ORIGIN OF THE EPIC OF MAHABHARATA

He was the son of Satyavati and the wandering sage Parashara. He was born on an island in the river Yamuna (3500 years and 4000 years ago). He was called Veda Vyasa as he was the one who classified the Vedas into four branches. Vyasa was grandfather to the Kauravas and Pandavas.

AUTHOR OF:

In the first book of the Mahābhārata, it is described that Vyasa asked Ganesha to aid him in writing the text, however Ganesha imposed a condition that he would do so only if Vyasa narrated the story without pause. To which Vyasa then made a counter-condition that Ganesha must understand the verse before he transcribed it.

Thus Lord VedVyas narrated the whole Mahābhārata and all the Upanishads and the 18 Puranas, while Lord Ganesha wrote. Vyasa is supposed to have meditated and authored the epic by the foothills of the river Beas (Vipasa) in the Punjab region.
