Sharath Komarraju's Mahabharata Reader Bundle has unveiled dimensions of this epic I never knew existed, particularly through his contemplative treatment of the often under-explored Vidura Neeti sections, which stand as the most insightful chapters. Very comprehensive with 3000+ pages. It took me almost 6 months to read these entirely with the care they deserve. Vidura's timeless wisdom on statecraft and ethics is unmatched.

I approached Sharath Komarraju's Mahabharata Reader Bundle with skepticism, wary of yet another writer attempting to monetize this sacred epic. But this is so different to all the other stuff out there. Detailed, empathetic and charming - in all the different angles he covers. I came away with insights after every reading session. Kudos!

I prefer this Reader Bundle because here we get to read the Vyasa Bharata with annotations and discussions rather than just character analyses, providing a more complete sacred journey. The original shlokas at the beginning of each chapter sets the tone and takes us into the world. Highly recommended!

What particularly amazed me in this set was the Virata Parva - Sharath's telling is especially vibrant and full of drama. The description of Arjuna's fight at the Gograhana was just so thrilling! And the shlokas that accompany this section are so musical. I looked up the original verses and I've been trying to learn them off by heart! These 32 books are second to none for anyone seeking genuine understanding of the Mahabharata. You simply cannot go wrong with them.

If you've ever wanted to explore the Mahabharata but felt intimidated by its scope or language barriers, Sharath Komarraju's Reader Bundle offers the most thorough and accessible pathway. I particularly appreciated his treatment of the Ashvamedhika Parva and Bhishma Parva. Though I typically prefer physical books for serious study, the printable PDF option has provided the perfect solution for flexibility. Best in the market!
