In Indian literature, oral literature is as important as the worship of tinamou. Hindu literary traditions dominate a large part of Indian culture.
In addition to the Vedas are sacred forms of knowledge, there are other works such as the Hindu epics Ramayana and Mahabharata, treatises such as Vaastu Shastra in architecture and city planning, and political science . Devotional Hindu drama, poetry and songs are present throughout the subcontinent.
Mahabharata
No one knows the author of the Mahabharata.
According to the text, was told by Viasadeva, who is one of the major dynastic characters within it (although it does not appear many times throughout history.) The grandfather was wise Viasa the two dynasties protagonists of the story: the Kauravas and the Pandavas. This relationship allowed him to learn a lot about the events within the royal family. In addition he lived in Kurukshetra, in a forest close to the battlefield (the center of the story), which allowed him to learn some details of the war that took place before his eyes and finally write the story.
Ganapati And Viasa.
The great Lord Brahma (the creator of the universe) came down and told you to get help Viasa Ganapati (Ganesha) for its work [to put in writing the speech]. Ganapati wrote the hymns recited by memory pathways and thus Bhārata was registered. Ganapati could not write at the speed of track, so that several words or even whole lines were lost.
During the time of Viasa, writing was unknown or at least a non-conventional or too new technology. The wise would not know to write, because they felt that writing was appropriate for the mortals of the age of Kali, which would have little memory for several thousand verses.
Map showing the places mentioned in the Mahabharata. The names represent the kingdoms yellow, orange are the foreign realms (speculated location), the pink are alien tribes, rivers are blue, violet mountains and forests green.
The first texts that were preserved are about the year 500 AD, in words indu and brahmi (the first type of letter that was written the Sanskrit language.)
By matching stories told by different narrators professional differences were apparent, explaining as Ganapati failure to put the text in writing. Anyway it is believed he suffered a minimum loss of information during its existence as oral recitation, due to the excellent preservation techniques used by the ancient Hindus. The Vedas were the texts preserved by oral tradition, even though they are older than the Mahabharata.
