195. Mahabharata: The Epic and the Nation

from BIC TALKS · host Bangalore International Centre

The Ramayana and the Mahabharata have exerted immense influence on the life and thought of Indians. If the Ramayana is a 'unitary' saga, the Mahabahrata is a 'federal epic'. Its impact has remained as deep now as it was two thousand years. Who actually composed it? Why did the epic allow people to weave in it? This episode of BIC Talks is an extract from the second of a series of four masterclass lectures by Prof. G N Devy, titled Memory, Culture and The Being of India that took place in the BIC premises in early February 2022.

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
