Lanka's Princess 1 Dec, 2016

Surpanakha, Ravan’s famous sister. Ugly and untamed, brutal and brazen—this is often how she is commonly perceived. One whose nose was sliced off by an angry Lakshman and the one who started a war. But was she really just a perpetrator of war? Or was she a victim? Was she ‘Lanka’s princess’? Or was she the reason behind its destruction?

Surpanakha, which means the woman ‘as hard as nails’, was born as Meenakshi—the one with beautiful, fish-shaped eyes. She is often the most misunderstood character in the Ramayana. Growing up in the shadows of her brothers, who were destined to win wars, fame and prestige, she, instead, charted out a path filled with misery and revenge.

Accused of manipulating events between Ram and Ravan, which culminated into a bloody war and annihilation of her family, Kavita Kané’s Lanka’s Princess makes us see the familiar events unfold from the eyes of a woman more hated than hateful…

Karnas Wife: The Outcasts Queen tells the extraordinary story of Karna, the unsung hero of the Mahabharata, through the eyes of his wife Uruvi, bringing his story to the reader from a unique perspective. An accomplished Kshatriya princess who falls in love with and dares to choose the sutaputra over Arjun, Uruvi must come to terms with the social implications of her marriage and learn to use her love and intelligence to be accepted by Karna and his family. Though she becomes his mainstay, counselling and guiding him, his blind allegiance to Duryodhana is beyond her power to change. The story of Uruvi and Karna unfolds against the backdrop of the struggle between the Pandavas and the Kauravas. As events build up leading to the great war of the Mahabharata, Uruvi is a witness to the twists and turns of Karnas fate; and how it is inextricably linked to divine design. A splendid saga from the pages of the Mahabharata, Karnas Wife: The Outcasts Queen brings its characters alive in all their majesty.

Saraswati’s Gift 26 Jul, 2021

Sarasvati, the feminine force worshipped as the goddess of learning, is a household name, yet we barely know much about the goddess. She is known as a lost river and seen as a singular goddess, never as part of a couple, such as Shiva-Parvati or Lakshmi-Narayan. In Sarasvati's Gift, Kavita Kane brings to light Sarasvati's story-the goddess of art, music and knowledge-told in the voices of nameless celestials, powerful gods and lesser mortals. The book explores her relationship with her Creator, Brahma, and their unusual marriage-a union of fiercely independent minds and the most non-conforming, unconventional of the Triumvirate couples. As these peripheral figures and silent catalysts take centre stage, we get a glimpse of an extraordinary woman and her remarkable story, obscured and buried under myths and legends.

कुंती व सूर्य देव के संसर्ग से कर्ण का जन्म हुआ, जिसे उसकी माँ ने जन्म लेते ही त्याग दिया। वह राजकुमारों जैसे भाग्य का अधिकारी था परंतु उसे एक पिछड़ी जाति के सूत ने गोद लिया और वह उनमें से एक बना।
एक क्षत्रिय राजकुमारी उरुवी ने उसे अपने स्वयंवर में अर्जुन के स्थान पर चुना और यह एक बड़े सामाजिक विरोधाभास का विवाह था। उरुवी को कर्ण के परिवार की स्वीकृति पाने के लिए उसके प्रति अपने प्रेम और असीम बुद्धिमत्ता को प्रकट करना पड़ा। अंततः वह कर्ण की सहयोगी, परामर्शदाता और मार्गदर्शक बनी। हालाँकि, दुर्योधन के प्रति अंधनिष्ठा के कारण कर्ण का पतन हुआ, जिसे बदल पाना उरुवी के वश में नहीं था।
इस पुस्तक को उरुवी के दृष्टिकोण से लिखा गया है, और यह पांडवों व कौरवों के बीच हुए संघर्ष की पृष्ठभूमि की अनेक &#

Urmila: Sita ki Behan ki Gatha (Hindi Edition) 26 Feb, 2021

by Kavita Kane

( 17 )

₹ 257.25

विवाह में उर्मिला की अधिक रूचि नहीं थी लेकिन यह एक सामाजिक अनुशासन था जिसका पालन उसे भी करना होगा। वह विवाह करने की अपेक्षा ज्ञान अर्जन करना अधिक पसंद करेगी।

निश्चित रूप से रामायण का जिक्र होते ही हम सभी के मन में राम, सीता, लक्ष्मण, भरत, कौशल्या, रावण, मंदोदरी, यहां तक कि कैकेयी और मंथरा के चरित्र आते हैं।

लेकिन इस पुस्तक में वैसी परिकल्पना नहीं है... यह कहानी है उर्मिला की - सीता की बहन और इस महाकाव्य में सबसे उपेक्षित चरित्रों में से एक। जब सीता ने वनवास के लिए जाने की तैयारी की तो उसकी छोटी बहनें अयोध्या के उस अभिशप्त महल में ही रहीं। उनकी मुस्कुराहटें, आशाएं और आनंद एक ही झटके में तिरोहित हो गए।
परंतु अपार शक्ति और द़ृढ़ निश्चय वाली उर्मिला दुख और आंसुओं से भरी इस परिस्थिति में भ

Lanka ki Rajkumari (Hindi Edition) 13 Mar, 2020

हां, में राक्षसी हूं!' मीनाक्षी ने चीखकर कहा। उसकी आंखें चमक रही थीं। उसने अपनी माँ को नाखून दिखाते हुए कहा, 'इन्हें देखा है? यदि किसी ने मुझे चोट पहुंचाई तो मैं उसे अपने नाखून से घायल कर दूंगी। मैं शूर्पणखा हूं!' रावण की प्रसिद्द बहन शूर्पणखा को सामान्य तौर पर कुरूप, जंगली, निर्दयी और निज माना जाता है। लक्ष्मण ने क्रोधवश शूर्पणखा की नाक काट दी थी। शूर्पणखा ने युद्ध का आरंभ किया, परंतु क्या सचमुच वह युद्ध आरंभ करने की दोषी थी? अथवा वह केवल परिस्तिथियों की शिकार थी? वह 'लंका की राजकुमारी' थी, या लंका के विनाश का कारण? शूर्पणखा का अर्थ है, एक ऐसी स्त्री जो नाखून की भांति कठोर हो। उसके जन्म का नाम मीनाक्षी था, अर्थात मछली जैसी सुंदर आंखों वाली। शूर्पणखा, रामायण की ऐसी पात्र है जिसे सदा गतल समझा गया है

ही कथा ऊर्मिलेची आहे. रामायणात तिच्याकडे अतिशय दुर्लक्ष झालं आहे. जशी सीता रामाबरोबर वनवासात गेली, तशी ऊर्मिलादेखील लक्ष्मणाच्या पावलावर पाऊल टाकत वनवास पत्करू शकली असती; परंतु तिने तसं केलं नाही. पतीच्या विरहामुळे उद्भवलेल्या आपत्तीचा सामना करताना तिने दाखवलेला खंबीरपणा कौतुकास्पद होता. लक्ष्मणाची वाट पाहत चौदा वर्षांचा प्रदीर्घ काळ एकटीने राजप्रासादात घालवण्याचा निर्णय ऊर्मिलेने का घेतला? ऊर्मिलेने सांगितलेली ही जीवनकथा तुम्हाला नक्कीच मोहित करेल.
