Book Description
Shakuntala Recognized is a translation of the Sanskrit play, Abhijyanashakuntalam, by the great poet and playwright Kalidasa. As a poet of mellifluous charm and as a master of Simile, he indulged in Sringara Rasa (Eros)—the sensuous aspects of human condition. This play is perhaps his most powerful expression of that sensuality. Extolled by Goethe, and German Romanticists and others, the play uniquely weaves a magical fabric of life with the threads of human frailties and tragedies. The plot for this play is based on a tale in the Indian epic Mahaabhaarata. The tale depicts how India came to be called Bharatavarsha or Bharat, a name that is still official in the Indian languages.

Aryaa
Author: Shivakumar GV
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
She chose the life of a warrior, leading from the front, protecting her ancestral kingdom. She waded through treacherous destiny. Her uncompromising love restored her husband back to glory. She lived in a hermitage, chose a king as husband, and challenged his dharma in open sabha- a mother who shaped an emperor who reshaped the civilization. She watched the play of beauty and destruction from afar. When she took centre stage, she nurtured the future to find its feet. She was regal and virtuous. She embarked on a divine mission, and chose an incredible destiny and groom for herself. She, a fisherwoman, rose to rule an empire, navigating challenges and making tough decisions with her steely resolve. She led her life on her own terms, choosing to stay on the sidelines but shaping life at the centre. She courageously pursued truth, unafraid to challenge the greatest scholars on metaphysics. An inspiration to seekers of all times. She was the wind beneath her husband’s wings. When he pursued the ultimate truth, she too walked the unyielding path. She sought an improbable marriage. Her penance and devotion won her heaven, and for her husband too. She has many faces, different roles in different times, embodying the essence of a great tradition. She carved a niche, charted her own path but upheld Dharma at all times. She is Aryaa - the glorious woman of Bharatavarsha - manifestation of the eternally present Shakti.

Midlife Transformation in Literature and Film
Author: Steven F. Walker
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136581545
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
In this book, Steven F. Walker considers the midlife transition from a Jungian and Eriksonian perspective, by providing vivid and powerful literary and cinematic examples that illustrate the psychological theories in a clear and entertaining way. For C.G. Jung, midlife is a time for personal transformation, when the values of youth are replaced by a different set of values, and when the need to succeed in the world gives place to the desire to participate more in the culture of one’s age and to further its development in all kinds of different ways. Erik Erikson saw "generativity," an expanded concern for others beyond one's immediate circle of family and friends, as the hallmark of this stage of life. Both psychologists saw it as a time for growth and renewal. Literary texts such Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway, Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, or Sophocles' Oedipus the King, and films such as Fellini's 8 1⁄2 and Campion's The Piano, have the capacity to represent, sometimes more vividly and with greater dramatic concentration than actual life histories or case studies, the archetypal nature of the drama and in-depth transformation associated with the midlife transition. Midlife Transformation in Literature and Film focuses on the specific male and female archetypal paradigms and presents them within the general context of midlife transformation. For men, the theme of death of the young hero presides over the crisis and the transformative ordeal, whereas for women the theme of tragic abandonment acts as the prelude to further growth and independence. This book is essential reading for anyone studying Jung, Erikson, or the midlife transition. It will interest those who have already been through a midlife transition, those who are in the midst of one, as well as those who are yet to experience this challenging period.

The Doctor and Mrs. A.
Author: Sarah Pinto
Publisher: Fordham University Press
ISBN: 0823286681
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
Just before India’s independence, a young Punjabi woman, ill at ease in her marriage and eager for personal and national freedom, sat down with psychiatrist Dev Satya Nand for an experiment in his new method of dream analysis. The published analysis documents a surge of emotion and reflections on sexuality, gender, marriage, ambition, trauma, and art. “Mrs. A.” (as she is known) turned to female figures from Hindu myth to reimagine her social world and its ethical arrangements, envisioning a future beyond marriage, colonial rule, and gendered constraints. This book explores the conversation between Mrs. A. and Satya Nand, its window onto gender and sexuality in late colonial Indian society, and the ways Mrs. A. put ethics in motion, creating alternatives to ideals of belonging, recognition, and consciousness. It finds in Mrs. A.’s musings repertoires for the creative transformation of ideals and explores the possibilities of thinking with a dynamic concept of counter-ethics. An unconventional history of gender and sexuality in late colonialism, this book reminds us that the west did not invent feminism, that psychiatry’s history of innovation and creativity is global, and that ethical thinking does not need to center on western myths or paradigms.
