Great......

i am looking for artists who work on indo iranian thoughts of upanishad and iranian gathas- but i dont know if there are any pieces of art that show their relation and the sanskrit/avestan language used to it- i 'd be glad if someone could help me

I am doing a play on Dara Shukoh who had done the translation of Upanishads into Persian.

Thanks to you we got to read Bairagi. The word is almost obsolete these days. There are babas now but no sant or bairagi
