language: en
Publisher: Notion Press
Release Date: 2025-12-16
The Anugita is a conversation between Krishna and Arjuna at the Pandavas' palace after the Kurukshetra war had ended. It is included in the Book XIV of Mahabharata, In that sense, Anugita is the second discourse by Krishna to Arjuna, the first one being in the form of Bhagavad Gita, included in the Book VI of Mahabharata. Anugita explores the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, and how individual actions (karma) determine one's destiny and the experiences of the soul (jiva) in the afterlife. It provides insights into the means of achieving liberation from this cycle, emphasizing self-realization and spiritual wisdom. Anugita elaborates on the three fundamental qualities (gunas): Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas—and their effects. It discusses the duties and stages of life (ashramas), the importance of dharma (righteous conduct) and tapas (austerity) as paths to spiritual growth. Anugita beautifully integrates the disciplines of austerity, sacrifice (yajna), and yoga, showing how yoga elevates and fulfils the other two, leading to self-realization. All the above-mentioned concepts of Anugita are discussed in details in this book consisting of 3 sections and 42 chapters.

To the gods belongs the glory of this enlightening development, to Jijith the realisation of the insights involved, and to us, readers fall the fruit of his labour. – Dr Koenraad Elst, Indologist, Belgium. Jijith’s book represents a fresh wave of writing that revisits Bh?rat?ya epics through the lens of historicity. This is a welcome departure from the Orientalist treatment of relegating them to the status of “mythology”. - J.

Arun Kolatkar and Literary Modernism in India
In this first scholarly work on India's great modern poet, Laetitia Zecchini outlines a story of literary modernism in India and discusses the traditions, figures and events that inspired and defined Arun Kolatkar. Based on an impressive range of archival and unpublished material, this book also aims at moving lines of accepted genealogies of modernism and 'postcolonial literature'. Zecchini uncovers how poets of Kolatkar's generation became modern Indian writers while tracing a lineage to medieval oral traditions. She considers how literary bilingualism allowed Kolatkar to blur the boundaries between Marathi and English, 'Indian' and 'Western sources; how he used his outsider position to privilege the quotidian and minor and revived the spirit of popular devotion. Graphic artist, poet and songwriter, storyteller of Bombay and world history, poet in Marathi, in English and in 'Americanese', non-committal and deeply political, Kolatkar made lines wobble and treasured impermanence. Steeped in world literature, in European avant-garde poetry, American pop and folk culture, in a 'little magazine' Bombay bohemia and a specific Marathi ethos, Kolatkar makes for a fascinating subject to explore and explain the story of modernism in India.
