I’m no authority on all this, I’m just summarising what I’ve so far learnt and understood from various sources. I think the Mahabharatha can be seen at many different levels.

[post contains kannada] This was a real gem on sampada… at first I had a [totally baseless] assumption that the interview might be about politics or something (and boring)… (The writeup says: “ಸಿರಿಸಂಪಿಗೆಯ ಕವಿ ಚಂದ್ರಶೇಖರ ಕಂಬಾರರನ್ನು ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರಿಗೆ ಪರಿಚಯಿಸುವ ಅಗತ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ.” – ಆದರೆ ನನ್ನಂತ ಮುಠ್ಠಾಲ್ರೂ ಇರ್ತ್ತಾರೆ ಸ್ವಾಮಿ – ನನಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಿರ್ಲಿಲ್ಲ… 😳 ) …but anyway… the podcasted interview […]
