One of the greatest treasures of Indian culture is the Mahabharata, a colossal epic work that explores the depths of the human soul while telling an exciting story. Mahabharata is not only a complete philosophical system, but also the essence of Indian religion and culture. Vyasadeva (the literary incarnation of Lord Krishna) put this monumental work down in writing about 5000 years ago, at the beginning of Kali Yuga. It is the world’s longest known verse, consisting of 100 000 stanzas (sloka), 200 000 lines, and 1.8 million words. It is about 15 times longer than the Bible, and a lighter reading than, for example, the texts from the four Vedas. This is why it is a recommended reading for the ones just getting to know Vedic knowledge, as the exciting story appeals to us much more, than the bald and hard to understand philosophy of the Vedas.

Why we should be grateful everyday
In the rush and stress of modern life, it is easy to lose focus on the good things that surround us.

Education in Krishna Valley
Currently, there is an accredited primary school, kindergarten and secondary school in Krisna-völgy. Class rooms are located in three school buildings, from the first to the eighth grade. In 2022 high school was also officialy registered and the first students were able to continue their education in our local school. Up and until September 2022 the school only went up to the ninth grade.
I thought the best way to introduce the school would be by interviewing on of the school’s students.
