Vyuha: The Lost Art - Kurukshetra War

Vyūha is a military formation or an arrangement of troops in a battle. Thousands of years ago armies in ancient India developed the art of deploying large composite formations on the battlefield. With advent of science the need for employment of large formations has virtually disappeared. When an art is lost it is death of a civilization.

This book reveals the secret of the forgotten art of VYUHA, its characteristics, composition, types and its application during the Kurukshetra war.

To reinforce the authenticity of the content few Sanskrit verses from original texts have been included where necessary.

This book is an indispensable source of reference to all students, researchers and practioners of Indian Knowledge system.
