Hopes and prayers to unknown god for rescue of innocent kids from gun violence

The inspiration for this animation came when I visited a temple of Bobdi Ma ( Stuttering goddess ) in India where lots of parents with autistic kids came to pray for their children so that they can speak! In the background, there is my warrior painting where a warrior is taking blessings from relatives before going to war, even though he is going to kill people and may die. Ma is giving blessings that no matter what happens in life you have to fight it out and try to survive. This message is from the Indian epic “Gita” the work Deals with issues of faith and blind faith!
