627) Mahabharat: A set of 18 stamps issued by India Post depicting scenes from the great Indian Epic Poem issued on 27.11.2017:

The Mahabharat is an Indian Epic, which is in a world-famous class of its own, vast, immortal, rich, deep, essential, thoughtful, philosophic, pure, intriguing, engaging and yet magnanimous.

There is no human emotion that is left untouched or unspoken, as each character in this colourful, yet tragic Epic Poem is unique in his/her own-self. Each relationship is vividly expressed, yet exists on a complex note.

It has been commented by eminent Indian critics that the Epic embodies every relationship, emotion, circumstance which a human being can experience in one's lifetime and it is a great teaching/learning fountain of reference  which holds good even present day.

The history of culmination of this historical text, presents to the reader a "conglomeration of ideas" - beginning from the earliest phase of Indian civilisation and includes the Vedic Philosophy, the Post-Vedic, the Upanishadic thoughts upto the Puranic narratives. 

All these developments formulating the essence of Indian Philosophy constitute the Bhagwad Gita. It entails Lord Krishna's revelation of his divine nature to Arjun. As a consequence, Arjun is able to decide upon a course of action that was any way rendered inevitable by the complex sequence of events. Lord Krishna counsels Arjun on the mandates of "Dharma" (meaning "righteous way of Living Human Life") and the necessity of action, finally relieving Arjun of his emotional dilemma of combating the "Kauravs" which included his cousins, his teachers and various erst-while friends and relatives in the Epic War, most of whom he had great regard for.

The Mahabharat dramatizes Arjun's worries and emotions and makes him see the fine difference between moral and ritual ethics through the teachings of the Bhagwad Gita.

This blend of the Bhagwad Gita and the Mahabharat is evocative of the interconnectedness within the universal cosmology as both the divine and the human worlds tend to co-interact.

In the Epic, there is violence in both domains, emotional turbulence in the form of conspiracy of Duryodhan (the Kaurav clan leader and eldest brother out of 100 siblings) and his maternal uncle Shakuni, deceit, hatred (for the Pandavs) and victimisation of the righteous Pandavs.

The position of Draupadi within the Epic is a complex one, on the one hand, she suffered relentlessly, while on the other hand, she was a woman with a mind of her own, assertive and unflinching.

The Mahabharat operates on the concept of power, state and kingdomhood which is intricately tied to matters of inheritance and lineage.

As the inevitability of fate determines events, in this duel between Karn and Arjun, Ghatotkach (the son of Bhim - one of the Pandav brothers and Hidimba) falls prey to Karn's attack from the infallible weapon blessed and given to him by the King off the Gods Indra, thereby sacrificing his own life for Arjun, as the weapon was originally procured by Karn to kill Arjun in battle. Ghatotkach was of bold built, exemplifying a "ghatam" (clay pot) and sacrificed his life for his uncle Arjun.

 The "Lakshagriha" ("House of Lacquer") episode was the result of Duryodhan's wrath and hatred for the Pandavs. He set an evil trap to burn the Pandav brothers to death, but the Pandavs managed to escape through a secret tunnel, thanks to Vidur's prior warning to Yudhishthir.

 The Mahabharat explores the role of cosmology which are best illustrated by the characters of Bhishma and Shikhandi. Their encounter with each other in two different cycles of birth and re-birth was determined and based on the concept of revenge and fate. Having known that Bhism's ethical principles would prevent him from confronting/combating a woman in the battle-field, Arjun uses Shikhandi as a shield to defeat the mighty warrior Bhishm.

 Interestingly, the Mahabharat apart from being a "Mahakavya" (Epic Poem) narrating the great war, it is also a "bildungsroman" ("Bildung" meaning "education" and "roman" means " novel" or a "Novel of education, culture, morals etc.") ,a "narrative which traces the development of a protagonist's character from childhood to maturity through varied experiences". As we see in the Epic, the life and times of the Pandavs and Kauravs tell their stories since their childhood to their growth as skilful warriors.

 War entails no peace, instead punctures a human being's consciousness to the extent that its destruction of life and property hauntshim throughout.

The Epic as it is marked by its multi-layered characteristics unfolds its events within the paradigm of human fate and destiny, its magnanimity  in the course of time has anchored it to eternity.

 The relevance of the Mahabharat endures to the present day: 

 Even in modern times, adaptations of the Mahabharat have taken place in different regional languages.

It has been interpreted and re-interpreted, not only in India but in several nations across the world.

The charm of this Epic has cast a spell  across time and space, as different parts of the Indian Sub-continent adopted and adapted the narrative, wholly or in parts, to suil their cultural identities.  Almost every State in India has some relics dedicated to an episode from the great Epic. The spatial vastness of this poem, eventually is a spread of civilisation and the related conflicts, manifest today in different architectural, scriptural, folk craft and other forms of expressions.

 Mahabharat is an Epic that has permeated life and culture far beyond the Indian sub-continent. In India, facets of the Epic appear in song, dance, film, literature, painting, sculpture and everyday conversation.

 The set of 18 Commemorative Stamps depicting the Mahabharat issued by India Post:

 These 18 stamps depict but a few glimpses of the art forms which continue to influence and mould life, learning and politics. This set of stamps contains a selection of works which depict the Mahabharat from different parts of the country.
  The Sheetlet of all the 18 stamps issued in the set is titled "Mahabharat"

 Interestingly, the stamps in the Sheetlet have been placed proceeding from left to right in each row in the following order:

The Rs.100/- stamp shows Lord Krishna in his "Viraat Form" ("Cosmic" Form) encompassing the entire Universe with the Belligerent forces of the Kauravs and the Pandavs arrayed against one another in battle formation

 The cosmic form of the creator is in traditional Rajasthani "Pichwai" style as seen in the large top stamp (Stamp no. 1 in the Sheetlet). 
This Rs.25/- stamp shows Yudhisthir, the eldest Pandav brother, crowned as King with Draupadi as the Queen of Hastinapur, after the Pandav armies were victorious in battle against the Kaurav armies - a crown which was his in the first place. His four brothers are shown in attendance at his court

 Raja Ravi Verma the world-renowned painter has brought his own distinct style to the Royal depiction of the five Pandav brothers with Draupadi (Stamp no. 4 in the Sheetlet).
Draupadi appears as a "leather shadow puppet" from Andhra-Karnataka region (Stamp no. 5 in the Sheetlet) on this stamp of 1,500 Paise or Rs.15/-


 An illustration of the Pandavs with Draupadi during their period of exile from the "Patachitra" folk scroll painting from Bengal-Bihar region is seen on the next stamp (Stamp no. 9 in the Sheetlet) on this stamp of 1,500 Paise or Rs.15/-

 Miniature paintings in the Mughal style illustrate their translations into Persian (In Stamp nos. 10 and 13 in the Sheetlet: 

 There is an illustration from the "Bhagvat Puranam" wherein the Kauravs confer at Hastinapur, as Bhishm, Dhritrashtra, and Vidur try to avert war with the Pandavs on Stamp no. 10 of 2,500 Paise or Rs.25/-


Stamp no. 13 is of 2,500 Paise and is an illustration from the Razmnama, depicting Bhishm on a bed of arrows, awaiting for an auspicious time to leave his mortal body.

 Hindu and Jain manuscripts represented in water colour styles of Northern India can be seen in  two stamps (Stamp No. 16 & 17 in the Sheetlet):
Stamp no. 16 is an illustration from the 1540 Bhagvat Puranam manuscript depicting a vital battle during the great war. This stamp of 1,500 Paise or Rs.15/-, depicts the fierce battle between Ghatotkach and Karn's forces.

 In this battle, Karn used his most powerful weapon to subjugate and kill Ghatotkach as seen on Stamp No. 17 of 1,500 Paise orRs.15/- given below:

 The sculptures in chiseled stone at Halebidu depict Arjun at the "Svayamvar" in which he used his bow skilfully to win Draupadi's hand in marriage (Stamp no. 7 in the Sheetlet) and the "Chakravyuh" in which Arjun's son Abhimanyu was killed in the great war (Stamp no. 12 in the Sheetlet):
This 2,500 Paise or Rs.25/- Stamp shows a stone sculpture of Arjun with a bow, winning the hand of Draupadi in marriage by piercing a rotating fish mechanism on the ceiling while looking at its reflection in a water bowl below (Stamp No. 7 in the Sheetlet)

 In this Stamp of 1,500 Paise or Rs.15/- below, Abhimanyu is seen entering the "Chakravyuh" (a type of battle-field setting which only a few skilful warriors like Arjun, his father, could emerge from), but he is encircled and killed by the Kaurav army:
It is said that he had to enter the "Chakravyuh" battle-field because his father Arjun had to go somewhere on an express matter and Abhimanyu took his place instead as the leader of the Pandav armies for the day. He only knew how to enter  the Chakravyuh, but had not learnt how to exit it, hence he got trapped and killed by his enemies.

 There is a battle scene showing Arjun as a skilful archer (Stamp no. 14 in the Sheetlet) and Arjun's penance to earn the boon of divine weapons as seen on a sculpture at Mahaballipuram (Stamp No. 8 in the Sheetlet):
Arjun is seen as a skilful archer in the above stamp (Stamp No. 14) of 1,500 Paise or Rs.15/-

 This Rs.15/- stamp shows a rock sculpture from Mahabalipuram depicting Arjun's penance ( in the first quadrant), Gods depicted as air-borne/in flight (in the second quadrant), Arjun's chariot in the third quadrant and an elephant in the fourth quadrant


 Kalamkari artists of Andhra Pradesh use fabric to paint scenes from the epics (seen in Stamp no. 18 of the Sheetlet):
Krishna is seen as Arjun's Charioteer in this beautiful stamp of Rs.50/- or 5,000 Paise which is placed as Stamp No. 18 on the sheetlet
The birth of Karna to his mother Kunti who is being blessed by "Surya" (the Sun), who is Karna's father is seen in this stamp of 1,500 Paise or Rs.15/-

The conditions were that if they were recognised in "Agyatvaas", they will have to undergo another exile for 14 years

A scene in this stamp of 1,500 Paise or Rs.15/- depicts Krishna with the "Sudarshan Chakra". After slaying the target, the Sudarshan Chakra would return to Krishna
Arjun firing the "fire arrow" or an "explosive missile" which would reign hell-fire on the enemy troops in this stamp of 1,500 Paise or Rs.15/-
