I don't get you. They are trying to catch the vibrations of Krishna's voice? But that is impossible, right? Mahabharata happened 5000+ years ago!

No as per science ... waves will never destroyed. Whatever we speak in our life, is always live in this world with the waves of Voice.I will soon post details of this project here.

You also know Sanskrit?👍🏼

Mahabharata could never have had 1000 verses. But I am not so expert in this field of verse tracking 😆... so you never know...

But let the upcoming serial show all the one lakh verses of the (present) Mahabharata!

Yes, according to Devi Bhagavtaham at least.

Devi Bhagavatham has details of the Satyavati- Parashara encounter. Vyasa's Mahabharata doesn't give much details...

obviously Ved Vyaasa would not want to reveal that he was born out of wedlock..and there fore he excluded his mother's earlier story with parasher in his version😉 or rather his version mentions that he was born not via sexual relations of satyavati but via the halo / abhamandal /holy rays of parashar that went into her womb ..the older version of mahabharath (BR Chopra) was primarily based on Vyaasa's mahabharat ..i think..so they have actually showed this...the rays of light falling on satyavati..

also my theory is that satyavati was also in love with shaantanu and expressed this to her father and her father maybe planted this idea in her head..that if you want my permission to marry shantanu then my only condition is you must make sure that your sons would be the next kings and not dev vrat..

I think it doesn't have versions.. Mahabharat is only of 1 version I guess 😳

then there is the Bheel version of Mahabharath recited by the adivasis..that version is full of sexual content..and even more stories attached to it..

One-more version of Ved Vyaasa's Birth:

One measure of greatness for saints in India was their involvement in the making of the most sacred Hindu scripture, the Vedas. It is said that the Vedas simply occurred in the minds of such sages as a result of their deep and long meditation. Seven among them were respected the most. One was called Vasishtha. Sages are called by various names such as Rishi and Muni and the great ones as Maharshi or Mahamuni. Vasishtha had a grandson by name Parasara who was a Vedic Rishi himself. Mahabharatam was written by the son born to Parasara by name Veda Vyasa. There is an interesting story behind his birth.

One day Parasara came to cross the river Kalindi. A beautiful maiden sat at the oars that day to take the boat across. She was the daughter of the king of fishermen. Though beautiful, she was known by the name Matsyagandhi, meaning one who smelt of fish. Indeed, she always smelt of fish. The great sage, nonetheless, was smitten by her extreme beauty. He happened to be the only passenger that time in the boat. Half way across the river the Maharshi could not restrain himself and expressed his desire for her favours.

Such a request was considered to be a great honour for a girl those days. But, Matsyagandhi was apprehensive. She had remained a maiden till that day and she feared losing that . When Parasara heard her objection, he smilingly said that he could help her to remain as she was with his powers.

Matsyagandhi could not think of a relationship with the sage in the middle of the river with many watching from both the banks. Again, that was a small matter for the Maharshi to fix. He, with his powers, made thick fog to develop all around. He also made a small island to rise beneath the boat.

With all her fears removed, the beautiful princess of the fisher folk received the great saint. As a result the maiden conceived a baby. But, such were the powers of Parasara that before the boat reached the other bank Matsyagandhi delivered a handsome boy, though dark in colour. Not only that, the boy grew instantly to a youth.

Thus, with two people on board at start the boat reached the other bank with three. There the Maharshi had to bid good bye to his wife of extreme short duration. But, before departing the only wish of Matsyagandhi, that her smell of fish should be removed, was granted and materialized. Thus, she henceforth came to be known as Gandhavathi, meaning the girl with a sweet scent.

The boy was named Dwaipayana, meaning one born on an island. He also gathered a name Krishna because of his dark complexion. Like his father he also bid good bye to his mother , but, with the consoling words : " mother, I also would like retire to the forests to start meditating like father. But, whenever you need me just think of me. I shall be there to help you".

We shall find in the story of the great epic Mahabharata that he kept his words till last.
Soon, he became a great saint on his own rights. He became so great that he decided to organize the Vedas which were passed on as one huge unmanageable text till that time into four by their content and usage. Hence, he became better known as Veda Vyasa, meaning one who divided the Vedas.
