It doesn't just teach about Dharma. Maha means Great, and India was once called Bharat. The 5 devas are symbolic of the 5 senses. Oppenheimer had read Eastern philosophy. The Mahabharata involves a battle of two sides... until an energy was used that caused the flash of suns to destroy a city. What other type of weapon do you know that uses that type of explosion? Where did they get that knowledge? There is a ton of esoteric teaching in the Mahabharata, and it's even been turned into a television series. You've got your work cut out for you studying this Indian classic.
