Yes, it is a great book written by Mr Kuttikrishna Marar (Malayalam Writer) from kerala.
Recently i met an old friend while my evening walk, at that time i was hearing an audio book The Monk who sold his Ferrari written by Mr Robin Sharma. I have moved the earphone and started discussion with my friend, he was telling like the audio book concept is a waste of time and you will never get the feeling of reading a book, i was not agreeing with him, after all if we are able to sync with the reader this is the best way to understand the whole story with expressions. That is a different talk and we will come to it in another blog.
He have suggested Bharatha paryadananm and asked me to go through and understand the inner meaning by comparing the current scenarios. I have got impressed with his comments and started reading the book.
Bharatha Paryadanam is a detail analysis of Mahabharatham written by Vedavyasa. My Kuttikrishna Marar was a pandit in Samskrit so he explains/interpret the Mahabharatham in his own ways. More than telling the story he is interested in tell us who is right and who is wrong. Everyone knows that Pandavas are the heroes and Kaurava's are the Villains. Is that right, I always want to analyse it, this is what the writer done in Bharatha Paryadanam.
As per Vedavyasa, Udhistiran is the ideal person or king as a whole, is that right, if so why he have betted his kingdom and all his assets including his brothers and wife in Choothu (the game happened in ancient days). Why he was silent when Draupadi was molested by kauravas, why he told lie to Dronar which lead to his killing. There are so many other incidents which will give you a brief idea about the partiality that happened in Mahabharatha. It is not the fault of Vedavyasa but interpreters have done their role in portraying the story by boosting someone to feel that what Padavasa done was right.
It doesn't mean that Kaurava's especially Duryodhana was right, but everything that happened in between are the result of situations. He was a loyal king, good son, strong warrior, Lord Balaramas favorite shishya, loved brother and a die hard friend everyone wants to have. He never feared anything and fought till the end. You know what happened to Duryodhana Later. After few years Pandavas decided to go for vanaprastham, they have fell one by one in the path and finally only Udhistira and his dog was left. Later Indra came with his chariot to take him to heaven. When Udhishtira reached heaven he saw that Duryodhana was sitting in a golden chair, he was glowing like anything and felt as a god.
Excited right, go through the book right away and have the whole fun of it, he have discussed about Bhishmar, Lord Krishna, Lord Balarama, Aswathathma and so on. You will get a different view of incident which happened in Mahabharatha. May be you have gone through Randamoozham, it is a brilliant book written by Sir MT Vasudevan. He got inspired by Bharatha Paryadanam and taken reference from it. I like the book and completed it in a day. A definite read, and my suggestion is to convert the same to English so more history lovers can be benefited.
