Being a Hindu, I really wanted to understand Mahabharata in most easiest words as possible and thanks to you for making it so easy and interesting throughout the series!

No one can imagine what this Podcast had done for the Indian epic. Do not miss this. Instead of going through numerous books or for that matter just reading one book is very tedious job for us in the day to day life. This podcast made "proud" to every Indian who like to know much details about this story. Excellent narration of stories with indpeth analysis of different version and I enjoyed it. Thanks for this Podcast. Great Job !!!

Thank you for the wonderful podcast. I have read different versions of the Mahabharata so many times over the years and have always found the story enthralling. Its refreshing to listen to your version of the story in a non judgemental narrative. This effort is also more commendable considering you are not an Indian. Thank you for for producibg and narrating the story. I must say your narrative style is quite compelling. I always log in wanting to listen to one podcast per day, but find myself compelled to continue even after 2 or 3 podcast hearings!! :)

I have always been pretty interested and fascinated by Mahabharata which sure is one of the greatest epics. I m impressed with the research here and how the way multiple sequences have been put together in a nice flow. Great effort !!

Amazing work , Thanks a lot Lawrence. I have never spent time listening to anything other than music. But this one is spellbinding. The language used is sublime.. Fantastic work !!

Just awesome I wanted to know all about this epic since 10 years,please continue this good work

Awesome

I love the English and easy listening translation of the epic

I'm an avid podcast and audio book listener. This podcast is just great quality. Lawrence Manzo has sure taken this project seriously and put a lot of thought, time, energy, reading ... all into it.

A must listen!

Hi Lawrence,

Thanks for this wonderful podcast. Very informative!!!

Wow ! Your effort to have made this wonderful podcast sure needs a lot of credit . It's amazing

Hi lawrance

Thanx a lot for reciting this great epic and because of these podcasts i ve developed a great interest in this great epic.

Thanx you soo much.

When you hear stuff from somebody who's not your everyday, freindly neighbourhood Hindu, a lot of objectivity steps in. It was a different experience from everything I had heard about Mahabharata right from my grandmother's lap to the present gurus. Without judging, simply put, it makes you think. Keep it up!

Lawerence,

I am very impressed with your in depth knoweldge in Mahabharata .Actually liked the way the podcast is done.

Keep up the good work .hoping to see more of your work in future

Good narration, Excellent coverage of story & kept simple to understand.

Very well narrated.

I have been listening to this podcast for a long time now. I love the way Lawrence structures his podcasts. Great about of thought, research & precision goes into every episode. I have never been disappointed with even a single episode so far. I love the critical analysis & reasoning he includes in each episode.

This is a great podcast to subscribe to if you've never heard of the epic or if you've grown up listening to it. You will not be disappointed.

Well done!! Great work!

Really it's amazing

Thank you very much for such a great podcast ...

Thank you

Its an awesome podcast.. Thank you so much for such a value able podcast..

Thanks...great brilliant job...!

Lawrence, a fantastic rendring of the Mahabaratha. Your efforts are evident from the excellant production. Kudos!!

Keep them coming!

Being an Indian, and a 19 yr old, i never thought i would actually take interest in Mahabharata, but kudos to you, great podcast, good narration too. You explain very nicely, even though, some of the things could get complicated, even while telling. Your pronumciations are not bad either ;)

Just started listening, listen to 2 episodes everyday, good job!

Pls post the latest podcasts.. It's been a long time since the last upload

Amazing, simple n kool ".

Superb work

Having been raised n lived in india where the great epic seems to have taken place is yet not learned or known to a country with the largest population in the world. Yr efforts are really brilliant n I see you are well considering all the available versions to give a full view .. It's tough sometimes as you mispronounce the way everyone sounds but it's Sanskrit afterall!

I am amazed at your energy and enthusiasm of putting together this great podcast.

Keep up the good work, and thanks again.

Thanks for creating such a joy through your podcast.

The amount of effort you must have put in researching for this podcast is amazing. I especially love the way you put your own thoughts and ideas in places, and how you omit the irrelevant sections. I've finished all 59 installments in less than 2 weeks playing it everyday to work and back and I'm gonna be very sad tomorrow without the next episode. Eagerly awaiting the next installment. Thanks a ton!

This well researched podcast helps one to understand this intricate story. The podcaster gets through all the difficult to explain and controversial bits without difficulty. All this makes this podcast a must hear for anyone interested in this epic.

Excellent work. I am a good fan of you. However kindly avoid some sensitive parts in your language. Hope u know that lots of religious points are mentioned in this story so small twist from u will give a very bad image of the religion. Particularly to youngster

The story telling is simply great.

Thanks a million for putting in so much effort and time. I spent this weekend catching up on all 51 episodes so that I could be up to date on the story so far. Now I can't wait for the next instalment to come!

I'd last heard the story told verbally by my grandparents some decades ago. Then, it was all piety and holiness that dominated the narrative. It's nice to hear a less reverent style of narration. I think this particular epic is better listening to, than reading it in a book or seeing it dramatised on a screen.

So thanks again. Please keep up the good work!

Great quality podcast. Thanks Lawrence for undertaking this monumental work and producing another way of knowing this great story for generations to come. It is a story with infinite learnings and because of your efforts, you have made it accessible to the whole world. Listening can be sometimes much better than watching the story being played out, since, the creation of scene being described can be as great as one's imagination.

To anybody who has been lucky to reach this podcast, thank your stars and subscribe to the podcast and get a taste of this great Indian mythology. Magical story for your magical devices.

Thank you so much. Very interesting podcasts, explained really well. Looking forward to more. Thank you once again.

Apart from the fact that Mahabharata is so interesting by itself, your narration only complements it wonderfully. Love your periodic analyses and opinions. Thanks so much! :-)

It takes a great deal of patience and hardwork to come up with something like this. It's a must listen to for all enthusiasts.

Thank you Lawrance.

The podcast covers the epic in detail and also has a critical review of some instances where background detail missing. Pronunciation of names needs to be ignored. I have to admit that few times characters or situations are poorly analyzed. Overall, it's a good way to enjoy the epic story. Thanks for making this Podcast.

I salute the artist for his focus, wits and dedication.

I really enjoyed the podcasts.

Very very accessible for beginners like me. Makes for a great listen during my long rides to work. Thank you.... Keep 'em coming.

I stumbled upon this podcast accidentally, downloaded it and never listened for a long time. Last two weeks started with the initial episodes and could not stop and have listed to all the 20+ episodes at every free moment I managed to get. As someone with more than a passing interest in mythology(Indian, Greek, Roman), I should say the author brings the right mix of critical scholarship and deep empathy with the spiritual elements of the characters and events. I especially love the use of contemporary language that keeps the material accessible. Very highly recommended. If you read this Lawrence, do know you have a fan out of Bangalore.

The Prodcast is simply great, has every detail of the story and the author narrates in the best possible way to make it simple.

I have throughly enjoyed listening to the great epic, although it's pretty tough to wait a whole month for the next 1. Please let me know if you could increase the frequency. It would make me and my family really happy. Thank you once again for taking the time.

Mahabharat, the greatest epic ever!

Thanks a lot for this podcast.

No matter how many times we read it, listen it, Mahabharat keeps amazing, always.

Refering Bhishma as 'Eunuch' wasn't in good taste.

It’s one of the best stories of Indian maythology and well explained and retold by Lawrence. Kudos for his great efforts. I am eagerly waiting for next episodes to come. Very influential voice & quite impressive storyteller

The podcast is simply great :) Pronunciation of certain names are sometimes weird but that is ok till the time knowledge is correctly downloaded

Keep up the good work.
