The battlefield was the place of its
origination ; and serious problems concerning life and death, duty
and devotion, knowledge and meditation were discussed, and sensible
solutions offered which hold good even to this day. Manliness and
selfless devotion to duty are the keynotes of this great little
scripture.
Any list of the Hindu scriptures is
in complete without the two great epics, the Ramayana and the
Mahabharata. Though these two great books deal primarily with the
story of Sri Rama and that of the Kuru race respectively, they can
more rightly be called the encyclopedia of Hindu religion and
culture. |
