The Mahabharata, in Kisari Mohan Ganguli's monumental translation, is the world's longest epic poem and one of humanity's greatest spiritual and literary achievements, containing within it the Bhagavad Gita, the Vishnu Sahasranama, and a vast treasury of philosophical and moral teaching. The epic tells the story of the Kurukshetra War between the Pandavas and Kauravas, but its deeper purpose is to illuminate every dimension of dharma — duty, righteousness, and the human condition in relation to the divine. This is an inexhaustible wellspring of wisdom and narrative that has sustained Indian civilization for millennia.

One attains Perfect Knowledge when one sees God in man.
We can attain peace of mind only by following what Gurbani teaches.
God told Prophet David, 'The servant dearest to Me is one who doesn't seek Me out of fear or hope for reward, but to fulfill their duty to My divinity.'
Love is the fulfilling of all commands; therefore however much man strives to reach this freedom, the body can never quite attain thereto, and must be ever in conflict.
