Synopsis English rendering of Mahabharata originally written in Tamil and mostly translated by Rajaji himself.  Rajaji's books on Marcus Aurelius, the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads are popular. But in Mahabharata he displays his inimitable flair for telling stories and applying their moral to the needs of modern times. To have preserved the beauty and spirit of the great original in refined and simple English is an achievement of the highest order.
