Résumé

Author's notes about the play

The Tamil language should prosper, and should spread all over the world like English. Original works should be written in Tamil and these should be translated into other languages and catch the foreigners by surprise. For a language to grow, poetry and drama are the two essential literary tools which should be developed. English language was immortalised by the works of poets like Shakespeare, Milton, Shelley and Byron. The literary fame of French spread the world over due to dramatists like Victor Hugo. German language was enriched by the poets of the ilk of Goethe. Goethe came to know of Sanskrit mainly due to Kalidasa's Shakuntala. From the charming Shakuntala, Goethe described a flower of spring. All the above poets dramatised their works in verse form. The English plays consist of free style verses, but the French and German plays are written in rhyming meters. Even a boy of fifteen years of age learns those plays well. The western world is very appreciative of poetic dramas; for, of all the literary forms, the versified drama is easily the best (A popular Sanskrit adage about Kalidasa's play says: Kavyeshu Natakam Ramyam Tatra Ramya Shakuntala; among the literary forms drama is most charming and among the dramas Shakuntala).

Editor's Notes

There are several flowers and fruits in the literary grove of Shuddhananda Bharati that attract attention. The chariot of life, this steady stream, this carousel continues to turn, like a ride... with the sound of music boxes in the street... joys, suffering without names... In this play, all roles in the evolution coexist to achieve Jyoti, the clarity, the light of freedom, peace and serenity radiating within Self.

Rotating carousel... forward for a carousel ride.

It is a real pleasure for me to present Chariot of Life to you. We have much to learn from this wonderful text! Thank you to Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati for having transmitted Chariot of Life to us. With the blessing of Aum Shuddha Shakti Aum.
