History

Born in Kanpur, India March 10, 1993

Named after the Heroine Draupadi of Hindu lore, one of the Panchakyana and wife of the 5 Pandavas by way of trickery. The Draupadi of lore is known as a strong woman of great virtue and strength teaching by her actions the respecting of women in her culture.

Lalita (Meaning Desired) was born in a simple middle caste family in Kanpur. Her mother a devoted Hindu named her daughter after her favorite heroine from the ancient writings. Her father is an accountant living day by day working for everything they have. One day it became apparent to Lalita's parents that there was something special about her, her mother attributed it to the divine nature of her given name, but her father suspected something more. From an early age Lalita showed exceptional intelligence and a mind that could reach out into the physical realm and into the minds of others.

Soon her abilities began to become known to the rest of her neighbors and then eventualy to the local spiritual leaders. They began to tax her abilities more and more feeling they where blessed by the universe for having her. She spent her life reading minds and bending spoons, a sad existance for a child.

Her father saw only one way out of her situation, he saved up the money to send her to the States to go to school and make a life there away from the society and her town. Now she lives in MC, trying to figure out how to live the rest of her life.

About Kanpur

Kanpur (Hindi: कानपुर, Urdu: کان پور), spelt as Cawnpore before 1948, is the ninth-most populous city in India and the largest within the state of Uttar Pradesh. It is the fifth-largest city of India in area and the second-most populous city of the Hindi-speaking belt, only after Delhi. It is one of the oldest industrial townships of North India. It has a metropolitan area of over 1,640 square kilometres (630 sq mi) and a city area of around 829 km2 with an approximate population of 5 million inhabitants.

About her Name-sake

In the epic Mahābhārata, Draupadi, also known as Kṛṣṇā draupadī (Devanagari: कृष्णा द्रौपदी; approximate pronunciation: [krɪʂɳaː d̪rəʊpəd̪iː]) is the "emerged" daughter of King Drupada of Panchāla and the wife of the five Pandavas. When Yudhisthira becomes the king of Hastinapura at the end of the war, Draupadi (again) becomes the queen of Indraprastha. She is also variously referred as Kṛṣṇā (or Krishnaa, meaning one of darker complexion), Panchali (meaning one from the kingdom of Panchāla), Yajnaseni (meaning one born from a Yajna or fire-sacrifice), Mahabhaartii (great wife of the five descendents of Bharata and Sairandhri (literally: an expert maid, her assumed name during her second exile in which she worked as Virat kingdom's queen Sudeshna's hair-stylist). She had five sons, one by each of the Pandavas: Prativindhya, Sutasoma, Shruthakeerti, Satanika, and Srutasena. She has been described in the Mahabharata to be extraordinarily beautiful- undefeated by any woman of her time in terms of beauty. She is one of the Panch-Kanya (The Five Virgins) of Ancient Hindu Mythology along with her mother in law Kunti.

What She Reads

The Literature regarded as central to the Vedic and Hindu literary tradition was originally predominantly composed in Sanskrit. Indeed, much of the morphology inherent in the learning of Sanskrit is inextricably linked to study of the Vedas and other early texts. Vedic literature is divided by tradition into two categories: Shruti – that which is heard (traditionally understood as revelation) and Smriti – that which is remembered (stemming from human authors, not revelation). The Vedas constituting the former category are considered sacred texts or scripture by many followers of Hindu religion. The post-Vedic scriptures form the latter category: the various shastras and the itihaasas, or histories in epic Sanskrit verse. Holding an ambiguous position between the Upanishads of the Vedas and the epics, the Bhagavad Gita is considered to be revered scripture by most Hindus today.
