The professor at the Faculty of Philosophy, Letters and Human Sciences at USP, João Carlos Barbosa Gonçalves, a specialist in Sanskrit and Hindu language and literature, explains what The Mahabharata is, a fundamental book of Hinduism, a huge work with 200 thousand verses that narrates the war between two families, with kinship ties, for the possession of a vast territory in India. The Mahabharata contains a book well known and translated throughout the world, and important for Hindu philosophy, the Bhagavad-Gita: a dialogue between the Hindu deity Krishna and the powerful warrior Arjuna, who is reluctant to fight his relatives.
