Mahabharat [The Complete TV Series On 16 DVDs] DVD

MAHABHARAT, India's Greatest Epic is a story based on an ancient Sanskrit verse of sibling rivalry interwoven with Hinduism and the mythological history of India. The most cherished of all Indian classics, this 94 episode series of over 70 hours shown on the BBC for two years contains complex sub-stories of philosophy, divinity, adventure, bravery and betrayal.

This complete story is brought graphically, vividly and spectacularly to DVD by B.R. Chopra and Ravi Chopra, India's most eminent film makers.

It recounts the story of five heroic brothers, the Pandavas, who were destined to rule a vast kingdom. Robbed of their kingdom and exiled by their envious cousins, they encounter many hardships, culminating in an apocalyptic war. During their extraordinary adventures and spiritual journeys, we are introduced to sages, warrior kings, heroines and a host of celestial beings.

Among them is Krishna, a divine incarnation and the pivotal character of MAHABHARAT. Because of Krishna's presence the MAHABHARAT is revered as a sacred text. It contains the Bhagavad-Gita, a masterpiece of spiritual wisdom, and one of the world's most significant treatises on karma, reincarnation and yoga.
