Practically, almost everyone has the shades of grays, and it is the responsibility of the storyteller to explore them in that way. What I like in this book is the way the character of Arjun is explored. Of course, the way characters of Ravana, Ruchik, Satyavati, Yamadagni, Renuka, Ram and others are explored are pretty effective and nice, Arjun's character is given proper footage.
I'd not seen it is explored so much in other scriptures I came across so far. And I confirm that if it is not explored so nicely, his actions and others' reactions towards the same might not be that convincing.
With that let me tell you that each of the character is given its due importance. The book is good at philosophical and spiritual level as well. The expertise of the author in building scenes and explaining surroundings and exploring battle is admirable. He is a worthy competitor to the bestselling authors in this genre in many aspects. Here are some of the interesting lines from the book: In every country or society, there exists a few who are unhappy with the way things are… No matter how far one travelled, one had to come back home at the end of the journey.
The cover page is good but could have been a little better. Summary: Overall, a fantastically retold mythological tale with logical approach. The book has good literary attributes and strong characters. Apr 21, Vedant Pophale rated it it was amazing. I have been following Dr. Vineet Aggarwal's blog decodehindumythology. I bought it the second I saw it because, first, I admired the author because of his blog and second, it was a book about Parshu-Raam. Many Indian authors have writ I have been following Dr.
Many Indian authors have written about mythology but they limited themselves to the popular stories of Ramayan and Mahabharat. Vineet has dived deep into the mythology with both his books about popular but lesser known characters.
Vishwamitra and now Parshuram The book is divided into three parts. First part is about Parshuram's family, second is about the antagonist?
But throughout the book, the evil is rising in the background. What I loved about the book is that it is filled with mythological information and the scientific explanations of 'what could have been'. Another thing was that whenever I heard the story of Parshuram, Kartavirya Arjun was already a villain, no explanation, just a messy king drunk with power but this book explains what went wrong and how it happened.
A very easy yet gripping read. Congratulations to Dr. Vineet Aggarwal and Best of luck for the future endeavors! Dec 29, Saurin rated it really liked it. Many Indians will know of the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu but seldom do any of us know any avatar aside of Lord Ram and Krishna.
This book is the life story of Parshuraam, the warrior avatar of Lord Vishnu. The Legend of Parshuraam methodically retraces his life beginning with a perspective of how things had shaped up in the generation that ruled prior to him in Nabhivarsh older name for the Indian subcontinent.
The book also beautifully highlights the softer elements of the man who is best known as a killing machine. It is a layered story with a series of subplots each delving into the human psychology and the complexities that emanate from people trying to manipulate others to get their way. It explains in a subtle way the unknown ramifications of a series of binary choices that people are faced with and the outcome that leads them to paths they would not have imagined in their wildest dreams, akin to the butterfly effect.
Feel proud of Dr Vineet Aggarwal and feel happy to know that he has matured beautifully as a writer. The earlier book Vishwamitra has been a good warm up to this staggering feat, the future classic fingers crossed : The Legend of Parshuraam. Dec 22, Mihir rated it really liked it. The Legend of Parshu-Raam, Simple, gripping and interesting read. There are a lot of back stories.
This is much needed for people who are not familiar with them. The story goes on tell how situations prevailing before his birth forced a Brahmin of Alambayin gotra -Raam turns out to be the Bramhakshtriya Parshu-raam-The wielder of the axe. Vineet has managed to keep a perfect balance, between true mythological facts and fresh use of his imagination. Plus, he has maintained the authenticity of the period very well. Fabulous book on one of the most fascinating characters of Indian mythology.
Vineet Agarwal, sticks to the original Purana, giving his interpretation, without deviation. And fortunately, does not inject pseudo science, or force fit contemporary events. Interestingly the title character actually makes his appearance half way in the book.
The first half, is more on Parashuram's lineage, his parents, his ancestors, and the gradual transformation of Kartyavira Arjun, the antagonist, from a just, Fabulous book on one of the most fascinating characters of Indian mythology. The first half, is more on Parashuram's lineage, his parents, his ancestors, and the gradual transformation of Kartyavira Arjun, the antagonist, from a just, wise ruler to a merciless tyrant.
The machinations of the Naga, Asur tribes are well depicted. While Dr. Agarwal does explore the inter relations between the Naga, Asur and Kshatriya clans, his language is far better than the vastly overrated Amish Tripathi's.
And no teen speak to make it reach out to younger audiences. This is some one who knows his history, mythology and philosophy well, unlike Tripathi's half baked theories. And that in itself is a reason to read this book.

But what made him a slayer is a story seldom narrated. There is a lot of mystery around this mythological character and I was very glad when I found this book written by Dr. Vineet Aggarwal.

The author is very good in establishing relationships between the characters because of which it is very easy to relate to each one of them. In all, I loved reading the book and would definitely recommend it! Dec 09, Guttu rated it really liked it. Lord Parshuram is worshipped mostly by Brahmins and a few tribes in remote areas. I always wished to know more about him. Read more about him. But there isn't much written about him. It lays out the strategy of the Masters RAAM winner in detail, so you can adopt it to your own needs.

This 43rd volume asseses the value of EDI to using workstations as building blocks for parallel computing.
This book is a theoretical investigation into meaning - computationally driven, philosophically inspired and psychologically motivated. Concepts from formal and psychological semantics, the philosophy of mind and computational theory are examined and combined within the burgeoning new framework of connectionist cognitive science.
Conception of linguistic organisation involving the factorisation of syntactically relevant information into at least four parallel dimensions of structure. The modern study of cognition finds itself with two widely endorsed but seemingly incongruous theoretical paradigms.
The first of these, inspired by formal logic and the digital computer, sees reasoning in the principled manipulation of structured symbolic representations. The second, inspired by the physiology of the brain, sees reasoning as the behavior that emerges from the direct interactions found in large networks of simple processing components. Each paradigm has its own accomplishments, problems, methodology, proponents, and agenda.
This book records the thoughts of researchers -- from both computer science and philosophy -- on resolving the debate between the symbolic and connectionist paradigms. It addresses theoretical and methodological issues throughout, but at the same time exhibits the current attempts of practicing cognitive scientists to solve real problems.
The series is a platform for contributions of all kinds to this rapidly developing field. General problems are studied from the perspective of individual languages, language families, language groups, or language samples. Conclusions are the result of a deepened study of empirical data.
Special emphasis is given to little-known languages, whose analysis may shed new light on long-standing problems in general linguistics. The Guru Granth Sahib is a hefty tome of 1, pages. Sikh tradition is that from roughly the middle half of the Guru Granth, usually at the beginning of a randomly selected page or the previous page if the hymn started there , one hymn is selected. This is read as the Hukam Nama or the Order of the Day.
Clearly, many Sikhs living outside the Punjabi ambience would have great difficulty figuring out its meaning. A Bible concordance and dictionary Arranged In Alphabetical Order, and containing, in addition to the usual literal explanation of words, a large number of short doctrinal and practical articles on important truths found in the Word of God.
It is a voluminous text of pages, compiled and composed during the period of Sikh Gurus, from AD to AD. The text remains the holy scripture of the Sikhs, regarded as the teachings of the Ten Gurus. Highly commended in a live TV interview by Mr. A concise, fully illustrated, poetic version of the sacred Hindu text : the Ramayan : aimed at readers aged 11yrs and above : conveying Raam's complete life story.
Mr Ashwini Malhi from BBC Asian Network quoted: "This is an easy to follow, epic tale of the epitome of Raam's life that gives insight and guidance on how to lead a virtuous life. Jiotty Kaushal has illustrated that the morals and principles practiced thousands of years ago have the same value, even today.
If man is envisioned to be the masterpiece conception of God, if he is not a mere specimen of a zoological species as Shri Radha Krishna puts it , if his community is not to be merely an ant heap or a beehive but a collective endeavor to express and fulfill Gods purpose, then a human in todays world is lacking. God did not create us randomly; he made each of us for a purpose, and he is determined that we accomplish that purpose.
They communicated joy and wonder and fervor to the men and women who came to them in the depths of despair. For Jews who felt abandoned and forsaken by God, these Hasidic masters incarnated an irresistible call to help and salvation.
