Itihasa (Ramayana and Mahabharata) and Purana are collectively called the fifth Veda. Essence of the Fifth Veda builds on the narration of Ramayana and Mahabharata with over 265 related geographical locations identifiable even today. This fast-paced book blends many lesser-known legends like God Hanuman carrying a mountain with life-saving herbs not once but twice. The Mahabharata as a World War is vividly described. The many exciting miracles of God Krishna should arouse awe and Bhakti in your heart. The book also explains in simple language the path of moksha as beautifully recited in Yoga Vasishtha and the eternal Bhagavad Geeta.
