English rendering of Mahabharata originally written in Tamil and mostly translated by Rajaji himself. Rajaji’s books on Marcus Aurelius, the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads are popular. But in Mahabharata he displays his inimitable flair for telling stories and applying their moral to the needs of modern times. To have preserved the beauty and spirit of the great original in refined and simple English is an achievement of the highest order.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR C. Rajagopalachari
Chakravarti Rajagopalachari, popularly known as Rajaji or C.R. was a close associate of Mahatma Gandhi, an ardent freedom fighter, Chief Minister of Madras, Governor of West Bengal, Home Minister of India and as the first Indian Governor General of India. The Gita is one of the greatest scriptures expounding the creed, discipline and ideals of Hinduism. And no better exponent of the ideas contained in it can be found than Rajai who was indisputably one of the greatest Indians and who has dared to live strictly according to the precepts of that manual of correct living in the face of the challenges of a rife-torn political and public life.
