घेरते वे थहाते लड़ाते रहे। और मुद्दे बनाते उठाते रहे।

वे लड़े,  प्रश्न थोपें, उछालें वही। बन्द सीमा कराते  छकाते  रहे।

आज पूँजी फिरें साथ तकनीक के, बंदिशें  मानवों  पर  लगाते  रहे।

वे तिजोरी भराने सदा दौड़ते, विश्व के गाँव, छुट्टे छँहाते रहे।

टूटती है न सीमा सभी के लिए। छूट कुछ, रोक कुछ बरगला रहे।

O My Teacher, Behold the Great Army of the Sons of Pandu

This profound moment captures the fragile yet volatile precipice of the great war at Kurukshetra. Within the crimson confines of a royal pavilion, the troubled prince Duryodhana approaches his venerable preceptor, Dronacharya. With a gesture charged with anxiety and restless ambition, Duryodhana points toward the formidable military array formed by the sons of Pandu. The artwork visualizes the very opening verses of the Bhagavad Gita, where mortal fears, political tension, and the heavy burden of destiny converge before the clash of righteousness and greed.
