Understand the Contrasts in Human Mind Through Mahabharata

Swamiji speaks on Mahabharata, mainly on the characterization of a few individuals to bring forth an understanding of the human mind and personality.

Our body is a biological aggregate which we look after by food, nourishment and exercise. Our inner personality comprising of the mind and intelligence undergoes all the changes, improvements, enrichments. This inner personality defines our character, behavior and interactions.

Mahabharata discusses the nature of this inner personality, its potential, possibilities, and gives us the history of our predecessors. Swamiji speaks at length about the human mind, its emotions, it’s excellences and being victimized by itself, sharing the story of how the 8th child of Shantanu and Ganga, Bhishma, came to be.

Swamiji marvels at the pen of VedaVyasa which presents many contrasts in the Mahabharata.
