      Wisdom Of Mahatma Vidur - Munindra Misra

      INTRODUCTION

      The Mahabharat depicts sibling rivalry, diplomatic manoeuvrings and shifting of human values. It climaxes in a direct confrontation on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, between five sons of King Pandu (Pandavs) and hundred sons of King Dhritarastra (Kauravas). It is a tale of war between brothers – between sons and fathers; students and teachers.

      It marks the end of Dvapar Yuga (an era of morals, values and principles) and the commencement of Kal Yuga (an era of selfishness, deceit and immorality).

      The Mahabharat is divided into eighteen books or chapters (called Parvas):

      01. Adi Parva

      02. Sabha Parva

      03. Aranyak or Van Parva

      04. Virat Parva

      05. Udyog Parva

      06. Bhishma Parva

      07. Drona Parva

      08.Karna Parva

      09. Shalya Parva

      10. Sauptika Parva

      11. Stri Parva

      12. Shanti Parva

      13. Anushashan Parva

      14. Ashwamegha Parva

      15. Ashramvasik Parva

      16. Musala Parva

      17. Mahaprasthanika Parva

      18. Swargarohan Parva
