This week for a change i picked up collection of poem/conversation by Ramdhari Singh Dinkar. The book is poets version of conversation happening between Karn, Krishna, Kunti, Duryodhan in the battle field of Kurukshatra, part of epic saga Mahabharatha. Credit must be given to Ramdhari Singh Dinkar for his imagination and writing this.
Instead of adding my notes, I am adding some YouTube videos for you all to watch and listen to the content of this book.
I would strongly recommend everyone to watch this video which talks about life and learning of the famous Poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar.
The most famous section on the poem is where Krishna comes to Duryodhana asking him to give back kingdom to Pandavas and not doing so will result in battle which is not good for human kind. I am adding the recitation of the part by Manoj Bajpayee, award winning bollywood actor.
Another important aspect of this poem collection is that it depicts how mighty was Karn and that all of a sudden everyone including Krishna tries to persuade him and join Padavas side.
Listen to recital below where Krishna is persuading Karn to join Pandavas side
If I had enough $$, I would have defiantly made a movie to show the world how mighty was Karn. 🙂
The mighty warrior The great leaning for us all is how to keep Dharma, Karma and our relationship everything intact and keep doing what we have to do.
