MAYABHARATA

 The Great War at Kurukshetra is over.Eighteen lakh men have died. But the winners are not happy. Yudhishthira andhis brothers are gripped with sorrow over what they have done. Who will bearthe child to continue the Kuru clan? Uttara? Will Asvatthama also destroy thechild that she is carrying?

Hastinapuris barren of men of any age. It is the King's dharma to help every virgin inthe kingdom, cross into womanhood. But Yudhishthira fails. There is now adharmic crisis. The young woman, who will bear the child, must be found anotherking for the task before sunrise. Else, the kingdom will suffer even more.

Whocan solve the problem?

Krishna,who else! Or rather he knows such a king who can. It is Maya.

But Maya declines to follow the king'sdharma. His refusal plunges the Kuru kingdom, and even Krishna himself, intoanother crisis.

Whois Maya? Can Krishna eventually win him over?

Mayabharata is a fascinating narration of the post-Mahabharata story, aided bythe deployment of the author's imaginative and creative powers.
