MAHABHARATA BUTCHERED RETELLING, PART 1!

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. )

Current Mood: pensive

Yes, this will happen every time I do my homework. [now with 400% more appropriate icon!]

Sorry, flist. Hinduism = interesting to me.

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

I like my Hinduism class. It's actually a joint undergrad/graduate-level course, and I'm really liking the way it's taught because of that. The least survey-ish survey course ever. It's fantastic.

Also, as I learned in my O Hay Look, Jesuit Missionaries In Late Ming Dynasty China! class, Chinese Is Hard To Read, Especially The Older Type. That was totally worth devoting 100 minutes of class to learning. ~~AT LEAST I KNOW THE CHARACTER FOR WOOD NOW?~~

Current Mood: energetic

First Monarchies post, woo~!

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 )

Mmmm, college. ♥ Anyway, I doubt anyone wants a SPANISH recap, so this is probably all you get for today. I need to go run around, so I'll probably be back after class! :D

Are you happy, Bobsie?
