The Mahabharata is an enormous Sanskrit epic of ancient India. It tells of a great war between two sides of a family, and of how the various participants in the war struggle to follow dharma—that is, roughly, how to do what they are meant to do in life. Suzanne and Chris focus on two sections in particular: Book 1, which tells of origins and complicated genealogy of the Bharatas, and Book 6, which includes the Bhagavad Gita, a prolonged conversation that takes place on the precipice of battle. Although they are only able to scratch the surface on this remarkable collection of tales, they are enthusiastic about what they’ve discovered so far.
