    Mahabharata Episode 1: Beginnings
    Apr 20 2014

    Ganga, Devabrata and Shantanu

    The first episode of the Stories of Mahabharata podcast series has been missing for a long time. The episode was not added because it did not have the production quality that we have been striving for. After a long break, we finally found some time to rerecord this episode and mix the vocal track with sound effects and music to make it at par with the rest of the episodes. We hope you like it.

    This episode tells the story of the beginnings of the great saga told by Rishi Vyasa and written by lord Ganesha. The story begins with the narrative of King Shantanu's marriage with Ganga and the birth of Devabrata. Later we learn how prince Devabrata becomes the great Bhishma because of his “Bhisham” or profound vow – a vow which kickstarts the story of the Mahabharata and the destiny of the Kuru dynasty.

Congratulations team Mahabharata 👏

I am loving the Mahabharata audiobook. I like the expression of the narrator very much. I can connect these stories with the Tv show of doordarshan mahabharata and all the characters come live before my eyes. It's really wonderful to recall each character of these stories. A big round of applause to the perfect music and all the effects played in between the episodes. Congratulations to the whole team for producing this audiobook which will surely benefit the young generation equally. Kudos to all of you👏👏👏

I love it. please put more episodes.

I think the story of Mahabharata doesn't end at Abhimanyu's death. Please put some more episodes regarding what happened after Abhimanyu's death, till the 'Sarpayaga' (snake killing ceremony) conducted by Janamejaya, Abhimanyu's grandson.

You know how to grab a reader’s attention.”

Hats off to the narrator and sound editor. You two are truly amazing. Actually 'amazing' is too small word for your hard work. I must say that I am the biggest fan of your Mahabharata stories. Not a day goes by without hearing your stories. I feel like Mahabharata is unfolding in front of me while listening to the story.

The only problem is that I am not seeing the episodes after chapter 68, (Fall of Dron) so please do something about it.
