Mahabharata Daily
The greatest story ever told, one email a day. A short episode every day for about a year, each with a lesson for the day and a cliffhanger.
Our heritage, one story a day.
The Hindu Story sends the great epics to your inbox, a few minutes at a time. Short, modern and faithful to the source, written for a generation that reads on its phone. Start with the Mahabharata, told as a year-long story, one episode a day.
The Ramayana and a daily verse from the Bhagavad Gita are coming next.
Why we tell these stories
For the next generation
Many of us first heard these stories from a grandparent. Our children are growing up on feeds and phones. We tell the same stories in a form that fits a small screen and a busy day.
A few minutes, every day
Each email takes about two minutes to read: one episode, one lesson for the day, and a reason to come back tomorrow. Small enough to keep up with, steady enough to finish the whole epic.
So it is never lost
These stories have carried our values for thousands of years because people kept telling them. Every reader, and every family that reads together, keeps them alive a little longer.
A daily reminder
One story a day becomes a small ritual: a reminder of where we come from, waiting for you each morning or evening.
How it works
Enter your email
Enter your email address on the program page. We send you a confirmation link; click it and your free week starts. No card, and nothing else is sent until you click.
Pick morning or evening
On the same form, choose a morning email (8am) or an evening email (7pm) and your time zone. You can change either later from the Manage link in any email.
Read a little every day
Each day's email holds the whole day's reading. On Sundays it also links to a week-in-review page you can share. Keep going for $3 a month or $24 a year, and add your family for $1 a month each so the whole family follows the story together, on the same day.
No card for the free week. One email a day. Unsubscribe with one click in any email and the emails stop. Full refund on request within 14 days of paying.
