Where do we go next?

I've left this blog unattended for quite a while; what with starting a new book, travelling to England, bringing back my daughter and her boyfriend to visit me in Germany and driving them around the countryside, my schedule has been full!
But I'm back and have plans for it.
I think I've done enough to introduce the Mahabharata in general terms to those unacqainted with it, and to hopefully extend the understanding of those who already know and love it. If you're in the latter group and have not yet watched the Myths of Mankind series in the first few posts, I do encourage you to do so; interwoven with scenes from Peter Brooks' wonderful movie Mahabharata, those videos can only increase your love and reverence for the epic.
I'd like now to turn more to content; to discussions of some of the main themes arising in the story. Here are some of the posts I see coming up:
-- Caste: what does the Mahabharata say about it?
-- Mahabharata Women
-- Should Christians shun the Mahabharata?
-- Themes from the Bhagavad Gita: the three Gunas, right action, meditation.
-- What is Religion?
-- Science and Hinduism
-- Advaita: non-duality
That's a pretty good beginning...
In the meantime, another interview has been posted online on the literary site AuthorScoop.
