“Probably the bets book I have ever read about the Mahabharata. Each essay is beautifully reasoned and constructed. I don't agree with everything in each essay, but each one is thought provoking.”

“A very unique commentary on the Mahabharata. It speaks of the PEOPLE, SOCIETY and the lifestyle during the age of the Mahabharata. Since, it is the end of an era just before the Kalayuga, its aptly titled Yuganta. As I read through the book, I started to realize, true or not, it did seem to be like the end of an age. The society than was so dissimilar to ours and yet so similar. However, the Kalayuga brought in blind beliefs that are so not original, that are so not ours. It reflects the true COMING OF THE ARYANS and their society before the onset of the CASTE SYSTEM. The varna system did exist, but it was more flexibile and free of corruptions found today.”

“Irawati Karve tries to extract the essential story from the Mahabharata and identify what may been later additions to the original story. She tries to interpret what the meaning of certain things in the Mahabharata may have been. This is a highly recommended book, that gives you more than what has been shoved down your throats by the traditional religious order. ”
