Description
FROM AUTHOR'S PREFACE:
I had to preserve the stories of the sages for posterity. I grew up with them and am still living with them. Their life stories made me chuckle, laugh, ponder, grieve and marvel. I want my readers to experience this whole range of emotions.
The stories are bizarre to say the least. However, we discern in them a society in the Process of evolving and prescribing hard and fast rules of conduct, caste and administration. Reading these is like tasting wild, unwashed fruit from the forest.
Here and there one’s heart pulsates with the thrill of coming across familiar thinking, argument, ideology and even a hint of faded history. These are our roots deeply embedded in these stories.
