New article: Understanding the Mahabharata - Part 2

We have published a new article on certain important sections of the Mahabharata. Hope this is interesting and clarificatory for our readers.
This is the second part of the Mahabharata series, where we take up 3 sections which elaborate the nature of the Supreme Being (Vishnu), the nature of the realized, subservient self (Shiva) and the nature of the means (PancarAtra). 

Sri Bhishma Stavam

Dear all,

While digging up material for my study of the Ishvara gIta in the kUrma purANa, I came upon this. In the Santi parva of theMahabhArata, there is a touching stOtra by shrI bhIshmAchArya. He recognizes the Lord nArAyaNa as the Supreme Being, and as krishNa who is standing before him.
