ABOUT THE BOOK
This work in English rhyme, hopes to preserve the sense of the great classic. If this work can incite the reader to turn to the original it would have achieved its purpose.

Gita and Ramayana are perhaps the sum total of the fabrics of Hinduism (- a way of life; the religion generally followed is called `Sanatan Dharma'). Gita teaches us both metaphysics and practice of disciplined action. It proclaims that life is worth living, teaches how it should be lived and the path to self-realisation. It is the cream of the Upanishads, which themselves are the core of the Four Vedas.

Lord's teachings do not end with what He stated to Arjun. He resides in each one of us and so communicates to us through our conscience.

Chapter 1 - Arjun's Dilemma

Lamenting the Consequence of War

The scene is on the plains of Kuruksetra and with Arjun uncomfortable with the consequences of war. This chapter introduces the reasons behind the war, characters involved, warriors on both sides, Arjun’s dejection at having to fight against his own kith and kin and his fears of the sins that may be on him for doing so.

धृतराष्ट्र उवाच

धर्मक्षेत्रे कुरुक्षेत्रे समवेता युयुत्सवः।

मामकाः पाण्डवाश्चैव किमकुर्वत संजय॥

॥१-१॥

Raja Dhritrashtra

"Tell me Sanjay of their deeds,

Of Kauravs, Pandavs - their feats,

What rages at their field of duty,

At Kurukshetra - visualize clearly."

Goals Of Life

BASIC LIFE ATTRIBUTES

Four purusharthas or goals of the life be,

So very crystal clear in life undisputedly;

Artha getting useful wealth and prosperity,

Finding the meaning for living herein truly;

Kama fulfilling desires, acting repeatedly,

It the physical, material desire fulfillment be;

Dharma – the foundation of all human goals be,

Refers to obligations, conduct, moral duties;

Moksha – the liberation from the web of maya be,

Freedom from the cycles of birth and death clearly;

As all the rivers must lead to the sea eventually,

All spiritual paths leading to the same goal finally;

And all of the variety of life are created certainly,

By combination of the three Gunas undisputedly.

That the backdrop for the Bhagwat Gita surely be,

All three gunas so held to delude the World clearly:

World deluded by Three Gunas does not know Me:

Who beyond these Gunas, imperishable does be.

If Brahman an infinite ocean, then Atma a wave within be,

Ocean not different from its waves, the waves as ocean be;

They are but one and the same very similar in actuality,

So Brahman and Atma are one and the same in reality.

Pt. Kanhaiya Lal Misra - My Father

Preview ebook Quotes

Available at:

1. Barnes & Noble

2. Amazon

Pt K. L. Misra (Advocate General of Uttar Pradesh, India from 1952 to 1969) was far more than an Advocate.

Sir Auther Quinal Quach, Author:

It is the Englishman who has conquered India but it is only an Indian (K.L. Misra) who has conquered English

Justice S.R. Das, Chief Justice of India

Mr. Misra, why don’t you more often appear in the Supreme Court? In the cases in which you appear it raises the standard of our judgments.

Mr. Sheerwai, Senior Advocate

When Mr. Misra arrived and we had consultations, he was quite. I thought the bulk of the argument is going to fall on my shoulders. But after hearing his brilliant arguments for several days, my feeling is, even if I add something more than what has been submitted, I would only be able to scratch or wash off the beautiful varnish put by him.

Sri. S.N. Mulla, Senior Criminal Advocate

Mr. Misra never clamoured for the front line. He took his seat wherever he found one. But he never knew – it was not the front bench but wherever he sat became the focus of attraction.

Sri Shanti Bhushan, Law Minister Of India and Senior Advocate

He was such a versatile and noble man that the like of him may not be born again.

The reader gets a personal glimpse of Pt. Kanhaiya Lal Misra – his love for his wife, a poet, a loving father, with eagerness to help and a very tender, calm person at heart with over-flowing love for the family and people around.

Since there was a major gap of around 50 years between father and son - the outlook of the author does give a different view to the towering personality of this great legal luminary and one of the strongly dedicated upholders of the legal institution of India.

The author, Munindra Misra, is the youngest of the five sons and three daughters of Late Pt. Kanhaiya Lal Misra.

Devi Mahatmayam In English Rhyme

Durga Saptasati or Devi Mahtmayam has been written in English rhyme (with the original text) and is available at:

1. Barnes and Noble

2. Amazon

- India

ABOUT THE BOOK

Devi Mahatmayam, also known as Durga Saptashati, Sri Chandi or Saptashati, is from the Markandeya Mahapuran. Devi Mahatmayamm literally means ‘Glory of the Goddess’. Here the seven hundred mantra story describes the victory of the Goddess over the Asuras (Madhu-Kaitabha, Mahishasura and Shambha-Nishumbha) - representing the conquest and freedom from the tamsik Mahakali (Chapter 1), rajsik Mahalakshmi (Chapters 2-4) and satvik Mahasaraswati (Chapters 5-13) forces. Her adversaries represent the all-too-human impulses arising from the pursuit of power, possessions, pleasure and from the illusions of self-importance.

The Devi, personified as one supreme Goddess and many goddesses, confronts the demons within us - representing the field of human consciousness within each person.

Spiritual practice of Sadhaka, facing three forces be,

Of Tamas, Rajas, Sattva – stage by stage gradually;

- 129 –

Devi-Mahatmayam has special meaning for spirituality,

With illumination, wisdom, strength to freedom finally!

- 150 –

After the slaying of these basic three qualities only,

Does dawn ‘Dashmi Dhashahra’ – the final victory.

- 151 –

Devi-Mahatmayam or Durga Saptashati Katha but be,

Showing the path of life to the whole of humanity;

- 152 –

Very much like the holy Bhagwat Gita undoubtedly,

As the song of the Lord for enlightenment does be.

- 153 –

To the integral character of the spiritual practice glory,

Glory to Man, village, town, country, universe, God be!

- 154 -
