SO HAY GUYS WE'RE FINALLY GETTING TO MYTHOLOGY! Here, have some Mahabharata in easy-to-understand English, because the story is awesome. No, seriously. Read it.

( In which a ridiculously long, old poem is turned into a fractured, semi-westernized fairytale. )

Sorry, flist. Hinduism = interesting to me.

( Regarding purity and the Vedic definition of karma (aka not your favorite sitcom's definition) )

Homigod you guys, not only did I learn about every "Chinese" (PEOPLE OF THE HAAAAN) dynasty, I also learned FOUR (4) Han-system characters (human, big/great, heaven/ly, imperial capital) and more about the emperor's role in Japan than...I don't know. Insert a comparison.

( Here, have a short overview of the entire lecture! :D )
