Everything you love about this timeless scripture—and more.

The Hidden Story of the Mahabharata reveals a treasure trove of practical spiritual wisdom that most people miss. Woven subtly into this compelling tale of dharma, righteous action is a profound inner teaching. Paramhansa Yogananda’s insights bring it to life, pointing the way to true happiness and inner freedom. Nayaswami Gyandev’s riveting storytelling takes you deep into this beloved saga, from its celestial origin to its surprising ending.

Occasional explanations from Yogananda never break the story’s magical spell. Instead, they make it highly personal by addressing such down-to-earth topics as:

  • What our ultimate victory really depends on
  • How to know whether an action will lead to true happiness
  • Essential qualities to develop for growth
  • How to avoid the countless traps of desire and attachment
  • Navigating the subtleties of right and wrong action
  • The crucial role of will power and how to increase it
  • Countering the ego’s clever ways of holding us back
  • Why and how we must overcome even good habits
  • How personal effort fits with divine grace
Format: Paperback

Best rendition I've read

I love the Mahabharata but each version has left me wanting something... and this version is it! Nayaswami Gyandev has beautifully woven the thrilling story together with the sacred inner meanings of the characters and plots. It is a masterpiece!

Insightful and Adventurous

This book is bringing the epic adventures of the Mahabharata to life in a real, tangible personal way.
The guidance in the pages is clearly inspired by Guru Yogananda and I love the way it feels like I am in the classroom at Ananda Village listening to the Author speak one of his amazing classes.
This book is a blessing, and I highly recommend it!!

The Hidden Story of the Mahbharata

All the favorite stories from the original epic, told in flowing, readable form, and with the spiritual qualities of the characters told WITHIN the stories. This allows for personal inner reflection by the reader without paging back to a "lineup" of the main players and their qualities. I am loving this book.
