What if the battle of Kurukshetra was happening inside your own mind? What if Sita's abduction, Draupadi's humiliation, and Karna's tragedy were inner initiations?

The Inner Mahabharata invites you to explore Indian epics not as distant legends but as intimate maps of the psyche. Through the lens of Carl Jung's psychology—archetypes, shadow work, anima/animus, and individuation—you'll uncover the hidden meanings of mythic stories from the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and the Puranas.

🔹 Discover Rama as the striving Ego, Ravana as the unintegrated Shadow
🔹 See Krishna as the divine Self guiding Arjuna through inner war
🔹 Understand Draupadi's insult and Karna's pain as symbolic wounding
🔹 Learn to read your dreams, trace your inner archetypes, and reclaim your soul

This book isn't just a philosophical reflection—it's a transformative guide. It includes journaling prompts, mythic meditations, and exercises for crafting your own "personal myth".

For seekers of inner truth, lovers of story, and students of psyche—this is your modern Upanishad.
