Absent Traveller Prakrit Love Poetry from the Gathasapatasati of Satavahana Hala Read & Download Ú PDF, eBook or Kindle ePUB Reputed to have been compiled by the Satavahana King Hala in the second century CE this is a celebrated collection of 700 verses in Maharashtri Prakrit composed in the compact distilled gatha form The All amidst our mundane lives we humans find pleasure and seek succour in two ways We either indulge in beliefs hopes and dreams of lofty kinds think of the afterlife and believe in a divine scheme of things that handholds us all through our lives Or on the other hand we celebrate our basic carnality by diving deep into pleasures of the senses Art music and poetry have been three channels through which we try to bridge the gap between our carnal and ethereal selves While the spiritual aspect of life has been left for a few of us to lead with a fair degree of success the rest and the most of us face and celebrate our carnality on a day to day basis This book is an example of such unabashed celebration and it celebrates our concupiscent nature with candour Lovemaking had never been a thing that people shied away from discussing in ancient India For ancient India sex was not just an act for procreation but was one of deep pleasure too no matter how short lived the pleasure may be Our paintings portrayed it with lan our sculptures depicted the various ways of copulation and the standards of beauty for men and women And who can forget that the much talked about treatise on love the Kamasutra emanated from this land Or Kokkogam Not to forget the greatest gallery of the art of lovemaking as hewn on stone in Khajuraho All that was before the Victorian s of a hypocritical nature invaded our land but let me not digressTalking about poetry this book is an example of how even banal topics like adultery can be presented with unparalleled aesthetics that even the most self righteous mind would relish reading for the sheer poetic value without any sense of judgement and aversion The love and the lust the blissful and the banal the surreal and the venereal have all been arrayed here in this collection of poems and poetic excerpts from Prakrit literature Extracted from the works of various poets both men and women and peoples from across ages they prove that love and lust have both been topics of eually pleasurable pursuit for us Indians Arvind Krishna Mehrotra said to be a renowned poet on his own has done a commendable job in selecting and translating the works for the benefit of poetry lovers This book is a glimpse into that lost age when people were candid about their physical passions and unpretentious in embracing their animality without the modern day hypocrisy of finding cheap titillation in wardrobe malfunctions all the while pretending to have risen above the lesser physical nature And all this centuries before Lolitas and Lady Chatterley s Lovers caused furore in the civilised world This is a very worthy read that one can enjoy for the aesthetically presented amorous themes
