Anand Invites Homer and Ved Vyasa to a Candle-Light Dinner

In the Epilogue, the poet takes note of this grave injustice done to the greatest beauty of all times: I have a feeling although the history Extols Helen's beauty, It denies her individuality and personal will, Which we see imparted to Cleopatra, And other great women of epics Like Draupadi and Sita of Ramayana.

'From Siege to Salvation', the latest epic drama by Dr. Jernail Singh Anand, is a landmark achievement in comparative literature. Dr. Anand successfully captures the magic of the War of Troy and the spiritual brilliance of Mahabharata. According to Dr. Anand, "the siege of Troy led to the exhibition of great personal valour and national honorifics, while the Mahabharata shows us the way to immortality through righteous action". Homer's 'Illiad' and 'Odyssey' mark the beginning of the great European literature, while Mahabharata epitomises the Indian cultural tradition of spirituality which revolves around Lord Krishna's 'Bhagwad Gita'.
