KAMADEVA : THE GOD OF DESIRE 1 Aug, 2014

by Anuja Chandramouli

( 26 )

₹ 226.12

Kamadeva, the charming wielder of the sugarcane bow and the flower-tipped arrows, born out of the wellspring of Brahma’s latent passion, has for long remained an enigma. This enthralling story of the God of Desire explores his many wondrous adventures, as well as his heady romance with Rati, his chief consort.
Best friends with Indra, the King of the Gods; tutor to the Apsaras in the art of lovemaking, Kamadeva lives a dream life in the magnificent Kingdom of Amaravathi—until danger strikes when he incurs the wrath of Shiva because of a preordained curse. Follow Kama as he hurtles towards his destiny and the Destroyer’s dreaded third eye. Find out if he will rise from the ashes to reign supreme as the King of Hearts or if he will be doomed to spend an eternity as Ananga—the bodiless one.
In Kamadeva: The God of Desire, the author masterfully marries imagination with stellar research to bring to vivid life one of the most intriguing Gods of the Hindu pantheon. Laced with wit and narrated in contemporary flavour, Kamadeva will take you on a rollicking ride into the heart of desire and its tantalizing dark side.

Unravel the puzzle that is the mysterious and misunderstood son of Mahadeva—KARTIKEYA.
Kartikeya was born from the flames of a desperate need, an ardent desire, and an utmost devastation. In him was distilled the terrible powers of Mahadev, at its fiercest and most deadly. Although he fought many wars and slew many tyrants, yet his gifts to humanity have always been those of mercy, compassion and love. What makes this possible?
For Kartikeya, there have always been more questions than answers. Did he really walk away from his family over a piece of fruit? What about the women in his life—was he the ravisher he is at times accused of being, or the protector of women? Was he the violent warrior who revelled in bloodlust, or a gentle family man? What was his relationship with his more popular sibling, Ganesha?
Anuja Chandramouli weaves together myth, imagination and folklore while looking to answer these questions, and recreates for modern readers the story of one of the most enigmatic gods—Kartikeya.

When his father dies, Prince Jauna Khan succeeds to the throne of Delhi as Muhammad bin Tughlaq. His reign will prove to be epic and bloody, but unsurpassed in splendour, innovation and defeat.
A formidable strategist and remarkable scholar, the Sultan will go down in history for his brutality as well as his brilliance, unfairly remembered only as a cruel tyrant who might have been raving mad. His high-flown aspirations and grandiose ambitions may have met with crushing failure, but even so, Tughlaq was a great hero of the fourteenth century, albeit a tragic and fatally flawed one.
In this fictional retelling, Anuja Chandramouli, one of India's best mythology writers, reimagines Muhammad bin Tughlaq's life and times in incredible detail to bring to life the man behind the monarch.

MOHINI: THE ENCHANTRESS 5 Aug, 2020

by Anuja Chandramouli

( 111 )

₹ 226.12

Elusive as a fragment of a forgotten dream, fragile as a figment from fantasy, Mohini is perfection
made possible.
Distilled from the essence of Vishnu, Mohini the Enchantress is a part of him and yet she revels
in the autonomy and extraordinary powers of beauty, magic and enchantment that are hers to
wield. She is loved and desired by all in existence and yet, she is elusive—a tantalizing temptress,
traipsing her way across the topsy-turvy terrain of fable and myth.
Mohini’s meandering path will see her in the thick of things as the Devas and Asuras try to get
their hands on Amrita—the nectar of immortality, blunder into a love triangle that will spark a
bloody war, fulfil the last wish of a dead hero, and traipse into a romantic tryst with Mahadeva.
She also becomes the mother of Shastha, a beacon of hope for all who are considered oddities by
a spiteful society that recognizes only two genders.
Set against the tumult and intrigue of a celestial quest for immortality, Anuja Chandramouli brings
the extraordinary saga of Mohini to vivid life. She takes the reader on a dizzying ride through
the shifting sands of time, expertly navigating the quagmire of gender, love, lust and desire, deftly
untangling the threads of tall tales and terrible truths, while spinning a deliciously entertaining
yarn for the ages.

As Yama's Lieutenant, Agni Prakash, has diligently been tracking down demons and spirits that threaten peace on earth and dispatching them to his lord's thousand hells. Danger is a constant in his job, but this time an apocalypse threatens his entire world. Agni must go up against a terrifying sorceress-adept in the ancient art of stone magic-and her bestial army of demoniacal creatures who used to be humans before they were transformed into willing killing machines. The witch has a nightmarish vision for a new world that involves large scale culling of the humans-and it falls to Agni to stop her. He must find the Samayakalas, the mysterious keepers of time, and reset the clock before all life is destroyed. However, any contact with the Samayakalas is forbidden to mortal and immortal alike, and those who flout the ancient decree risk incurring punishment far worse than death.
The price asked of him is an impossible one, but Yama's Lieutenant does not have a choice. Enlisting the help of old friends, he must submit to being borne across an ocean of death and destruction to find the Samayakalas before darkness engulfs them all.
