Suhani Dhanki Instagram – In adversity, we seldom seek strength, power and peace within… Draupadi asks Krishna, ‘Sakha… what took you so long to come to my aid?’ to which Krishna replied, ‘Sakhi you called out to Giridhar, Gopala, Govinda, Mukunda etc… But I was with you all along… All you had to do was meditate on Manmohana, the Krishna that resides within you..’ I learnt of this profound dialogue from my Guruji and Atul Tiwariji whilst performing Draupadi for an audio visual show of the Mahabharata being shown at Jyotisar Kurukshetra. Video from my first baithak abhinaya performance dancing to the music of the brilliant artists Vamshi ji, Prathap ji and Gnani ji for @nupurarts Swara Sandhya last year. Please forgive me for any mistakes as this was meant to be an improvised piece 🙏 Cover image by @simonphoto #bharatanatyam #indianclassicaldance #abhinaya #baithak #mahabharata #draupadi #krishna
