DESCRIPTION:Patricia Greer: Snakes in the Mahābhārata\n\n"When all this w
 as without light and unillumined\, and on all its sides covered by darknes
 s\, there arose one large Egg\, the inexhaustible seed of all creatures. T
 hey say that this was the great divine cause\, in the beginning of the Eon
 ..." (1(1)26-27)\n\nSo begins the bard who will recite the entire Mahābh
 ārata as he himself heard it recited at a twelve-year Snake Sacrifice in 
 which black-garbed brahmins chanted hymns to lure all snakes into the flam
 es of their sacrificial fire. Thus the world’s longest poem in the start
 s with the enigma of a great egg that lies below the cosmic waters in the 
 kingdom of divine/demonic oviparous Snakes.\n\nThis talk is about those sn
 akes and their role in the Mahābhārata.\n\nGraduate Institute Summer Lec
 tures are held live across both campuses and also live-streamed\, except f
 or the Snakes in the Mahābhārata lecture on July 26\, which will be live
  only. This event will be in person only but was also presented earlier th
 is summer\, and recorded. Once available\, it can be found on the college'
 s lecture playlist on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/@stjohnscollege/
