AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Why did Draupadi have to go through such humiliation? Why did Sri Krishna let it happen😠? 

Because the entire Kuru clan had to be destroyed. Draupadi was not only born to be an empress or a samragyi she was born with a purpose, she was incarnation of Kali and she was born to destroy the kuru clan and establish Dharma and she knew it.

She understands that eventually the great unfolding will be done. She has the last laugh in the end. But without this event it would have been impossible to tilt the balance definitively on the side of the Pandavas.

Affectionately,

Either we have dreams, or we have facts, two different order of realities🤔.

To think of the language of Savitri, it feels like Sri Aurobindo has stretched the bounds of the finite to the utmost, by capturing the
