GEETOPADESHAM -MY TANJORE PAINTING





"
"YADHAA YADHAA HI DHARMASYA...

GYAANIR BHAVATHI BHAARATHA...

ABYUTHAANAM ADHARMASYA...

THADHAATHMAANAM SRIJAAMYAHAM...


PARITHRAANAAYA SAADHOONAAM...

VINAASAAYACHA DUSHKRUTHAAM...

DHARMA SAMSTHAABANAARTHAAYA...

SAMBHAVAAMI YUGHE YUGHE..."



MEANING...

"Whenever there is a fall in Dharma(Justice)

and a rise in Adharma(Injustice/The wrong)

I shall come here...

When there is a dance of destruction 

and the principles of sustenance weaken...

I ,who am omnipresent and watching everything...

shall take control of the situation

and set things in balance...

to protect the devout /good...

raze out the evil which vandalises the Earth...

and re-establish Dharma...

I shall manifest 

in every Yugha(Era/period)...."

Thus spake Lord Krishna

in the battle fields of Kurukshetra...

to Arjuna...

who was blessed to get 

the Geetopadesham...

"Do your duty...do not expect the rewards..."

says Krishna...

Doesn't it apply 

not only to the Pandavas but to you and me too?

This is the scene that I have depicted

in my Tanjore Painting

"Geetopadesham"

Where you see Lord Krishna

delivering the divine message

to Arjuna when he hesitates to 

lift his bow and arrow against 

the Kauravas...his kith and kin 

-and also his wrong doers...
