Essence of the Fifth Veda

Ramayana and Mahabharata, collectively with the Purana-s are called the fifth Veda, as they extend the message of the 4 Veda-s.

The book ‘Essence of the Fifth Veda’ adds relevant but lesser-known Puranic stories to the basic narration of Ramayana and Mahabharata.

This book traces over 265 epic-related geographical locations that are identifiable even today. God Krishna’s miracles from Bhagavata Purana (book 10) are recounted. Mahabharata as a World War is vividly described with tribes like the Turkic-Greeks and Chinese siding with the Kaurava-s.

The book also explains in simple language, the way to blissful living as beautifully recited in Bhagavad Geeta.
