Definition
The world's longest epic poem — the vast story of the Pandava and Kaurava cousins and the great war at Kurukshetra. Nestled at its center is the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna's teaching to Arjuna on the battlefield. For chanters, the Mahabharata is where Krishna steps into history as friend, guide, and charioteer — the same Krishna whose names fill the Maha Mantra.
