The Yoga of Arjuna's Despair

The Pandava ceremony concludes with Drupada (elder warrior), Draupadi's sons, and young Abhimanyu blowing their conches 'pṛthak pṛthak'—each separately. Though united in purpose, each voice stays distinct. This teaches that true unity isn't uniformity; it's aligned diversity where individual contributions matter. But there's deep poignancy: we're hearing voices that will soon be silenced. Abhimanyu and Draupadi's sons will all die in this war. Their conches blow NOW, but not for long. This urgency asks: will you contribute your unique voice while you can?
