Product Description
Have you ever wondered about the silences of the Mahabharata?
Not the same old tired retellings of a single incident from a different point of view, but the actual silences. What must Bhishma's childhood have been like in Heaven, in the arms of his mother Ganga? What was Satyavati's inner life like, before Shantanu came to her and offered her his hand?
So many unsung characters in Vyasa's great epic: Amba, Kunti, Gandhari... so many untold tales; so many untouched meadows.
In the Hastinapur books, you will find yourself lost in the stories that Vyasa left unexplored. Join Ganga as she wrestles with her ambition of being a great river Goddess while being mother to young Bhishma; Satyavati as she wonders why she has been placed in Fate's path; Kunti as she wakes one morning on a sun-kissed bed that changes her life; Gandhari as she yearns to steer her kingdom to glory...
And Amba. Amba the scorned princess of Kosala who, after being wronged by Bhishma, has to find herself deep in the woods of Naimisha.
All these women - every single one of them - are Destiny's daughters. Their choices, their struggles, and their deepest wishes shape the path of history. And it leads all the way to Kurukshetra, where the battle to end all battles will be fought. Far, far into the future.
And lurking in the background, pulling strings that are invisible to mere mortals, are the people of Meru. Guarding the Crystal Lake. Driven by desires of their own.
Come - I assure you: you've never seen the Mahabharata like this.

The silences of the Mahabharata wish to open themselves up to you. Won't you give them a chance?

"The Rise of Hastinapur" stands out for me in this bundle, particularly in its portrayal of Gandhari's journey from deception to self-discovery, revealing layers of strength in a character often reduced to a vengeful stereotype. Interesting to see how modern financial jugglery has made it into a Vedic India story! Though I'd heard of Sharath Komarraju before and seen his books in bookstores, I'd never tried his work. As someone deeply fascinated by the Mahabharata, I found "The Hastinapur Bundle" to be a revelation.
As someone who enjoys the Mahabharata, I found "The Hastinapur Bundle" offers an alternative perspective by centering on the women whose actions influenced the epic's events. "The Winds of Hastinapur" stands out in how it portrays Satyavati's calculated path to the throne and Ganga's relationship with Shantanu. I'd never heard of Sharath Komarraju before, but the plot descriptions seemed interesting. Some of the distortions and takes seemed too influence by Western fantasy myths, but overall a good reading experience.
As someone who has devoured every book on the Mahabharata, I was absolutely blown away by "The Hastinapur Bundle" and its focus on the overlooked women. Though I'd heard of Sharath Komarraju before and seen his books in stores, I'd never tried his work until now. The way he portrays these six women not as passive side characters but as important political players... highly recommended!
As someone who has devoured every Amish Tripathi novel, I approached "The Hastinapur Bundle" with high expectations. Sharath has exceeded them all! These books are immersive and beautifully written, transporting you so completely that you might find yourself speaking in archaic phrases to confused family members for days afterward. The printable PDF option was a wonderful bonus, allowing me to create a copy for my technophobic grandmother. I was already familiar with Sharath's "Birbal Books" and enjoyed his clever plotting. His compelling writing makes even complex court intrigue utterly fascinating. Excellent value for money!
For readers who enjoy the Mahabharata, "The Hastinapur Bundle" offers a fresh and compelling perspective through the eyes of six remarkable women whose stories are often overshadowed in traditional tellings of the epic. "The Rise of Hastinapur" quickly became my favorite of the trilogy, particularly in how it portrays Amba's journey from deception to self-discovery, revealing layers of strength and determination in a character often reduced to a vengeful stereotype. You can read these books on any device, on any app, which was incredibly convenient as I switched between reading on my phone during commutes and on my tablet at home. Although I'd heard of Sharath Komarraju before and seen his books in bookstores, I'd never tried his work until this bundle's attractive price point convinced me to take the plunge. His soothing writing style creates an almost meditative reading experience even as the plots move forward with purpose and tension, making these books perfect for both careful study and relaxed enjoyment. Impressed with the author and already looking forward to exploring more of his work!
