Cover of Gurcharan Das: Difficulty of Being Good (ePUB)

Why be good? What exactly is Dharma? How does one practise it; and to what effect? Gurcharan Das s superb exposition of the dilemmas and ambiguities inherent in the Mahabharata shows us how we can come to terms with the uncertain ethics of the world today; a world that is uncannily similar to that of the great epic.
