Mahabharat and mgt. The Mahabharat‚ the longest epic in the world‚ is about couple of million words in total. Its not just the length of the epic that makes it grand and superior‚ but also the quality‚ reach and teachings it consists. The Mahabharat’s scope is best summarized by one quotation: “What is found here‚ may be found elsewhere. What is not found here‚ will not be found elsewhere”.
