What is Mahabharata?

Mahabharata is an epic compiled 5,000 years ago by Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa (Vedavyasa, Vyasadeva), describing the history of "greater India". Nowadays only India is called Bharata-varsha, but formerly the whole planet was known as Bharata-varsha, so the history of events on the whole planet, as well as events that have taken place on other planets throughout the universe is included in the Mahabharata.

The main story line in Mahabharata evolves around the lives of the five Pandava brothers and their evil-minded cousins, leading to a fratricidal war.

The most important part of the Mahabharata is the Bhagavad-gita, spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna to His friend and disciple Arjuna. page here.
