Stories of the Great Bharata - A Retelling
नारायणं नमस्कृत्य नरं चैव नरोत्तमम् |
देवीं सरस्वतीं चैव ततो जयमुदीरयेत् ||
Having bowed down to Nārāyaṇa, and also to Nara—the supreme among men—
And to the goddess Sarasvatī, let one then utter the word "Jaya" (Victory / the epic story).
This is a retelling of the greatest epic poem to date.
This retelling of the epic tale aims to preserve the spirit and story while weaving them with new words.
This is my first writing project, and I would like your support and feedback.
I am trying to publish at least 5 chapters a week, but I will also try to exceed this goal.
