Catalogue Note
"If the radiance of a thousand suns
Were to burst into the sky,
That would be like
The splendour of the Mighty One
I become Death, the shatterer of the world."
An excerpt The Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 12, Section 12&32 , 2nd BCE.

J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967), commonly referred to as the father of the atomic bomb, was reminded of The Bhagavad Gita as he stood in the control room watching the explosion of the first atomic bomb in Los Alamos, New Mexico on 16 July 1945.
