Based on chapter 11 of the Sanskrit Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita, Obama reincarnates as Krishna, an avatar of Vishnu and shows his Vishvarupa (Universal Form) of Arjuna (an American Eagle) on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. He is wearing a United Nations IAEA button, an AIDS ribbon and the new redesigned radioactive warning signs. Mutated fish with three eyes and frog legs attack Obama while he is trying, with his numerous arms, to catch all of the nuclear missiles coming from around the world, including the Pakistanian Ghauri nuclear missile, the Indian Agni III missile, the North Korean Taepodong missile, the Russian R-36/ SS-9 SCARP missile, the American Minuteman III, the British Trident II, the French M45 SLBM, and the Chinese Dongfeng missile. Obama takes all the nuclear weapons, and then turns the Odharma wheel.

The backdrop is beautiful scenery of the conflicted Kashmir region: Chitta Katha Lake in

Shonter Valley of Azad Kashmir, Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh Monastery India.

On the ground barrels are leaking radioactive waste and a mutant lamb with five legs is standing

in the toxic green spill. Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is holding an oil lamp with

Vladimir Putin as the Genie giant. Other elements include a found protest portrait of Indian

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as an animal with George W Bush; the Iranian Grand

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and a Benazir Bhutto’s shrine, North Korean Kim Jong Il, the Ryugyong

Hotel with a huge Camel Spider climbing it and the Taj Mahal and a Fat Man gravity bomb.
