Calling it a shloka
I wasn't expecting starting in on an Eastern invasion this wake period, but things happen, being open to the possibilities, not totally open as that would constitute a quite larger reservoir of funds. I tried to get the good translation of the Mahabharata for free to put into the kindle it even said kindle in it's description, but my darn chrome browser doesn't support it and i forget how exactly to convert pdf's or whatever they are to kindle. There's another version i downloaded, and it begins with a section which is about 13 chapters into the cheap version gotten.
Talk about confusing just on a basic entrypoint level. But i'm intrigued, there's so much supplemental material just on YouTube also.
The Puranas are another thing that will need to be collected, which from what i gather are more on the myth side than the 2 epics which are ititata which is like history.
The Upanishads included are not all of them i think, there's a thing for 6 bucks which has the best of them running a little over 200 pages.
The other Vedas of course, but those Puranas look like the best next thing after Bibek Debroy's Mahabharata, which btw includes i believe the famous Bhagavad-Gita. I have somewhere a groovy 70's style hardcover of that, by some Swami.
All those names, titles, terms and places, who's who and so on, what i most want to learn is the philosophical elements.
But i've not abandoned the other books, it's real neat to swiftly switch gears from ancient Indian stuff to modernist fiction.
Have a nice and sweet one folks, when i eat i shall soon be off to wonderland where i'll ride a sacred elephant, and see guys with four heads, and 8 arms and so forth.
