The Vedas, which are generally regarded as the timeless revelation of God received by the Vedic Rishis, are not the only important Hindu Holy scriptures. There are also the great epics Ramayana (story of Rama) and Mahabharata (the great story of the Bharatas, dealing mainly with the Krishna Avatar). The Bhagavad Gita with its immortal dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna on the battle field of Kurukshetra is in fact a part of the Mahabharata. The latter comprises more than 90,000 couplets, which makes it about six times as long as the Greek Illiad.
