we are all love-lorn
Acrylic painting on canvas 254mm x 305mm Unframed
This
is an imaginary literay portrait of the mood of a classical Sanskrit
long poem - 'Meghdoota' by Kalidasa
[Meghdoota means Cloud the Messenger.Sanskrit is a now-dead ancient
Indian language like Latin].
The poem tells the following story -
In
the kingdom of God, there was a semi-divine being [yaksha] who
worked for the Treasurer of God [kubera].
His duty was to collect fresh flowers for the Treasurer early every
morning. Then he got
married. And did not want to leave his wife so early everyday.So
he started collecting
flowers previous day evening.Once a bee was caught in the half-closed
flower and stang the Treasurer the next day when the flower opened
up. The yaksha was banished to far off land for a year as a punishment
- to be away from his wife.Here, he pleads to a cloud to carry his
message of love to his wife back home.
The whole poem is entreaties to the cloud.
Our national poet, Tagore, said on this Poem - we are all that yaksha on this earth - we are all love-lorn, pining for a lover throughout
our life
