Mahabharata can't be constrained to a particular religion. It's mine, it's yours, it's everybody's. Those who attempt to constrain Mahabharata or Bhagavad Gita are fools who haven't yet realized the futility of their mentality. They don't seem to understand Gita at all.


Thank you very much, Shruti...!!!! Extremely happy to be in between people who are not like the ones who just read and forget what they learnt in Mahabharat and especially Geeta. And yes I agree with you - "Mahabharata can't be constrained to a particular religion. It's mine, it's yours, it's everybody's. "

And after all, Yannehasti, Na tat kvachit.
What is not here is no where else.

Hi Angela. Really a great post dear 👏👏👏 Mahabharat isn't mine or yours though it belongs to Hinduism anyone could read it 😳😳😳 No one can hold ownership of it. As a Christian you are following Mahabharat a big salute for it. .. According to me all religions are the same & they same the same thing but in different ways ... 😛😛😛 When you are going to do a Dharma or follow any good things the religion isn't a full stop for it ... Religions are only made to guide you. Anyone could read anything . Including me & many of our friends being Hindus we read Bible too...😛😛😛 Who ever knows Mahabharat & Geeta Gyan well always say others also to read anyone of any religion can read it...😛😛😛 The Viswaroop of Lord Krishna even said that he's everything & he's nothing , so why then a 2nd option ?😆😆😆 Continue watching & learn more & get the use of it as possible 😛😛😛

I believe basic teachings in all religions are same. Of course mahabharat is not only for Hindus .Its for all to take something from it.

No , there is not need to salute dear. I follow Mahabharat because I feel that it is really a divine story and top of all because I love it. Thank you very much .

Nice Topic...
Well as the other forumees said , it belongs to every religion.😊
It contains all the principles by which a man achieve the oversoul. And every religion conveys the same meaning in a slightly different way. So,the foolish people who say so must know the things described in Mahabharata before saying anything against it. It happened much ago before the socio-constructed religions popped out and so no one can deprive any person from reading it. Also,it is mentioned in the first chapter Of Mahabharata, " what is found here may be found elsewhere but what is not found here cannot be found elsewhere" . Ask them,if there is something which is not there in Mahabharata and if they can,then they would gain full right to say anything against it.

And the Hindus whom you mentioned, looks like they have not gained even laconic knowledge of the Geeta's principles and the precious decorum written in it beautifully.


P.S.: I hope I'm not being arrogant and over-crossing my limits.

No, you are not at all being arrogant and over-crossing your limits. In fact I must say well-said.👏
Well I agree with you because the people on other sites when they came to know that I am a Christian, I still remember their exact replies they replied me harshly saying - "You are a Christian! What do you know about Hindus? We are well versed with our religion you need not guide us! We know very well what Geeta teaches us and how to implement it in our lives. With this we inform you that your account will be locked now."

That is their mis-conception in terms of their so called well-verse and teachings. How to implement in our lives? 🤣 If they would really know it , then they might not say such harsh words to anyone because the first Geeta Principle is 'Compassion' itself.

Anyway,Welcome to IF Mahabharat Discussion Zone. Here you can take part in every discussion going around without any disturbance or such sarcasm.

No, dude. I was born in a hindu family, they all worship different deities. I do not practice Hinduism, though I am a spiritual person. No one stops me (or can stop me) from reading bible, which i have( i read the bible for children when i was a kid in a day and night) or Quran or Jatakas or any buddhist scriptures. My Father never stopped himself from learning from different religious scriptures, and he always encourages me too.Finding he vast similarities and some of the differences in the philosophies is enlightening.
All these scriptures were not made for specific group of people. Krishna did not impart his knowledge so that only one man made religion could claim it as their own. Christ did not impart his own knowledge so people could start a religion out of it and claim his teachings as their own. Religions are limited in that fashion, but philosophies of great people are not limited to one religion only.
ISKCON, hare krishnas in different part of the world, in France, Italy and all over the Europe -- You find that people following the teachings of BG are of different religions -- Christians, Jews -- even people of Wicca religion who are taken with their philosophy of not submitting to Krishna -- A Hindu Deity, but Krishna -- A Universal God!
Being spiritual is enough -- or you could be an atheist or a New Age Spiritualist for all it matters -- But being religious, or belonging to a particular religion does not matter. If someone tells you so, you can ask them to shove it, really! You have all the right to gain knowledge and understanding from everywhere possible, don't let anyone stop you!
