নৃসিংহ প্রসাদ ভাদুড়ীর কৃষ্ণ কুন্তী এবাং কৌন্তেয়া

Not only in its epic scale and vastness, but the Mahabharata also astonishes and captivates any dedicated reader with its timeless divine grandeur. The diverse and multi-colored script of human life and time depicted in the Mahabharata is rare in any literature. When the author of the Mahabharata says that this great work is as towering as the Himalayas, as unfathomable as the ocean, and a repository of precious jewels, it does not seem like an exaggeration.

Nrisingha Prasad Bhaduri has long been engaged in the study of the Mahabharata. One must say that he has shown remarkable skill in offering a new interpretation and presentation of this eternal epic. This beautifully written and meticulously crafted book is not just a portrayal of Kunti and her four sons—Karna, Yudhishthira, Arjuna, Bhima—and Draupadi-Krishna. The author sheds light on various aspects of these six main characters and creates them in intricate, detailed forms. This is a difficult task because each character in the Mahabharata is like a 'diamond fragment'. And who does not know how difficult it is to penetrate the hardness of these 'diamond-like characters'?

The complex and multifaceted nature of Kunti's character, the radiant and cultured brilliance of Krishna, the worldview of Yudhishthira, the life mystery of Karna, the vitality of Bhima, and the vast potential of Arjuna's life journey are not easy to analyze. The author has achieved the impossible through in-depth study and enjoyment of the epic.

Upon its publication in journals, this well-analyzed gallery of characters created a stir among readers. The author's description and writing style became even more profound and resonant with the use of the original Sanskrit verses of the Mahabharata. Keeping in mind the revered ancestors, it can be said that this book is a novel addition to the study of characters in the Mahabharata.
