A Message of Gratitude

The Mahābhārata Digital Project exists because of the vision and generosity of patrons who believe that the ancient wisdom of Bhārata must be preserved, made accessible, and shared with the world. The Hindu Fund Organisation's munificent contribution has made this sacred endeavour possible, allowing scholars, students, and seekers of knowledge across the globe to access the Great Epic in its original Sanskrit.

Through your support, thousands of readers can now navigate all 18 parvans of the Mahābhārata — with scholarly tools, Devanāgarī text, and navigational aids that honour the depth and grandeur of this timeless epic. What was once accessible only to a handful of specialists is now open to all.

उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत् ।

— One must elevate oneself by one's own efforts, and not allow oneself to be degraded. (Bhagavad Gītā 6.5)

What Your Support Has Made Possible

Your contribution has funded the digitisation, mark-up, and scholarly annotation of the complete Critical Edition of the Mahābhārata — a project that took decades of painstaking work by scholars across India to assemble from hundreds of manuscripts in seven scripts. The digital platform now brings that labour to life, making it searchable, navigable, and freely available.

18 Parvas

100+ Upaparvas

1,800+ Adhyāyas

100K+ Shlokas

The epic, as the ancient teachers held, is not merely literature — it is pañcamo veda, the fifth Veda. Every śloka preserved and made accessible is a small light rekindled in the vast tradition of Bhāratīya knowledge. Your generosity has lit thousands of such lights.

नारायणं नमस्कृत्य नरं चैव नरोत्तमम् ।
देवीं सरस्वतीं चैव ततो जयमुदीरयेत् ॥

— Having saluted Nārāyaṇa, Nara the supreme among men, and the goddess Sarasvatī, one should then proclaim victory. (Mahābhārata, opening invocation)

सुहृदं सर्वभूतानां ज्ञात्वा मां शान्तिमृच्छति ॥

— Knowing Me as the well-wisher of all beings, one attains peace. (Bhagavad Gītā 5.29)
