In the epic Indian mythological tale, the Mahabharata, the story of the Pandavas and the Kauravas unfolds amidst intricate webs of fate, duty, and honor. Born from the same lineage, these two sets of cousins find themselves locked in a bitter struggle for power and righteousness. The Pandavas, led by the noble Yudhishthira, embody virtues of righteousness, humility, and courage. Born to Kunti through different gods, they stand as paragons of dharma, guided by Krishna's wisdom. Arjuna, skilled in archery and the epitome of valor, embodies devotion and righteousness. Bhima, known for his immense strength and appetite, symbolizes indomitable spirit and loyalty. Nakula and Sahadeva, the twins, possess exceptional wisdom and valor, completing the quintet of Pandava prowess. Contrasting them are the Kauravas, led by the ambitious and power-hungry Duryodhana. Sons of Dhritarashtra, they represent traits of jealousy, greed, and deceit. Duryodhana's envy towards the Pandavas fuels the flames of rivalry, leading to deceitful plots and treacherous schemes. Dushasana, Shakuni, and Karna, though formidable in their own right, become entangled in a web of darkness, driven by their loyalty to Duryodhana and their own desires. The rivalry between the Pandavas and the Kauravas culminates in the Kurukshetra war, a cataclysmic battle that shapes the destiny of Bharata (ancient India). It's a clash between righteousness and unrighteousness, where divine intervention and mortal valor intertwine. Despite being outnumbered, the Pandavas fight with unwavering determination, fueled by their belief in righteousness and their duty to uphold dharma. Throughout the Mahabharata, the complex relationships between the Pandavas and the Kauravas unravel, showcasing the intricacies of human nature and the consequences of one's actions. Ultimately, it's a tale of triumph of good over evil, where the Pandavas emerge victorious, not just in battle but also in upholding the values of righteousness, integrity, and compassion, leaving behind a legacy that echoes through the ages. Yudh Shastra is about recreating the characters in Mahabharata with those in the modern day life.

‘War is my creed, my anchor and my strength’ It is the thirteenth day of the Kurukshetra War. The Kauravas and the Pandavas have reached a stalemate, even though the former has the mightier army. The frustrated Kauravas finally decide to deploy a deadly strategy known as the Chakravyuh—a battle formation that is seemingly impossible to break. When Krishna and Arjuna, the only two people who know the secret to penetrating the Chakravyuh, are lured away from the battlefield, it is up to young Abhimanyu, the son of Arjuna, to save the Pandavas from certain defeat. A true Kshatriya, Abhimanyu breaks through the maze and reaches its heart, leaving his soldiers far behind and thus directing the Kaurava onslaught entirely towards himself. Full of breakneck action and high drama, this stunningly illustrated graphic novel tells the story of one of the greatest heroes from the Mahabharata, who single-handedly turned the tide of the ultimate war between dharma and adharma.

Katha Vilasam: The Story Within offers a path-breaking series of 50 articles by S. Ramakrishnan, published over the course of four years in the widely read Tamil magazine Ananda Vikatan, to a wider reading public through translation into English. The writing style is intentionally direct and compact to suit a magazine readership. Nevertheless, the prose is elevating, even lyrical at times. There are “Aha” moments aplenty. The author uses a unique device in these units. They are “stories within stories”. In each unit, he describes an incident from his own experience and relates it to a short story he has read by a particular eminent Tamil writer. He paraphrases/summarises the writer’s story, melds it into his own reminiscence, and allows the two to resonate and create a musical signature in the reader’s mind. Thus, 50 noted short story writers in the Tamil language are featured here. The avowed purpose of the author was to introduce the readers of Ananda Vikatan (who may have been readers of nothing but magazines) to also delve into the works of excellent Tamil short story writers. The series ran for four years and was very well received by readers. Each unit deserves to be read and re-read not only for the insights and information about writers in different genres, but for the word wizardry and imagery that flow effortlessly through the lines. It is hoped that this English translation will teleport these unique offerings to a wider reading public and bring the works of excellent Tamil writers into the lives of discriminating lovers of literature everywhere.

Krishna says “Every human nature and the deeds he does are different from person to person though both the bodies are made up of the same five basic elements. The three Guna’s are the reason because of which every human behaviour, his Karma & his deeds are different from one another. Out of these Guna’s first is ‘Tapas’, desire for darkness, those who do not think about pros & cons before doing their karma fall in this category. Like animals & birds fall under this category since they only seek bodily pleasures and do not think before an act........”
