MBH Kathaa Index
Mahaabhaarat,
the epic, is divided in 18 Parv (chapters), but here for the ease of reading and
remembering it conveniently, it has been divided into eight sections. Some parts
are written as shown in MBH TV serial and from Subramanyam's book, while others
are based on the Mahaabhaarat translated by Kisari Mohan Ganguli. This happened
because after writing a couple of parts from other sources, it seemed to me that
those sources were not tallying with the KMG's translation. So I started those
parts also based on KMG's translation. Readers can read both parts wherever they
are provided and find out the difference between the original translation and
other sources.

Krishn's Childhood
Krishn is the center of the whole book, He is the Super Hero of the whole Mahaabhaarat, but
where is the place for His childhood events in this story? So I have described His childhood
events in a separate section under the section "
Childhood - Krishn", because otherwise there is no relationship between the childhood
events of Krishn and Kaurav and Paandav princes.
Geetaa
Geetaa itself is a great book, so it is given separately along with some auxiliary material
