Many parts of the Mahabharata contain profound teachings relevant to students of Advaita Vedanta, in addition to the Bhagavad Gita. Swami Tadatmananda painstakingly selected 70 important sections containing almost 2000 verses for this series. His classes will be posted weekly and available on this playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeP4eulMEXiPhZWPZUCldJ33o2hcQigdD
Swami Tadatmananda originally taught these classes at his ashram starting in 2015, when only audio was recorded for each class, not video. Later, a group of dedicated and skillful volunteers produced videos for these classes that shows the Sanskrit text, Roman transliteration, and Swamiji's line-by-line English translation. The following volunteers deserve many thanks for their hard work to produce 200 videos:
Arpan - Project Coordinator
Eric, Sanjiv & Jhanvi, Vishaka, Suryakant, Ranga, Mangesh, Dilip, Jagdeep, Daniel, Gayatri, Shreyas, Krishna, Jaymi, Shobha, Chittaranjan, Aparna, Divya and Sanchita
Note: The verses used here are from the Critical Edition of the Mahabharata, which was compiled in over a span of 50 years by a group of scholars in Pune who reviewed more than 1,200 manuscripts. It was published in 1971 and comprises over 89,000 verses.
Swami Tadatmananda is a traditionally-trained teacher of Advaita Vedanta, meditation, and Sanskrit. For more information, please see: arshabodha.org
