Yuganta is very interesting though it is harsh to see Krishna humanized!
Yours seems interesting too! Mahabharata is so complex but complete, there is really everything if we would be able to catch the allegories and the symbolism of this awesome epic.

It isn't always possible to put in the GR links when using the app. One of the more annoying quirks of the app (along with not always showing book covers)...

[Gemma]

Thankd, Leslie. You're right, I can't, I am on the app.

Hmm.. Yes, Jaya was an interesting book in ways - Has crisp, matter-of-fact stories covering whole of the Mahabharata. Well organized and well written, its not heavy reading. Though knew most of the stories, managed to find 1/2 stories which I had not read/heard before.
