An artist presents the world around him, shaped by how he sees it: by his perceptions and beliefs.

The essence of dharma or righteousness is complex and the Mahabharata reveals many facets of it through a variety of characters, situations, expositions, discussions and doubts that are presented in the epic.

Fundamental Truths Religion

Though success, power, fame, name, skills, etc., are considered invaluable assets because they give tremendous confidence to face life’s challenges, there are times when those endowed with some or all of these lose confidence and become panicky.
