Karna the Emperor offers a bold re-visioning of the Mahabharata through verse and reflective prose. With lyrical depth and spiritual insight, Dr. BelavadiK Prabhakar restores dignity to one of epic India's most misunderstood heroes. This work is not a retelling—it is a resurrection.
Dr. Belavadi K Prabhakar is a chemistry professor by vocation and a poet by spirit — blending scientific clarity with symbolic depth. Rooted in Kannada heritage and nurtured by bilingual expression, his work fuses mythology, mandala structures, and philosophical inquiry into visual and lyrical storytelling.
He explores poetry not as polished certainty, but as fraf — a space of sacred incompletion, graceful dispersal, and soul-echoes. His signature verse and illustrations evoke spiritual resilience, ecological interconnectedness, and the quiet dignity of forgotten heroes.
Karna The Emperor, is his offering to every reader seeking poetry in dharma, philosophy in silence, and truth in the unseen.
