Whatever it may be but his intention is pure
Very details and ecellentWe must prepare a detailed book of srikrishna and connection with all temples of south india
Dear Ganguly-saheb,
This is an excellent work by yourself! Thank you for the passion of translating the greatest Epic of the world. Translation was needed to teach the future generations with the greatest epic. They should not ideally need some XYZ story book at the bed time to learn nothing in their life. This book should be the everyday reading of every Indian kid to learn the teachings of Mahabharata by their heart!
Dear sir , can you translate bhagwat Geeta and Mahabharata in Sindhi as it is in sunsikrit
Thank you!
Thank you.
Some pages are missing / not scanned:
Adi Parva – Chapter 23 is scanned partially – ony up to 18.
Adi Parva – Chapter – 24,25,26,27,28 are missing.
Scanning quality is poor, seems carelessly done towards the end.More pages could be missing.
Please inform Google as this scanning was part of their project and they must have paid good money to someone to get this done.
I am sure they will rectify if they come to know.
Is this book in the public domain? Is it copyright free?
Yes it is.

In Telugu original translation was done by KAVI TRIYAM? Ie NANNYYA AROUND 1046, Thikkana around 1312, YERRAPRAGADA AROUND 1411. LATER ON PURIPANDA TRNSLATED INTO PROSE TELUGU Around 1912.Latest by M V Subrhamnyam.
There is one more translation in english and telugu(prose) by M V Subrahmanyam
Thank you so, so very much. I need this for research to defend Krishna and the Bhagavad-Gita. The war was a just war like with Moses and the Amalekites and Muhammad and the Quraysh. There are times when duty prevails over ahimsa, for evil must be brought to justice and not be permitted to roam free causing death and destruction.
No pictures? Will I be able to find all these characters on google?
Thank you so much for your time and efforts, for which Mr Ganguly has devoted to fulfill “One Of The Best” translations ever to be published in English. for all audiences and students who are involved in deep studies of this beautiful History which not only provides Knowledge of the past but insures to instill Wisdom within the reader as well. India is my Country and I Am Proud to be called an Indian Who serves for the poor and defends us from Evil. Lotsssssss of Lv God Bless your Spul

Dear Sir,
I heartily thank you for providing the complete version of Mahabharata that too free download.
I am indebted to the author for such an exemplary work in the service of the people.
Thanks to one and all.
Sridharan you are correct
Many translators from Sanskrit have not been Done properly.
The pdf files are blank cannot see any text
Both translations by Kisari Mohan Ganguli and Pratap Chandra Roy looks similar. eg, BOOK 2, section 4. Word by word same. Can anyone say based on which original Sanskrit text these translations were made. The Sanskrit texts available on the net seems to be different in meaning. For example in the above mentioned chapter it was said Yudhistir fed the Brahmins with Pork and Vension. But in the Sanskrit texts its only Ghee-Payas, Fruits and roots.
I have no words to thank the author.
But Thank you for PDF version! :)

Thank you is a small word . I surrender
