Q & A to enlighten you
Its just the 4th day of my Christmas vacation. I am feeling so bored to be here. I had gone to my aunts house yesterday night to get some books. I went in search of technical books but then i ended up in two books “Mahabharata” and “Ramayana”. I had heard the stories of both Mahabharata and Ramayana but not read them before. This version of these great epics were really small books of around 250 pages each. So I thought i will read them in my vacation. I started reading Mahabharata and i found this extract so intersting, so i am posting this.
These are answers by Yudhishthira in the “Vana Parva” of the great epic “Mahabharata”.
