“Wonderful! Your storytelling art – which
quickly gets to the essence of everything – has opened the world of Mahabharata
to me , for it has opened up the world of the feelings and emotions of
Mahabharata.” Sacinandana Swami
“Got the books.
Already finished the first chapter....really nice. Have a friend who teaches
comparative religion classes at the University here, I'll give her a copy.”
Trivikrama Swami, FL
“Andy Fraenkel's very
readable and insightful narrative allows immediate entrance into the
Mahabharata, an epic known for its inscrutability. His deliciously distinct
version of this martial text conjures up images of an ancient storyteller,
sitting at a campfire surrounded by listeners who rightfully hang on his every
word. Not to be missed!” --Steven J. Rosen (Satyaraja Dasa), author of 31 books
& founding editor of the Journal of Vaishnava Studies, www.sjrosen.com
“Andy Fraenkel provides us with a remarkable story
in his adaptation of Mahabharata. . . He captures the essence of the epic and
relates the unfolding action in a most interesting and exciting way.”
Stephen Knapp, Author (Books on India’s ancient Vedic culture)& founder of
Vedic Friends Association, http://www.vedicfriends.org
“Such a great job –
deep and flowing. You are truly gifted to share this profound story the way you
have. Outstanding!” Krsnanandini Dasi, Author & Workshop Leader
“(This is) The first
Mahabharata I can read aloud, placing me in the drama with Krishna, Arjuna, et
al. Andy Fraenkel is today’s Sanjaya, the Gita’s reteller and seer of the
Kuruksetra War. The book is lyrical. I
am reminded of the verse in CC Adi-lila 1:106 -
‘Essential truth spoken concisely is true eloquence.’ The path to
transcendence has never been brighter!” Suresvara Das, Workshop Leader
This book is an incredible
rendition of one of the oldest written books on the planet. I highly recommend
it if you want to immerse yourself in the most amazing drama and intrigue ever
recorded.” Darrell Martin, Blue Boy Herbs,
