Shabari – dance drama MSDC
Shabari And The Sage Matanga
Shabari was wandering in the forest and being hungry, she approached the hermitage of Sage Mathanga asking for food. At the first sight of this humble lady, sage Mathanga realized that she was a great soul. Therefore, he invited her to stay in the ashram engaging herself in the service of the community there. Shabari was more than pleased to take up the tasks of cleaning and housekeeping at the ashram. She was greatly devoted to sage Mathanga and was rendering a selfless service to him with a great sense of devotion and dedication.
By nature, forests are rugged in their surface. It is quite natural to find stones, pebbles, twigs, dry leaves and thorns all around. Every day, the sage used a particular route to reach the river nearby to complete his morning ablutions.
Shabari deemed maintaining this route in a perfect way free of thorns and pebbles as her top priority. In order to see that the road is free of thorns, she used to lie down and roll on the way so that the thorns prick on her body and are removed so that the sage’s feet are not hurt.
