In the Mahabharata, many people speak to Krishna. Only one is his sakhi, his friend: the woman born from fire who stood alone in a hall full of kings.
Krishna-Draupadi Samvad is a hundred imagined conversations in rhymed couplets between the two, from her birth at the altar to her last walk in the snow. In every poem Draupadi speaks first, and Krishna answers as friend, philosopher and guide, in the manner of the Gita: he names the feeling before the doctrine, concedes where the question is hard, and offers no comfort that would be dishonest.
Ten movements follow ten questions: what a person owes to what was done to her, whether anger is a sin or a fuel, why an all-seeing friend did not stop the night, how to live after the war, and what remains of a friendship at the end. Each movement closes with a verse from the Gita and a small daily practice.
A companion to Krishna-Karna Samvad, where Krishna speaks to the man who lost; here he speaks to the woman who was wronged.
