Soft cover. Condizione: New. Everyone knows the epic story of the Devi killing Mahishaasura. Mahishaa's fault was that he was not prepared to fit into a conformist box. So, this cannot be a classic Good vs Evil tale. In the middle of the city, there was a dilapidated Kaali temple. Its condition was so because both the devotees and the priests were alien to love, although this was supposed to be the primary concept in places of worship. It was at such a time that a devotee decided to return the temple to its traditional practices of worship. This is accomplished in a pact with Kaali by the devotee becoming Mahishaasuramardini's Mahishaa. What happens next is a marvellous cascade, flowing from the pen of poet Lakshmi Bayi.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. The key figures in this book are the author's uncle and grandmother. They are Sree Padmanabha Dasa Maharaja Sree Chithira Thirunal Rama Varma and his mother Maharani Setu Parvathi Bayi. However, this saga is not only about them or the royal family. It highlights how, as rulers, they looked upon the millions of people of their kingdom as their own family and how, in turn, the people showered respect and devotion on them. This work strives to encompass a decisive period of Travancore's significant history, its rulers and royalty of the period under survey. It includes the cyclonic changes that swept across India, particularly affecting its hundreds of monarchies and the ancient identities of many domains, with focus on fair Travancore. It covers a formidable canvas of time, starting even before the births of the two royal cousins, Maharanies Setu Lakshmi Bayi (who later became the Regent) and Setu Parvathi Bayi (who became the mother of a Maharaja), to the time Sree Chithira Thirunal moves on to the feet of Sree Padmanabha Swamy, his adored God and Master. The attempt has been made to bring in the times of trial he and his mother's branch of the family underwent during the years he was the Maharaja in minority. It also reflects the years of pre and post-monarchy rule and thereafter. The triumph and trauma in the private and public lives of these illustrious personalities, and their own bouquets and brickbats, all find a place here. Personal memoirs of many family members, who can be considered as 'living records', command the space of the second section of this volume. The effort has been to focus on at least part of what has remained an untold storyto no longer sanction silence, to liberate a part of history which has been misrepresented at times, to put the record straight to some extent possible and intentionally avoid some highly sensitive areas. This effort has translated in words as History Liberated, as parchment of an era. Interesting, informative, intriguing and explosive a saga in royal hues unfolds.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Mahishaa is a profound retelling of the ancient myth of Mahishasura and the Goddess Mahishasuramardini. Steeped in rich poetic language, the narrative explores the deeper layers of human emotions, love, and the complex nature of existence. Lakshmi Bayi weaves a tale where good and evil are not absolutes but are instead shades of grey in a divine interplay.The story revolves around Mahishasura, the mighty demon king, and his tumultuous relationship with the Goddess Durga. Far from being a simple battle of divine justice, their connection is painted as one of tragic love, where the demon's unrequited passion for the Goddess is as powerful as his defiance. The Goddess, bound by duty but touched by love, is forced to annihilate her lover in a struggle that transcends life, death, and morality.Through this deeply poetic and evocative narrative, the author delves into themes of power, duty, and love, inviting readers to question the conventional notions of good versus evil, and the true nature of divine justice. Mahishaa is a meditation on love, loss, and the eternal dance of life and death, set against the backdrop of ancient Indian mythology.Perfect for readers interested in mythology, spirituality, and the complexity of divine relationships, Mahishaa offers a fresh and introspective take on one of the most celebrated legends in Indian culture.
