Fall asleep to the calm, in-depth exploration of the most difficult question in the Mahabharata: Why Krishna Couldn't Save Abhimanyu.

It is the question that has haunted readers for thousands of years. Krishna is the Avatar—the one who guides the chariot, stops time, and bends reality. Yet when his own nephew, a sixteen-year-old boy, was trapped alone in the Chakravyuha, the divine charioteer was miles away. Was it a mistake? A tactical failure? Or something much deeper and more terrifying?

Fall asleep to the calm, in-depth story of Krishna's death from the Mahabharata.

How does a god die? Not in battle. Not surrounded by armies or glory. But alone in a forest, struck by a hunter's arrow meant for a deer. The story of Krishna's death is one of the most profound and unexpected endings in all of Hindu mythology—a tale of cosmic karma, a curse that waited thirty-six years, and the quiet acceptance of a divine being who knew exactly how his story would end.

Fall asleep to the calm, in-depth story of Karna from the Mahabharata.

He was born wearing golden armor. Abandoned in a river at sunrise. Raised by a charioteer's family. And he became one of the greatest warriors who ever lived—fighting on the side that would lose, loyal to a friend who led him to his death. This is the story of Karna, the son of the sun god, the eldest Pandava who never knew his own brothers, and the man who chose friendship over a throne.
