The Book of Bhima - 4/7 Krishnavatara Series by KM Munshi



The Book of Bhima, the fourth volume in K.M. Munshi’s Krishnavatara series, delves into Bhima’s vibrant personality, marked by his immense strength and humorous, mischievous nature. 

This volume balances Bhima’s playful character with his significant role in pivotal events. Munshi captures Bhima’s dynamic interactions with Draupadi and others while illustrating his contributions to the Pandavas’ rise, including their journey to Hastinapur and the establishment of Khandavaprastha. It also talks about Bhima's love towards Jalandhara - Bhanumati's sister. Bhima's trouble with differences of opinion with his eldest is brought about in the book well. 

The narrative adds depth to Bhima, showcasing his humanity alongside his heroic traits, making it a compelling exploration of his role in the Mahabharata.
