The Object Of a Translator Should Ever Be To Hold The Mirror Upto His
Author. That Being so, His Chief Duty Is To Represent So Far As
Practicable The Manner In which His Author'S Ideas Have Been Expressed,
Retaining if Possible At The Sacrifice Of idiom And Taste All The
Peculiarities Of his Author'S Imagery And Of language As Well. In regard
To Translations From The Sanskrit, Nothing is Easier Than To Dish Up Hindu
Ideas, So As To Make Them Agreeable To English Taste. But The Endeavour Of
The Present Translator Has Been To Give In the Following pages As Literal
A Rendering as Possible Of the Great Work Of vyasa. To The Purely English
Reader There Is Much In the Following pages That Will Strike As Ridiculous.
Those Unacquainted With Any Language But Their Own Are Generally Very
Exclusive In matters Of taste. Having no Knowledge Of models Other Than
What They Meet With In their Own Tongue, The Standard They Have Formed Of
Purity And Taste In composition Must Necessarily Be A Narrow One. The
Translator, However, Would Ill-Discharge His Duty, If For The Sake Of
Avoiding ridicule, He Sacrificed Fidelity To The Original. He Must
Represent His Author As He Is, Not As He Should Be To Please The Narrow
Taste Of those Entirely Unacquainted With Him. Mr. Pickford, In the
Preface To His English Translation Of the Mahavira Charita, Ably Defends A
Close Adherence To The Original Even At The Sacrifice Of idiom And Taste
Against The Claims Of what Has Been Called 'Free Translation,' Which Means
Dressing the Author In an Outlandish Garb To Please Those To Whom He Is
Introduced. [mehr]

All the beautiful daughters of Mara

A novel written by Ashok atreya is an attempt of embodying the para-psychological, ethereal and day-to-day experiences of the hero. The Key to this novel is very clearly explained in the 54th chapter with the same title " All the beautiful Daughters of Mara", in which Anand, the hero, tells us the story of his previous births, where he visualizes the past and present where his unfulfilled desire for eternal love accentuates with unending lust for life, get freely expressed.
The myth of "All the beautiful Daughters of Mara" existing parallel to his own span of life, of which only present is visible and the rest of the episodes in his previous births, Anand experiences as and when he encounters them.
The overall development of this novel could only be examined with the help of a "Tantrik-based parody", where not only the sequence of Janma-Janmantra is added for an additional fervor, exposing the hero's passion and lust through and through but also his predicament of being a helpless victim in the hands of mystic destiny.
The author has picked up an apparently mystic theme. Unconsciously, as he has inherited the tradition of religion, Indian mythology and Tantra from his ancestors, but the beauty of the work lies in the fact of a secular approach to life omitting the bondages of caste and creed. In this background, this work of fiction becomes para-modern!
The libidinal instinct of Anand in his present and previous births, attaches with himself a number of voluptuous women belonging to various ethnic backgrounds. Tantra, as a distinctive sect of Hindu worship tradition, has very significant role of "Panch-Makars" and, therefore, the Omni-presence of women around the hero is the internal necessity of the theme, which results into many neo-vam-margi experience. This is, thus, a novel-departure in the field of contemporary Indian English writing.
The novelist has very aptly casted valid comment on the degeneration of present political scenario by elevating the police -shooter, an encounter-specialist to the supreme office of the President. (this is just like The then President of Pakistan General Parvez Musharraf (Who started his career as an ordinary military commando) These are not mere fiction fantasies but all around us, we find such absurdities taking shape !
The sub-titles attributed to 58 chapters lucidly establish the internal consistency of unbelievable episodes full of love, lust and crime, tied with an unseen threads of births and rebirths.
Naturally such a theme has interminable prospective of constructing stories -interesting and unending, of which Ashok Aatreya, as a fiction writer, has all the potential. [mehr]

The Journey of the Little Angel Thot

What Damian Mohler created when he wrote „The Journey of the Little Angel Thot“ is an imaginative and touching fable on the circle of life.
Fables have always been a wonderful way to teach, to touch, to transform; they awaken courage and provide us with love, they make us want to seek out adventures and new experiences, they can clarify and heal.
In Western society, there has always been a taboo on death and dying, and in many ways this is true to this day. Few people want to concern themselves with it, even fewer want to talk about it. It seems like we tend to be “deathly afraid” of death as a topic. Dogmatic teachings make us fear death and can actually amplify the despair and grief we feel when we lose someone dear to us.
As someone who grew up in a Western society, I myself had my first “light” encounter with death in 1993 whilst travelling to Bali. We participated in a Hindu ritual where the deceased were burned on a pyre. Hindus believe in reincarnation and in souls being reborn after having left their mortal bodies, returning to the people they loved. But this is possible only after the old vessel, i.e. the body, has been burnt.
The ceremony in Bali was a joyful one – the circle of birth, life and death had come to a close and could begin anew.
This succession of birth, life and death as an eternal cycle is the subject of Damian Mohler's fable. It does not, however, subscribe to any particular religion or dogma. Damian Mohler lets the reader experience this cycle through the eyes of the protagonist. The discoveries of the little angel Thot are meant to help the reader grasp and understand this cycle.
Pain and grief are natural reactions to the death of a loved one. But understanding this cycle might enable us to see a light and thereby find relief, maturity and insight.
And, like the little angel Thot, we too constantly describe the journey through life within this cycle, with all its ups and downs. On this journey obstacles, loss and pain can make us feel like we're breaking apart, like we can't go on, and make us want to give up. Here, Thot's experiences remind us that within the darkness of all these emotions, there is always hope.
Damian is adept at passing on this wisdom and knowledge, shaped by the work he has been doing for years as well as his own experiences. Perceptive, touching and compassionate, his story of the little angel Thot's journey of discovery helps us discover our own inner selves.

Yoga ( Sanskriti: yoga ) is a spiritual process in which the work of bringing the body, mind, and soul together (yoga) takes place. This word-process and perception - is related to the meditation process in Hindu text, Jain text, and Buddist text. The word Yoga has spread from India to Buddhist texts in China, Japan, Tibet, South East Asia, and Shri Lanka as well and people are familiar with it at all times in the civilized world.
For the first time since fame, on 11 December 2014, the United Nations general assembly has recognized 21 June each year as world Yoga day. The definition should be such that it is free from imprecision and exaggeration faults, it can be able to describe the meaning of the word for yoga which is suitable for every topic and is not suitable for anything other than yoga. The Bhagwad Gita is considered a prestigious book. The word yoga has been used many times in it, sometimes alone and sometimes in particular, such as Buddhayoga, Sanyasayoga, Karmayoga. The names Bhakti Yoga and Hath yoga also become prevalent during the Vedas period. Patanjali comes to see the word Kriya Yoga in Yogadarshan. Words like Pashupati Yoga and Maheshwar Yoga also have references. The meanings of the word Yoga in all these places are different from each other.
In the Gita, Shri krishna has said at a place ' Yoga: Karmasu Kaushalam 4 ' (Efficiency in deeds is Yoga.) This sentence is not the definition of Yoga. Some scholars believe that the joining of the soul and the divine is called yoga. There is a big objection in accepting that even Buddhism, which does not accept God's authority, behaves with the word Yoga and supports Yoga. The same can be said for communities who consider the authority of God to be imperfect. Patanjali 's YogasutraIn, the definition that has been given is 'Yogashtantvatrishnirodha', the name of the prevention of the mental practices is Yoga. This sentence can have two meanings: Yoga is the state of detention of the mind, or the remedy to bring this state is Yoga.

Harinath Paul (Hari) and Sam Krishna Roy (Sam) are two friends who joined Indian Railways at Kharagpur as a 5-years apprentice mechanical in January 1964.They became very closed and best friend each other. During this training period, Hari loved Maria (Anjali) an anglo-Indian girl whose father was Goerge Gomes, General Foreman of boiler shop in Kharagpur railway workshops,an original Britisher and mother(Agatha) an Indian Hindu Bengali woman.Agatha was residing in his outhouse as a full time domestic help before her marriage with George. After a long ups and down Hari and Anjali became a married couple where Sam played a leading role (both negetive and positive).
Sam became alone after demise of her wife at the age of about 40. Within a few years of his loneliness a terrorist couple took shelter in Sam's house as a tenant showing him the fake Government identity proof of Indian citizenship. Later both were arrested by the Kashmiri police with the help of Calcutta police. Actually, the young man, Md. Ibrahim introduced himself as Mohan Kumar (26-27) who was a Pakistani terrorist and married a Hindu Bengali girl introduced as Bina Kumar(23-24). They found no other alternate but to leave their only child of six months old under custody of Sam, the land lord who brought up her as his grand-daughter. Later she became a most efficient police offcer of Indian Police Service who also became terror to the terrorists of Jammu and Kashmir. She was awarded by Prsident of India for her gallantary service. But she was not happy and her eyes were searching her father and mother amongst the terrorist, live or dead in jail or out side the jail. Ultimately she found both her parents, but she accepted only her mother and left Jammu nd Kashmir on transfer with her grandpa and mother to Calcutta.How she got her parents was a story of thrill and wonderful with tears of emotion.
Anjali's history teacher of her school at Kharagpur railway township, Moinuddin proposed to marry her when she was in class twelve(10+2) as his second wife though he was having a wife live with a daughter. This could not materialise through a series of drama and climax. She became fade up with the jobs in various British and Indian private companies where she had to serve as confidential assistant to Managing Director or Director. Everything was good, but that was with sexual abuses in different forms. Otherwise there was no chance to continue the job. Finally she left the job and joined as a lecturer in a reputed college and started to stay at Calcutta 116 km away from her house at Kharagpur. Being a christian girl, she found easily accomodation in Young Women Christian Association(YWCA) in Calcutta where she came in contact with social service, particularly for the destitutes and older women who were left by their British husbands after British rules ended in 15th August 1947 in India.
Hasina, wife of Moinuddin started a school in their quarter at Kharagpur for the poor girls and illiterate women, particularly of Muslim community overcoming a huge obstacles posed by the Maulovis and Immams. Hasina initially, did not get support from her husband Moinuddin due to the life threatening from those Maulovis and Imamas. Fortunately, a Muslim police officer of Kharagpur police station helped Hasina in all respects to open her primary school. She believed that due to illiteracy and poverty, women of Muslim community become the prey of the patriarchal torture and deprivation socially and economically by them if those women do not obey the fatawah of Imam or Maulovi.
During the Indo-Pak war in 1965, a few maulovis were arrested and punished for the anti-Indian activities. These people were also against Hasina and they once kidnapped and assaulted physically her and her daughter when her husband Moinuddin went to his native village for her younger sister's marriage for a few days. There he found another set-back from his elder sister who was forcibly given Talak(divorce) by her husband on flimsy ground and came back with her two kids. Moinuddin then realised the bad result of poligamy which he himself once wanted to marry Anjai as second wife. He condemned this system of poligamy in Muslim community.
Hasina took initiative to make a non-violent movement with the help of Anjali, Hari and Sam and organised in a district, state and countrwide non-violent movement against all fundamentalists and orthodox Muslims who were doing all anti-Islamic activities, particularly torture on women of Muslim community. Later this fundamentalists and orthodox Muslims were known as Taliban, LeT and other terrorists groups indulging in killing innocent people in the name of Islam.
Hsina and her associates established All India Depressed and Deprived Women Organisation(AIDDWO) and Bilkis, an opressed and tortured Muslim woman became President of AIDDWO. Non-violent movement was spreding like fire throughout world, particularly terror-stricken countries like USA, India, UK, Afghanistan, Pakistan and others.
Military offensive started by Pakistan government against terrorists in Pakistan with the cvilian's support like APDDWO(All Pakistan Dipressed and Deprived Women Organisation), a sistern organisation of AIDDWO. This contued upto 2013 when terrorists were defeated and they surrendered under the two tongue operation by military offensive and civil non-violent movement enmass through out the terror stricken countries including USA, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, UK and others. Huge terrorists were killed with lesser number of army. Terrorists groups had to accept the Treaty of Peace forever. Thus Peace was regained in the world. [mehr]

Man's Fate and God's Choice
An Agenda for Human Transformation

Stagnate as a 'creepy caterpillar' or transform into a 'beauteous butterfly'-this path-breaking book of a rare genre suggests-is the seminal choice before mankind, and every one of us. In this setting, the book raises some fundamental questions: What is man's rightful place in the cosmos and his manifest destiny on earth? Why are we so self-righteously self-destructive? Are we a doomed species? Or 'divine' beings struggling to overcome the hubris of the human intellect? Is God getting weary of mankind? How should we synergize human effort and Divine Grace?
The book posits that any betterment in human behavior needs a cathartic change at the deepest levels. That requires diluting the dominance of the mind and reawakening the long-dormant intelligence of the human heart. To meet that challenge, we need minimum numbers, a 'critical mass' to create self-sustained momentum for transformation through consciousness change. And every single human of this generation should behave in such a way that he or she is that single person whose transformation could make the decisive species-scale difference. The book offers a menu of ideas and an agenda of action.
This book could be itself become an input to mobilize that very 'critical mass' it advocates for human transformation.
Well-planned and cohesively written, the book is noteworthy for its delightful blend of information and arguments, and reveals the depth of the author’s understanding of the human predicament... This is a closely argued and thought-provoking book...
The Hindu, 13 Sept 2011
[This book] is a gripping exposition on human nature and self-transformation without preference to religion... Challa has critically provided a foundational argument for a deeper discussion of philosophical and practical ideals concerning self-transformation... harmonizing the head and the heart is the way for humans to function as spiritual beings. Recommended by the USR.
The US Review of Books
[The author] reflects upon the crisis of contemporary civilizations and outlines a blueprint for a new world order based on progressive spiritual values and change of human consciousness. The strength of this treatise is the sweep of Challa’s reach and his treatment of a vastly complex set of issues that bedevil humankind today...
India International Center Quarterly, Summer 2012
As a thinker and erudite scholar, [the author] has made a profound study of the world situation and the moral decadence of man... [This book] deserves to be on the shelves of university, college and public libraries...
Triveni Magazine, July–Sept 2011
It is difficult to pigeon-hole this book as... a ‘prophetic discourse’, a ‘journey into the human mind’, a ‘guide for human survival’, a ‘spiritual treatise’. It is an amalgam of all these and more... the volume reaches out to those who are already uneasy about the way we on this earth are progressing.
