Adrsya: The Hidden Marvels of the Mahabharata revives the tales of many lesser-known characters of the Mahabharata: Ambalika, Barbareek, Bhanumati, Duhshala, Janaka & Sulabha, Madri, Malayadwaja, Pandu, Saraswati Nadee, Shakuni, Shalya, Subhadra, and Vikarna. Come hear their voices once more. See how we have colored in the faded outlines and brought their tapestries to life. Each character’s journey in its own way expounds on the themes of Dharma that are integral to the Mahabharata.
Readers will discover in this treasure trove of stories ideas and inspirations to spur them to delve more deeply into the mysteries and marvels of the Mahabharata with each story radiating deep empathy and a quest for understanding the layers of truth and hidden meaning that we find in the Mahabharata, its timeliness and essential messages, relevant now more than ever.
With the decline in familiarity with the authentic Itihaasa and Purana, many of these characters have faded from our collective memory and consciousness. But they remain these unique and unforgettable personalities, larger than life and yet also intimately relatable, guardians to the secrets of the Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. It is time to discover their voices and stories once again.
