"Yagyaseni – The Ultimate Oblation" is inspired by Gyanpeeth awardee Dr. Pratibha Ray's novel Yagyaseni. Born from the sacred flames of a yagya (sacrificial fire), Draupadi ultimately offers her deepest emotions—those of a daughter, wife, mother, and, most importantly, a woman—as the final aahuti (oblation) to invoke the Lord of Dharma. Her journey is one of immense emotional upheaval, yet she endures with unwavering resilience. Through her trials, she expands beyond the personal, shedding the self in pursuit of a higher truth—the establishment of dharma. If the Mahabharata is a grand Dharmayagya, Draupadi is its ultimate offering—her brilliance transcending mortality and merging into divinity. At the heart of this exploration is Draupadi’s profound and spiritual bond with Krishna, a relationship that serves as her guiding force. Their connection, rooted in wisdom and trust, shapes her choices, fortifies her spirit, and ultimately leads her toward transcendence.Read More
