## Mahabharata
When I wanted to listen to the Mahabharata I simply went into my podcast client *Antenna Pod on Android* and searched for `Mahabharata`
I then got a hit to which I subscribed immediately. I didn't even need to go to the website that I linked below, my clients simply fetch the ***RSS feed*** which I shall also include in the sources
I shall dwell only **briefly** up on the content of the Mahabharata here. Instead of a full story, I shall point you to Wikipedia feeds regarding this beautiful ***Epic***
## The Mahabharata is so vast that the physical books cover the *entire length* of a living room!
**Artie** has also talked about the Mahabharata, in her podcast. She has studied the subject at the *University of Canada* and she has been studying at the time of her recording, the Mahabharata for 25 years.
Artie drew the same conclusion as I have
**You will never be able to remember everything about the Mahabharata just what is important to you, in your life...**
I have screenshots of my podcast reader ready but chose not to include them, because it doesn't matter what you use in order to listen to the ***Stories of the Mahabharata***. What does matter is that if you're interest is sparked, you can listen to it, but most important you should actually **read *the Mahabharata***.
I don't need to tell you that reading something yourself, is more powerful than listening to an audiobook or a podcast
*I'm certain you've also read Stephen King's Christine, just like me, in just a couple of hours and have experienced how reading a great book forms in your mind. I'm also certain that you know The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge by heart❤️ just like I do.*
Naturally I'm kidding; those are my experiences though and they have formed incredible synapse connections within my brain system and my Atma
You don't need to read the Stories of the Mahabharata in Sanskrit, it is probably translated in whatever language you speak natively.
I enjoy listening to the podcast as a supplement to the actual books. I am a multilingual individual and thus can enjoy this Epic and multiple languages.
The statistics of the Mahabharata are astonishing
* 100,000 I repeat 100,000 Shlokas
* Stories within Stories **Bhagvad Gita** e.g
* ***16 million and Mahabharata***
* **16 million snakes** fall from the sky in the beginning
* **16 million people die** in the **massive war** that erupts at the climax of the Epic
* These statistics are iterated and reiterated by **Artie** in her podcast
* Arti approaches the Mahabharata from a point of view of **science and literature** not as Holy Scripture
## spawn
When the Mahabharata begins, snakes fall out of the sky. Snakes, many of them. If you want to hear that level of beginning you should listen to the podcast of Artie
The Stories of Mahabharata by Shudipta Bhoumic, is a treasure to listen to, even while you are riding in traffic. He has the incanny ability to talk about the Mahabharata in a very comfortable form and manner, only a scholar on the subject can do
Note;
The **Bhagavad Gita** is an **excerpt** of the Mahabharata
* The Gita is short
* teaches you about Dharma
* while the War is coming close
* you learn how to life as a warrior and a Dharmic Atma
* is a Epic within an Epic
* **People have learned the Bhagvad Gita by heart** (it;s short irt the Mahabharata)
For the rest I advise you, to go on your own Mahabharata Discovery Mission. I've given you some of the tools that I use
## Have fun!
