Guest guest Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 The metaphysical significance of the main characters of Panchali Sabadam is immense. Duryodhana dn Draupadi are the main protagonists. Duryodhana is the epitome of the arrogant, ignorant ego-man. Veda Vyasa, the author of the Mahabharati puts appropriate words into this Characters mouth. “I know what is ‘Dharma’, but my heart refuses to follow this difficult path that is most alien to my nature. I know what is ‘Adharma’, and my heart loves to follow this easier path; for that is my natureâ€. And he does not stop there. He adds for good measure: “It is said that you are in the heart of all beings, Krishna. If that is so, you must be in my heart too! That means, as the indweller, it is your responsibility to guide me properly. If I am evil, it only implies that you have failed in your duties and responsibilities. How then can I be blamed at all?†This question also puzzled Arjuna. Who asked Lord Krishna. Why does man commit sins, O Lord? Is he not pushed by some irresistible force?†The Lord makes it explicit that there is no such force operating as an impeller, and that, in the ultimate analysis, man alone is responsible for all his actions. Man is his own best friend, man is his own worst enemy. He has to raise himself by his own positive motivations. Knowledge of the ‘self’ and the self-realisation thereof is not easily attainable. The spiritual path that leads to this path is most difficult and is centred on self-denial of the mundane pleasures. Man, true to his nature, prefers to follow the easier path and ignores the ‘self’. His basic ignorance of the ‘self’ knowledge and his sustained ‘ignoring’ the ‘self’ in favour of material pleasures causes all his problems. He, therefore, loses the capacity to discriminate between the right, the eternal values of existence and the wrong, the transitory, ephemeral pleasures of transmigratory existence. As Yogamaharishi Dr. Swami Gitananda Giri Guru Maharaj often said: “you don’t have problems your are the problem.†Duryodhana is a true representation of the common man, the worldly man, who because he himself is a problem to himself, he creates problems wherever he goes. The Lord of Death, Yamaraj (who ironically is the father of Yudhishthar) tells Nicheketas, “Do not mistake the pleasant for the goodâ€. Duryodhana seeks ease and comfort, he wishes to follow his own lower, animal nature as it is the easiest and most pleasant. Yet, as all who know from the Mahabharatha. This path ends only in death and destruction. Duryodhana lacks control (Dama) Draupathi is the antagonist to Duryodhana. Self welled, proud, arrogant, naughty, beautifully, intelligent! She is the epitome of many higher qualities. Her fatal flaw is her arrogance. Her sarcastic laughter at Duryodhana for his mistake in falling into the pool of water, is the catalyst of the raging passionate fire which will co-sure all of their lives. She is courageous and hold, but her arrogance contribution to the tragic events of the drama. She is not an innocent victim. Like many common minds, she lacks compassion (Daya). Yudhisthir is known as a wise man. But he too has a fatal flaw: his addiction to the game of dice. This makes him lose everything. He is blinded by passion and falls into confusion. The spiritual meaning of his character is that even very highly evolved souls can be destroyed by a single vice. Bharathiyar, the ardent nationalist and feminist, no doubt saw Draupathi as Mother India, disgraced and humiliated by those who should have protected her. He wrote his epic poem in 1908 in Pondicherry, and here this year is the Centenary year of three of his most famous works, written while he was residing in Pondicherry. Yoganjali Natyalayam pays its humble tribute to this great patriot and poet by presenting his timeless work “Panchali Sabadamâ€.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Sir, Feel so happy to have watched such a Spectacular Dance drama, The Panchali Sabadam. The dancers excelled in their performance- each and every one of them lived the character they portrayed- that even a lay man could understand what was being expressed . The Script, the Music, the Singing, everything added up to the glory and the success of the play. Was indeed a great touching experience that words seem to be too limited to convey what the whole show did to us.Mind blowing experience. ThankYou Amma and ThankYou Sir for giving us such a wonderful treat. Certainly Panchali Sabadam has out-performed all the previous ones. meena --- On Sun, 4/10/09, Yogacharya Dr.Ananda Bhavanani <yognat2001 wrote: Yogacharya Dr.Ananda Bhavanani <yognat2001 metaphysical significance of the main characters of Panchali Sabadam Date: Sunday, 4 October, 2009, 8:44 AM The metaphysical significance of the main characters of Panchali Sabadam is immense.
