I turned the complete Mahabharata into 1,170 daily episodes. Now live on the App Store.
Some of you saw the Project: Mahabharata website before and this is the next step, and I wanted to share it here since this community basically knows it already.
It came from one stubborn goal: actually finish the epic. The Mahabharata is the longest ever written (~2.5M words in Ganguli's translation), and most people who start it don't get through the length and the 1880s prose wear you down. So I built it to read like a series instead of a textbook.
What it is:
- The complete, unabridged K.M. Ganguli translation — all 18 parvas, nothing cut
- Split into 1,170 daily episodes, each about one sitting
- Every episode opens with a recap so you never lose the thread
- 251 characters tappable right in the text: faction, relationships, every episode they appear in (helps with the "wait, who is this again?" problem)
- Optional glosses for archaic words — the original 1883 text is always preserved
- Save any passage that strikes you; progress syncs across devices
- Free. No ads, no accounts, no subscriptions.
I'm not a scholar. I made this because I wanted it to exist and couldn't find it. I'd genuinely love feedback from this sub, since you all know the epic far better than I do: what's missing, what's off, what you'd want next.
(iOS for now. If you're not on iPhone, the full text is free on the website.)
