Book review of Aksara Bhagavad Gita: Imperishable Bhagavad Gita by Haribakth Rao and Vaishnavi Rao
For me, Sitayana was a phenomenal experience. Book review of Sitayana by Rajnih Rethesh
I’ve been a huge fan of mythological fiction ever since I came across this genre. They have some deep meaning and they engrave different possibilities of all kinds. They make me want to explore all the nuances involved so that I can learn about ancient people, epics, wars, and cultures. This book is a retelling of Mahabharata as narrated by Lord Krishna himself. The symbolization of Vishnu in the form of a narrator marks a very good beginning to the book. And the author has justified the things thoroughly with the help of witty writing style along with contemporary storytelling. The writing style incorporated is very good along with a nonchalant flow of narrative that makes it quite compelling and easy to finish it quickly. Also, the presentation of each minor detail in a vague manner makes the pace quite good. Mithilesh’s ‘Supercop of Aryavrat’ felt like an autobiography, told by the Lord himself as he reminisces the various instruments and instances of his past life. The greatest testimonial proof and embodiment is the great war of Mahabharata. The insurmountable level of the scale of this war spans over the whole world itself. No wonder it’s been called the greatest battle of all time, the greatest of epics. The only drawback I felt was the inconsistency of the facts written here. I felt the writer modified & used them as per his own whim without paying many deeds to the actual reality of what happened exactly in the past. So I felt the overall portrayal was a tad bit biased. Additionally, Lord Krishna and other great warriors have been portrayed a bit sexually in the form of perverted beings which kind of irked me and it kind of irked me. Do I recommend this book? Overall, it was quite an interesting read and can be read once. My Rating: 3/5 stars . . . . . Love reading mythology books? Then, also read: God Chronicles- Of Swarga Also, do let us know in the comments below about your favorite mythology book. Happy Reading 🙂
Publication: Rupa Publications Page Count: 208 What do I think of this retelling of Greek Myths? A Wonder Book For Girls and Boys is essentially an Anthology of short stories based on Greek Myths. It features the well-known Greek characters of Medusa, King Midas, Pandora, Hercules, Pegasus etc. Nathaniel has very cleverly woven these myths into lovely stories adding his own special touch. As they are written as a narration by the 18-year-old Eustace Bright to the children of Tanglewood, he can get away with poetic license or rather what I would call the mythological license. Do I recommend it? Somehow, felt quite appropriate to read this book on the occasion of Children’s Day. It was like being transported straight back to my childhood Gulmohar Days. I thoroughly enjoyed this bit of a blast from the past and immediately recommended it to my Kid who is currently enjoying it. Now need I say more? It’s a 5 out of 5 stars read. .  .  .  .  . About the Author Nathaniel Hawthorne Nathaniel Hawthorne was born in 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts, and is known as one of the best fiction writers of America. He was a master of prose style, especially of allegorical and symbolic tales, and this is clearly reflected in the characters he crafted and the psychological depths he imbued them with. In his sketches, tales and romances, Hawthorne drew especially upon the history of colonial New England, and Salem during the time of his early American ancestors. However, as a struggling writer during his lifetime, he had to resort to working as a customs officer in Boston and serving as the US consul in Liverpool, Lancashire. He is known best for The Scarlet Letter (1850) and The House of the Seven Gables (1851). .  .  .  .  . Loved the review? Then, don’t forget to share it with friends who love books and trust me when I say, to everyone who shares this post, may your crush marry you someday.
Indian mythology believes that after death there is either SWARGA or NARKA, so we all wonder what SWARGA will be like…is it the same as earth or something beyond our imagination. How gods we worship live in Swarga? Do they have conflicts or it is all just tranquil? The Author, Ranjit More in God Chronicles takes us to the mythology world of Swarga where Indra is ruling with one absolute rule that no one should cross Line of safety. Crossing a mysterious line of safety leads to a penalty as death or ex-communication. But why? Does this rule is for the safety of goods or own convenience?. All of sudden Kratu – general supreme of Swarga, faces betrayal by king Indra. From one of the powerful of Swarga, lover of apsara-Menaka suddenly Kratu becomes nobody. All he is left is to find the truth of ‘Line of safety‘ or die mercilessly in Swarga politics. Somehow if he is unable to find the truth, then Swarga might end with the lower world. Will he be able to find the truth or fate has stored something else for him? My favorite character in ‘God Chronicles‘ will be Kratu for obvious reasons. The story revolves around him and the reader experiences his character growing from a loyal employee to a survivor of Swarga politics, a merciless fighter. But I would have appreciated if his personal life and love interest could have been elaborated little more to get invested with his character in depth. The latter half of the book becomes a little tedious as connecting with ancient names and characters becomes difficult. Also, I felt that it was a bit stretched. For this mysterious mythology novel, I will rate 3 out of 5 stars as it has a different concept. .  .  .  .  . I hope you like my review of ‘God chronicles‘ by Ranjit More and well, if you really did, then please share it na. Also, do let me know in the comments if you want me to review some specific book or write a book recommendation list and I, for sure will try to do that. Happy Reading 🙂
Ambuj by Anita Shirodkar This year, unlike last, has been pretty good in reading. I got an opportunity to read some amazing books from Indian authors. Authors like Anita Shirodkar, whose book Ambuj is a book 3 in the trilogy GUARDIANS OF THE BLUE LOTUS. I was initially confused about the story as I hadn’t read the previous two books. Fortunately, as it turns out that there was a quick summary of the previous two books at the beginning of the book, which really helped me understand the concept of this book well. Though, I gotta read it’s previous two books. I must say I was mighty impressed with how the author created every part of the story. From the execution of the story to the characters and the narration. I wish I had a chance of reading the previous two books of the trilogy. Anita’s book Ambuj is a fast-paced thrill ride. You will be sucked in the vortex of the twist and turns the story takes. Simply amazing. Though you have to keep tabs of the several characters this book has. The author has artfully weaved the story with elements of love, adventure, politics in a beautifully imagined world, with an air of mystery surrounding it. The narrative is brilliantly done, amalgamating various parts of the story smoothly. The language was easy to understand and crisp and lucid. The vividness of the story doesn’t fail to impress its readers. And the characters are brilliantly thought of and executed by the author. Each character has a trait that defines his personality in rather an impressive way. What I didn’t like about the book was its size. It was a bit stretched for my liking. Overall an amazing read. A must-read for people who like to read Indian fictional mythology and fantasy. It’s a 4 out of 5 stars read for me!
