☺️
@@Talesandtexts thankyou for such detailed answer. I think you are the only one whose fav. character is yudhishthir haha because maximum people have watched TV serials and in TV serials the character of yudhishthir has not been portrayed as well as it has been portrayed in books. even tho i agree what you said about him. my favourite character is krishna Because I started Mahabharata for him and his character didnt disappoint me and yes the krishna of mahabharat is very different.he is not like what religious people say. Because the people who worship Krishna is the Krishna of bhagwat puran. There is a world of difference between Krishna of Mahabharata and Krishna of Bhagwat. in mahabharat he is a master of finesse,diplomat,strategist but in bhagwat he is a misheivious cowherd boy who likes to dance,singing,flute,butter etc. and please must read the krishna the man and his philosophy book by osho.I don't think anyone else has described the character of Krishna as beautifully as Osho has in this book.
@@strife49thank you for the book recommendation. I will check it out.
