For most of us, the Mahabharata is a grand epic that happened once in ancient India, a war of dharma versus adharma, of family, power, and fate. But within the depths of Hindu cosmology and Puranic philosophy lies a far more intriguing idea. Time is not linear. It is cyclical. And within these cycles, events like the Mahabharata may not be unique, but recurring.
Some interpretations suggest that the Mahabharata, or a similar cosmic conflict, has occurred multiple times across different cycles of creation, with the number often cited as 26 in certain traditional beliefs and spiritual discussions.
