Download or read book Bride of the Forest THE UNTOLD STORY OF YAYATI S DAUGHTER written by Madhavi Mahadevan and published by . This book was released on 2020-10 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description The myth of Drishadvati appears in the Mahabharata as the 'story of the salvation of kings by a maiden.' While tales of surrogacy abound in the Indian epics, this is the first known example of a womb-on-rent. This strange story-of a girl whose fertility was bartered repeatedly in exchange for priceless horses-has intrigued modern scholars, playwrights and authors for its cultural significance. While earlier adaptations have cast its theme as the exploitation of a helpless woman, Bride of the Forest presents it as the story of girl who is surprisingly radical in her ultimate rejection of patriarchy. Staying true to the original myths and springing entirely from the world of the Mahabharata, the novel brings to life several other characters: Garuda, the divine bird who flies Lord Vishnu around the world: the proud kings of Ayodhya, Pratisthan and Kashi; the arrogant queen, Devayani, and her duplicitous maid-whose stories reveal an intricate tapestry of human and divine relationships. Intertwined in the tales of traditional rivalries is the age-old war between the asuras and the devas that gave rise to the perennial male quest for immortality, transmuted into the human desire for sons that lies at the root of commercial surrogacy even today. However, it is the story of Drishadvati, her sacrifice and her nobility, that will enchant the reader.

Download or read book Eclipse of Dreams written by Kunneth Ramakrishnan and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-03-17 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written focussed on the interests of intelligent, hardworking and ambitious young men, young women and their parents. Overconfident, energetic and independent young people take impulsive decisions, oblivious of future consequences. All those who are born on this earth are entitled to enjoy a comfortable, dignified and healthy life. It does not happen always. Mainly because they are not groomed to achieve this objective, with realistic visions, life skills, attitudes and emotional stability. Most parents are preoccupied with day-to-day survival problems and social issues. They leave the task of grooming their children to teachers. Overcrowded educational institutions are in business mode in our free India. The Gurus are a demoralised and discriminated lot in the technology ridden and competitive employment market. Most young people, therefore, are forced to go through a trial and error approach to improve their lifestyle. Making a wrong decision is easy. Getting out of its clutches is complicated or even disastrous. Some of them surrender to defeats and get left out on the journey of life. Some of them challenges the challenges and come out victorious. But, by then a major part of their precious life would have already expired. “Eclipse of Dreams” deals with the battered life of a man, a living model, which might save some young people waiting to commit mistakes or take wrong decisions. It also throws light on some of the hidden and inappropriate social and political issues, for the young people of India to take on.
