summary Prem Purana review Prem Purana 103 summary ↠ eBook or Kindle ePUB ↠ Usha Narayanan L almost nothing remained Tormented by passion wracked by betrayal torn by the agony of separation love in its many splendored forms is the origin of these incredibly endearing stories of Prem Pura Prem Purna is a collection of three mythological love stories The concept or the premise of the book itself piued my curiosity To read the romantic stories of the divine beings that we worship and adore and are always kept on a pedestal was a premise that really sparked interest Personally I have grown up reading and listening to a lot of mythological stories but always these stories are narrated with an attitude of prayer and respect but the romantic angle is never as such explored As the blurb says it is the narration of three tales of Ganesha and his wives Ravana and Mandodari and Nala Damayanti Ganesha s love story with Riddhi Siddhi and Buddhi This was one story I had never heard of Reading this story was very magical and insightful too The way the author has woven so many concepts from the puranas is amazing It not only talks about the romance but it gives a very holistic pictre of why and what of their relationship There were so many small small parables within the story that were seamlessly narrated that they automatically answered the many uestions that arose in my mind The description of the places the war and the meeting of the characters all very vivid Ravana and Mandodari s story gave me a totally different perspective Ravana is the eternally negative character but the way the author has narrated the story it never gave scope for me to become judgemental It very well highlighted as to why Mandodari persisted to love Ravana despite his aggressive behaviour Nala and Damayanti s love story is very beautifully narrated The love loss and the regain of love was very tastefully described I look forward to read the earlier works by this author and would also eagerly wait for the nextwork I highly recommend this read to all those who love mythology and romance as this is one tastefully written mythological romance

summary Prem Purana review Prem Purana 103 summary ↠ eBook or Kindle ePUB ↠ Usha Narayanan Stories of love and extraordinary devotion No one is untouched by love not even devas and asuras kings and nymphs And when they face life’s unexpected tribulations their love also undergoes trial Disclaimer I m an agnostic who detests reading love stories and I m reviewing a book based on the love stories of gods broadly or less Hence some parts of this review might end up offending the believers you shouldn t be though if you re a rational personnot that I care anyway So if you are one of those who can t even digest a little fun banter on your Gods stop right here Go and read one of those thousands of years old comic books insteadThe above information was for those who don t know me personally which covers almost the entire Earth s population sad face So what made me do it agree to read and review Prem Purana that is Well it s written by Usha Narayanan Need I say That being out of the way let s get going Prem Purana is an anthology of sorts which consists of three completely different stories all based on mythological characters though or Historical characters as many would like to call themThe first is about the most loved and revered Hindu God Ganesha yeah the same one with the head of an elephant and a body to match I remember my mother narrating stories about him his lovable personality his powers his triumphs basically all things that made him someone who Needs to be worshiped read non humane I read Ms Narayanan s version and I felt that he s anything but that The dude was almost human Who else but a human would desire read lustor maybe not each one of the three triplet sisters that too those of Lord Bhrama no less all at the same time Perv No nothingThe second one tells the not so heard story of Mandodri the wife of the highly learned yet brain effed for a supposedly divine reason king of Lanka Ravana Mandodri s devotion and unfailing loyalty and love towards her husband is something that is so lacking between partners in the current times Maybe after all there is indeed something that we can take off of all those myths and I mean it in a completely gender neutral way one can t afford to mess with the self proclaimed yet ill informed feminist nazis nowadaysThe third and the last is a tale about Nala the ruler of ancient Nishada and Damyanti the princess of Vidharba in the ancient Bharat Varsha While many of us might have read titbits about their story in our earlier school curriculum none would have known them the way the author has described in this book This one reinstates the fact that true love always wins in the end those were olden times dude don t get your hopes up She won t lose a heartbeat in dumping you today if you end up before her as an ugly dwarfLong story short if a proclaimed non believing ass like me can read and LOVE this book I m sure you lesser mortals would fall hopelessly in love with it So go ahead and read it Don t thank me later because I ll be on an anti mythology treatment in one of those ungodly institutes that treat vampires and werewolvesOn a serious note this one is yet another gem from the master storyteller Usha Narayanan You have to read it to believe it As usual the language is easy and flowing and the description makes the story almost visualI give this book a full five out of five stars
