Would any of you bisexuals be interested in joining me in a reading group of the whole of the sacred Mahabharata?
>>9512115
How gay of y'all to not even want to know the itihasa!
>>9512115
I read an odd handful of hundred pages of the mahabhtataararaddsa, and the bhagagfadvdvda gita. I have to say, it's a lot of brainwashing, especially those ridiculous passages poeticizing the sacredness of cows, which I enjoy eating, though I am of partial pajeet descent. Most of the rest seemed like filler building up towards the bhdagacvda gita, which I do acknowledge as a supremely profound work of literature, though I can't seem to remember how it's spelt.
But that's not the reason I don't want to read with you. The style of anime you posted is mad gay. Downvoted, faggot.

It's well known that Indian epic poetry exists mainly for the purposes of sectarian proselytizing.
It's not unlike the Canterbury Tales, which was written to convert the already-Christian English to Christianity.
>>9512115
It is one of the longest epic poems in any culture period. Do you think a single person on this board has the stamina to read a fourth of it?
>>9512115
>the whole of the Mahabharata
You're talking 7k pages easily
I'll stick with abridged til I'm in my fourties and have the time
>>9512901
>written to convert already christians to christianism
Funny since christians, as a rule, are the most ignorant towards their own creed
>>9512963
No, it's funny because you're reading the Mahabharata like it's a fucking Hare Krishna pamphlet instead of a crown jewel of world literature.
>>9512115
what does bissexuality has to do with it
you have my attention
>>9512981
At least the krishnas know sanskrit. When was the last time you met a christian who knew koiné?
>>9513008
Sorry bro I'm just here to make fun of you for being stupid. Have a nice day.
Fuck, i just realized Christ = Krsna. Do you think Ioshua was another avatar of Visnu?
>>9512115
Alright, what translation are we reading? I am a poo in loo but sadly i've never read it, only watched it as a TV series when i was a kid. It sounded too fantastic for my edgy tastes back then.

is there any point in reading translated poetry?

It's not ideal obviously, but yes.

>the style of anime you posted is mad gay
Shoujo anime deals with character development and human emotion better than le social reject in a giant robot meme anime
..>>9513985
Every great author in the canon read tons of translated poetry. The average /lit/ poster has never read anything. Whom do you want to emulate
>>9512115
what is trisexuals
>>9514975
Will fuck anything on three wheels.
>>9513347
Is there any translation in verse?
I hate Prose
>>9514865
Who, not whom.
>>9514975
trisexuals is a type of dinosaur, but some scholars argue it was merely the immature form of the torosexuals.
I can read the devanagari. But i still don't know more than a few sanskrit words (like five or six)
>>9512115
What is this and why should I care?

Completely right. Most 'normal' shoujo about some girl begin fawned over by a bunch of dudes is garbage, but there's otherwise it's the best anime has to offer.
>>9518333
trips of shoujo truth

I'd read a manga adaption of the Mahabharata if it was drawn in that style desu

>theyre only capable of beating off someone
What, this is still up?
Well, if there's any actual interest, I imagine that we should do the Ramayana first, seeing as it's- to my poor understanding- prior both in terms of events and in composition, as well as significantly briefer.

>>9521043
is it in prose or verse?
indian lit is the original red pill
>>9521049
Give up anon. The Mahabharata is HUEG. Nobody is going to make a verse translation of the whole thing, you're better off learning Sanskrit.
>>9521189
well wtf are lazy scholars up to!?
These texts have existed for hundreds of years and they still haven't come up with a translation?
>>9521207
one Dutch guy tried to do a serious translation of the Mahabharata. he got about 1/4 of the way through before he died.
the translation project was given to Wendy Doniger, who is the worst person in the world, a living, breathing embodiment of bigoted SJW waste-of-space academia.
she had like less than zero interest in finishing the translation of the #1 key text of her alleged field of interest, and the project has been on hold since then
there are no other reliable translations
>thread reminded my the Utena manga just got re released
Thanks OP.
