ധർമകല്പദ്രുമം (Dharmakalpadrumam)

Mahabharatam is a world-renowned composition that has acquired popularity and fame throughout the length and breadth of this country for more than the past 5,000 years, formulating human values and inculcating peace, happiness and discipline in her people. And what does Vyasa Deva describe in it – the lives and deeds of his own descendants. More than contemporary history, Mahabharatam is the autobiography of its author. It is only when people know about, ruminate over, reflect upon and get mentally amalgamated with the indelible models Vyasa, Karna, Bheeshma, Draupadi and Krishna, that similar superlative nobilities develop in them. It is unknown even today how Vyasadeva, who gave us these characters, grew up in his childhood; yet the Maharshi is at the pinnacle of intelligence, mind and actions. How did this become possible, what is the concealed truth in this? ‘Dharmakalpadrumam’, an illustration of these characters of Mahabharata, provides answers to many such queries and riddles and their reconciliation.
